Drive on Frankfurt (1987)

NATO-Soviet Future Warfare in West Germany was the theme of the first game published in CounterAttack magazine. One player controls the NATO forces and the other player, Soviet (based on the weapons of the day... 1987).

Points are awarded for control of urban and town centres and for NATO unit losses. The net Soviet points determine the Victory level.

The game is noteable for the following rule:

"13.2 Nuclear Weapons - Either player, feeling his position is hopeless, may overturn the game table. He forfeits the game, but we hope he enjoys losing so spectacularly."
