Inspired by ideas of Phil Barker (of WRG fame), these rules were a tactical training game for the US Army for approximately twenty years. Written by Captains Dunn and Kempf, the rules aimed to accurately model potential battles between American forces in Europe and the Warsaw Pact. In addition to being fun to play, the game aimed to be worthwhile military training including: American and Warsaw Pact Tactics. Weapon capabilities and effects. Correct employment of indirect fire, such as artillery and mortars. Appropriate use of terrain. Defensive use of smoke. Creation of kill zones. This edition of the rules includes additional material that has emerged since the first edition. It is the Fort Leavenworth Combined Arms Training Center edition, plus the optional combat tables from the III Corps edition of the rules. These rules are published by the History of Wargaming Project as part of its work to document the development of professional wargaming.
