Additional Rules The following rules are in effect during a 1985: Mutual Assured Destruction campaign

50. NATO POLITICAL RELIABILITY

In a global conflict against Warsaw Pact, not every NATO country

was ready for anything. Internal dissent, long-standing grudges or

lack of discipline in the armed forces could have limited or disrupted

military operations.

50.1 France

1. During Tension Turns before the outbreak of hostilities, French units outside France or Belgium cannot move. French units in France or Belgium may move freely but cannot enter any other country. Starting with the first Turn of war, this restriction is no longer in effect.

2. During Tension Turns before the outbreak of hostilities, only French units may enter France. Starting with the first Turn of war, this restriction is no longer in effect.

3. During the External Events Phase of the first Turn of war, NATO Player rolls a die: on a roll from 1 to 12, French Combat Units cannot be stacked with units of any other nationality; on a roll from 13 to 20, there is no stacking restrictions on French Combat Units. French Berlin Brigade may always stack with units of other nationalities.

4. During the External Events Phase of the first Turn of war, NATO Player rolls a die: on a roll of 1 to 8, French Communist Party organizes mass demonstrations against intervention in the conflict. All French reinforcements are delayed by two Turns.

50.2 Italy

1. Italian Air and Helicopter Squadrons may be used only in Air Areas partially or completely overlapping Italian or Austrian territory, or in missions targeting a hex inside Italian or Austrian territory.

2. Italian Ground Units may be employed only on Italian or Austrian territory (exception: Folgore Brigade, see below).

3. During the External Events Phase of the first Turn of war, NATO Player rolls a die: on a roll of 1 to 6, Folgore Paratroopers Brigade and any transporting Air or Helicopter squadron may be sent outside Italy to support NATO defense; all other Italian Units must remain in Italy or Austria.

50.3 Netherlands

1. The first time a Dutch Ground unit is involved in a Ground Combat, NATO Player must roll a die before combat resolution.

2. On a roll of 1 to 3, mass desertions force Dutch government to repatriate the Army or face its dissolution. The following rules applies immediately:

a. The Cadre Rating of all untried Dutch Combat Units outside Netherlands, artillery included, becomes 0. Cadre rating of untried Dutch units in Netherlands is unaffected.

b. All Dutch Ground units outside Netherlands must be withdrawn to Netherlands as soon as possible, using the standard movement rules.

c. No Dutch Ground unit inside Netherlands may leave Netherlands.

3. On a roll of 4 to 6, panic spreads among conscript units. The following rules applies immediately:

a. The Cadre Rating of all untried Dutch Combat Units outside Netherlands, artillery included, becomes 1. Cadre rating of untried Dutch units in Netherlands is unaffected.

b. No Dutch Ground unit inside Netherlands may leave Netherlands.

51. NATO SURRENDER

Each country has its breaking point beyond which the will to fight

simply disintegrates. For some NATO countries with strong national

communist parties or long-standing tradition of appeasement, this

breaking point could be particularly low.

Note: When surrender is triggered by a WP Combat Unit, be sure to check the difference between “in General Supply” and “with a valid ground Supply Path”. For example, an Airborne unit is usually in General Supply during the Turn of its airdrop, but it is probably unable to trace a valid ground Supply Path.

51.1 Austria Surrender

1. The first time a Warsaw Pact Combat Unit enters Austria, NATO Player must roll a die: on a roll from 1 to 5, Austria surrenders.

2. As soon as Warsaw Pact controls all Vienna City hexes, NATO Player must roll a die: on a roll of 1 to 8, Austria surrenders.

3. As soon as Warsaw Pact controls all Austrian City hexes, Austria surrenders.

51.2 Belgium Surrender

1. The first time a Warsaw Pact Combat Unit with a valid ground Supply Path enters Belgium, NATO Player must roll a die: on a roll from 1 to 3, Belgium surrenders.

2. The first time a Warsaw Pact Combat Unit with a valid ground Supply Path enters Liege, NATO player must roll a die: on a roll from 1 to 6, Belgium surrenders.

3. In the event of Belgian surrender, Belgian Ground Units in General Supply stacked with or adjacent to a NATO Ground Combat Unit, and Belgian Air and Helicopter squadrons based with other NATO squadrons, become Free Belgian units and are not removed from play. Free Belgian units may use any valid Belgian or French Supply Source.

51.3 Denmark Surrender

Rules for Denmark surrender have a standard version and an

optional version, more in NATO favour. The more “Viking” version

could be used if both Players agree.

51.3.1 Denmark Surrender (Standard Version)

1. The first time a Warsaw Pact Combat Unit enters Danish territory, NATO player must roll a die: on a roll of 1 to 6, Denmark surrenders.

2. The first time a WP Combat Unit is on the island of Sjaelland at the very beginning of Warsaw Pact Action Phase, in General Supply or able to trace a valid Supply Path to an undamaged Port under WP control, NATO Player must roll a die: on a roll of 1 to 10, Denmark surrenders.

3. The first time a Warsaw Pact Combat Unit enters a Kobenhavn City hex, NATO Player must roll a die: on a roll of 1 to 15, Denmark surrenders.

4. In the event of a Danish surrender, Warsaw Pact player (only) may use Danish ferries, subject to the standard rules and limitations.

51.3.2 Denmark Surrender (Viking Version)

5

WP control, NATO Player must roll a die: on a roll from 1 to 10, Denmark surrenders.

3. The first time all Kobenhavn City hexes are under WP control, NATO Player must roll a die: on a roll from 1 to 15, Denmark surrenders.

4. In the event of a Danish surrender, Danish Ground Units in General Supply stacked with or adjacent to a NATO Ground Combat Unit, Danish Air and Helicopter squadrons based with other NATO squadrons, and Danish Naval units not in a Port became Free Denmark units and are not removed from play. Free Denmark units may use any valid NATO, UK or West German Supply Source.

5. In the event of a Danish surrender, Warsaw Pact player (only) may use Danish ferries, subject to the standard rules and limitations.

51.4 Finland Surrender

1. The first time all Finnish Ports are under Warsaw Pact control at the very beginning of Warsaw Pact Action Phase, Finland surrenders.

51.5 Italy Surrender

1. The first time a Warsaw Pact Combat Unit with a valid ground Supply Path enters Italy or Austria, NATO Player must roll a die: on a roll of 1 to 8, civil disorder erupts in Italy; all Italian City and Urban hex must be garrisoned by Italian Combat Units as soon as possible and must remain so until the end of the game.

2. The first time a Warsaw Pact Combat Unit with a valid ground Supply Path enters an Italian City hex, NATO Player must roll a die: on a roll from 1 to 10, Italy surrenders.

3. As soon as a Warsaw Pact Combat Unit with a valid ground Supply Path enters a Milano City hex, Italy surrenders.

2. The first time a Warsaw Pact Combat Unit with a valid ground Supply Path enters Amsterdam, NATO Player must roll a die: on a roll from 1 to 13, Netherlands surrenders.

3. In the event of Dutch surrender, Dutch Ground Units in General Supply stacked with or adjacent to a NATO Ground Combat Unit, and Dutch Air and Helicopter squadrons based with other NATO squadrons, become Free Dutch units and are not removed from play. Free Dutch units may use any valid Dutch or British Supply Source.

51.8 Norway Surrender

1. The first time a WP Combat Unit is in an Oslo City hex at the very beginning of Warsaw Pact Action Phase, in General Supply or able to trace a valid Supply Path to an undamaged Port under WP control, NATO Player must roll a die: on a roll of 1 to 6, Norway surrenders.

2. The first time all Norwegian Ports are under Warsaw Pact control at the very beginning of Warsaw Pact Action Phase, Norway surrenders.

51.9 Sweden Surrender

1. The first time the total losses for Swedish Combat Units equals or exceeds 25 Steps, NATO Player must roll a die: on a roll from 1 to 12, Sweden surrenders.

2. The first time all Swedish Ports are under Warsaw Pact control at the very beginning of Warsaw Pact Action Phase, Sweden surrenders.

51.10 Surrender Effects

The following rules are applied immediately in case of surrender of a NATO or previously neutral country:

1. Unless differently stated by specific national rules, all units of the surrendered country are removed from play.

2. NATO cannot trace a Supply Path through the surrendered country, except through hexes occupied by or in the ZOC of a friendly Combat Unit.

3. Warsaw Pact gains control of any Base inside the surrendered country and not occupied by a NATO unit.

4. NATO retains control of any Base inside the surrendered country and occupied by a NATO unit at the instant of Surrender.

5. NATO Air Squadrons in a Base no more under NATO control must be moved to the Used section of a valid Airfield.

6. NATO Helicopter Squadrons in a Base no longer under NATO control must be moved to any other valid Airfield or Heliport and cannot be used during the current Action Phase. Helicopter units unable to reach a valid Airfield / Heliport are eliminated.

7. Warsaw Pact may trace a Supply Path through the surrendered country, subject to the standard rules and limitations.

8. Warsaw Pact may use Bases inside the surrendered country, subject to the standard rules and limitations.

52. TENSION PERIOD

In some scenarios, Warsaw Pact may decide to initially build up its forces and declare war later. The following rules are in effect until Warsaw Pact starts hostilities:

1. No unit can enter Enemy or Neutral countries.

2. No unit can attack Enemy units or Installations.

3. Zones of Control do not extend beyond national borders.

4. Neither Player may attempt bridge demolition.

5. NATO Mobilisation begins at Turn 1 in any case.

6. Turn 0 and Turn 1 Movement rules are enforced even in the case of a delay in the start of hostilities.

53. TURN 0 MOVEMENT

The following rules simulate a minimum preparation period for both sides, should war erupt right from the start.

1. After Setup, WP Player may execute the following pre-war movements:

a. Soviet ground units may expend up to 20 Movement Points (10 MPs for Leg Infantry).

b. Soviet helicopter squadrons may move up to their maximum movement allowance. Helicopter squadrons may execute Transport missions with Soviet units as passengers.

c. Soviet naval units may expend up to their maximum movement allowance. Naval units may load / unload Soviet troops and cargo, and can be also be placed On Patrol with no MPs expenditure.

2. After Warsaw Pact Player has completed his Turn 0 Movement, NATO Player may execute the following pre-war movements:

a. US, British, Canadian and West German ground Units may expend up to 10 Movement Points (5 MPs for Leg Infantry).

b. Each NATO HQ and Special Forces unit may expend up to 10 MPs.

6

c. US, British, Canadian and West German helicopters squadrons may move up to their maximum movement allowance. Helicopter squadrons may transport Special Forces, US, British, West German or Canadian units as passengers.

d. Up to half of each NATO country’s naval units may move up to their maximum movement allowance. Naval units may load / unload US, British, Canadian or West German troops and cargo, and can be also be placed On Patrol with no MPs expenditure.

3. All the limitations for Tension Period are in effect during Turn 0 Movement.

4. Turn 0 Movement rules also applies to any country whose neutrality has been violated by Warsaw Pact during the current Turn. In this case, Turn 0 Movement is executed during the External Events Phase.

54. TURN 1 MOVEMENT

1. At the start of WP Movement Phase of Game Turn 1, all Warsaw Pact allies ground units are considered to have already expended 10 Movement Points to assemble and organize.

2. At the start of NATO Movement Phase of Game Turn 1, all NATO ground units except British, Canadian, US and West German ones are considered to have already expended 10 Movement Points to assemble and organize.

55. SURPRISE

Quick, unpopular decisions in time of emergency have never been

among the strength points of Western democracies. Moreover,

during decades of confrontation between the two blocs, several

high-tension periods happened, none of which erupted into open

war.

Several NATO top politician and officers might have thought that,

even this time, Cold War would not become hot, causing a

potentially fatal delay in the execution of NATO positioning and

mobilisation plans.

55.1 Turn 1 Surprise

If Warsaw Pact Player starts hostilities at Game Turn 1, the following additional rules apply:

1. During Turn 1, Warsaw Pact Player gains 2 additional Combat Modifiers in its favor in any Ground Combat, both in attack and defence.

2. During Turn 1 and when using Detailed Supply rules, all NATO units must use Embedded Supply only.

3. During Game Turn 1, all NATO SAM and ADA Flak Units have only 2 Flak Ammunition Points.

4. Surprise effects cease at the end of Game Turn 1.

55.2 Turn 2 Surprise

If Warsaw Pact starts hostilities at Game Turn 2, the following additional rule applies:

1. During Turn 2, Warsaw Pact gains 1 additional Combat Modifier in its favor in any Ground Combat, both in attack and defence.

55.3 Subsequent Turns Surprise

If Warsaw Pact starts hostilities after Turn 2, there are no additional effects due to surprise.

56. SWEDISH PILOTS ASSASSINATION

As unbelievable as it may seem, at the height of Cold War Soviet

Military Intelligence Directorate (GRU) conceived a plan for

assassinating Swedish Air Force pilots.

During the ‘80s, GRU operatives posing as Polish dealers contacted

several Swedish pilots in order to gather information about their

residence and habits. GRU forces infiltrated by submarine would

have assassinated the targets before the start of hostilities.

1. After announcing the violation of Swedish neutrality during the External Events Phase, WP Player may attempt to assassinate Swedish pilots.

2. WP Player rolls a die and consult the following table:

Die Roll Result

1 – 2 Half of Swedish aircraft are selected randomly and placed in the “used” slot of their base.

4 – 10 One third of Swedish aircraft are selected randomly and placed in the “used” slot of their base.

11 – 20 GRU operatives are neutralized by Swedish counterintelligence. No Effect.

57. SWEDISH ASSETS

1. If Warsaw Pact violates Swedish neutrality, apply the following effects:

a. NATO Player immediately receives one additional Naval Surveillance and one additional ASW Surveillance counter.

b. NATO Air Intercept Modifier for any Megahex completely or partially in Sweden territory is increased by 4 (i.e., a -2 Intercept Modifier becomes +2).

2. Should Sweden surrender, all the effects listed above are immediately cancelled.

58. SWEDISH INTERVENTION

During Cold War, Sweden was often labelled as a “Secret NATO

Member”, with several of its war plans presuming a close

cooperation with NATO and forward deploying of troops and aircraft

into Finland. Therefore, Sweden’s role in a global conflict could be

more active than expected even when its neutrality is not directly

violated.

1. Apart from a direct attack by Warsaw Pact, Swedish Mobilisation can also be triggered in the following cases:

a. During the External Events Phase of the first Turn of war, NATO Player rolls a die: on a result of 1 to 10, Sweden mobilizes.

b. If Warsaw Pact violates Finnish neutrality, NATO Player rolls a die: on a result of 1 to 14, Sweden mobilizes.

c. If cases a and b happen at the same time, a single roll is made using case b.

2. Should Sweden mobilise while still neutral, the following additional rules apply:

a. NATO Value on Finland Front is increased by 10.

b. Swedish ground and air units can be moved by NATO Player, but cannot leave Swedish territory.

c. Swedish naval units can be moved by NATO Player, but cannot engage in hostile activities against Warsaw Pact. Minesweeping a Swedish coastal hex is not considered a hostile activity.

d. Should Warsaw Pact place an Air Superiority Marker over a Megahex that includes Swedish territory, NATO Player may commit up to one Swedish Air Squadron to that Air Superiority Area.

e. During Air Superiority Combat, WP Player may choose to voluntarily abort any Squadron facing a Swedish Squadron. If WP Player decides to abort, both Squadrons are returned to a valid Base. If WP Player decides to fight, Sweden enters the war and joins NATO at all effects.

7

59. FESTUNG BERLIN

1. French Berlin Brigade may stack with NATO Combat Unit of any other nationality.

2. NATO Berlin garrison Units add 1 to their Combat Modifiers when defending in a West Berlin hex.

60. CIVILIAN PANIC

1. During the first Turn of war, Road Mode movement cannot be used in West Germany East of river Rhine.

2. During the first Turn of war, Autobahn movement in West Germany East of river Rhine costs 2 movement points in Tactical Mode.

3. During the first Turn of war, Autobahn movement in West Germany West of river Rhine costs 1 movement point in Road Mode, and 2 movement points in Tactical Mode.

61. ESCALATION TO WAR

Warsaw Pact Player does not have to declare beforehand the exact

timing of the offensive. He may choose a surprise attack right at

Game Turn 1, or a long build up period forfeiting any level of

surprise.

1. At the beginning of the campaign, no state of war exists between NATO and Warsaw Pact; both sides must move within the restriction of Tension Period rules (See 48.0).

2. During the Mobilization Phase of any Turn, Warsaw Pact Player may start hostilities simply by stating it.

3. After the start of hostilities, Tension Period rules and limitations are no more in effect.

4. For each two Turns spent without Warsaw Pact starting the hostilities, the game length is extended by one Turn.

62. SLEEPER CELLS

Several extreme left revolutionary movements were active in

Western Europe in the ‘80s: West German Rote Armee Fraktion,

French Action Directe and Italian Brigate Rosse are the most

relevant examples. Most of these terrorist armed groups were

secretly financed and trained by Soviet Union. In case of war

between NATO and Warsaw Pact, they would have been reinforced

by sleeper cells of Soviet Spetnaz and used for sabotage actions in

NATO rear areas.

During the Special Forces Raid Phase of the first Turn of war only, Warsaw Pact Player may execute up to 3 Sleeper Cell Assaults.

Sleeper Cell Assaults have the following prerequisites:

1. The target hex must be in France, Italy or West Germany.

2. No hex can be assaulted more than once.

Sleeper Cell Assaults are resolved by using the following sequence:

3. Warsaw Pact Player declares a Sleeper Cell Assault and its target hex.

4. Warsaw Pact Player inspects NATO Units in the target hex. If the hex contains a Combat or Special Forces Unit, the Sleeper Cell members are killed, and the assault fails.

5. If the target hex contains no Combat or Special Forces Units, Warsaw Pact Player rolls a die on the 1 column of the Special Forces Assault Table and applies the result, using the standard Special Forces Raid rules (See 37.3).

63. CONUS Convoys

In case of war, a large part of USN sea transport would have been

organized in escorted convoys and assigned to sealifting troops,

equipment and supply from US East coast to Europe. These

Convoys are handled by this rule. NATO Commander could also

decide to use CONUS Convoys for other operations, at the cost of

slowing down US reinforcements to Europe.

1. A CONUS Convoy is a Naval Squadron, subject to the standard rules used by naval units.

2. A CONUS Convoy has the following values:

Description Undamaged Value

Damaged Value

Movement Points 12 12

Troop Transport 3 2

Supply Transport 9 5

Toughness 12 12

Air Defence A A

Missile Defence B B

Gun Combat 6 6

Missile Combat 4 4

ASW Combat 8 8

3. CONUS Convoys can be represented by Fuel markers. A Fuel 2 Marker represent an undamaged CONUS Convoy, and a Fuel 1 marker a damaged one.

4. At the beginning of NATO Action Phase, two damaged CONUS Convoys in the same Off-map Base or Port can be combined into a single, undamaged one.

63.1 CONUS Supplies

1. Starting from Turn 5 of war, replenishment of Embedded, Flak and Artillery Ammunition for NATO units is no more automatically granted.

2. In order to fully replenish the ammunition allotment of his units during the End Phase, NATO Player must fulfil all the following conditions:

a. NATO must have at least 6 steps of CONUS Convoys in one or more North Atlantic Transit Box (i.e., any Transit Box labelled “North Atl.”).

b. The designated CONUS Convoys must have no cargo loaded.

3. Should NATO Player fail to fulfil the above conditions, the following limitations are enforced:

a. Each NATO Flak unit using Flak Ammo may receive a maximum of 2 Flak Ammo Points.

b. Each NATO Artillery unit may receive a maximum of 2 Ammo Points.

c. Any Other NATO unit using Ammunition Points may receive a maximum of 1 Embedded Ammo Point.

4. CONUS Supplies limitations do not apply to units of the following nationalities: Austria, Finland, France and Sweden.

64. VICTORY

Victory in a 1985: Mutual Assured Destruction campaign is measured on two different levels, Political and Military. Smaller scenarios only use Military Victory and have their own specific Victory Conditions.

1. A Political victory is the primary and most important objective for each side. Both Players calculate their Political Points (PP) total and check for a Political Victory using the Political Victory rules.

2. If no one obtained a Political Victory, both Players calculate their Military Points total and check for a Military Victory using the Military Victory rules.

3. At any time during the game, Players may agree to stop the game and check for a Political or Military Victory.

64.1 Political Victory

To determine Political Victory, use the following sequence:

8

1. Each Player consults the Political Points Table to determine his total number of PPs.

2. NATO total PPs are subtracted from Warsaw Pact total PPs, and the net result is found on the Political Victory Table for the Scenario being played.

3. If no Player obtains a Political Victory, check for a Military Victory.

Warsaw Pact Political Victory Points

For each surrendered NATO country 10 PPs

Sweden surrendered 10 PPs

Finland surrendered 4 PPs

Iceland conquered 3 PPs

No WP countries mobilization declared 3 PPs

No revolts successfully started in WP countries 4 PPs

For each US brigade eliminated (division counts as 3 brigades)

2 PPs

For each UK, WG brigade eliminated (division counts as 3 brigades)

1 PP

For each WP division in General Supply on the West bank of river Rhine

5 PPs

NATO first use of Nuclear Weapons 12 PPs

All DE, WG Ports under WP control 10 PPs

Each Port under WP Control in Norway 2 PPs

Each Port under WP control in Denmark 1 PP

For each step loss on NATO CVBG, CV 2 PPs

For each step loss on CONUS Convoy 1 PP

Each step loss on US or UK air squadrons 1 PP

Each Nuclear Attack on City or Urban hex -6 PPs

Each Chemical Attack on City or Urban hex -3 PPs

NATO Political Victory Points

For each WP country government overthrown 15 PPs

For each WP country where a Revolt started 8 PPs

For each WP country with a Revolt marker 10 PPs

For each WP country where NATO has Combat Units with a valid ground Supply Path

6 PPs

WP first use of Chemical Weapons 4 PPs

WP first use of Nuclear Weapons 10 PPs

Iceland Secured 3 PPs

NATO Combat units in West Berlin 1 PP

No Ports in Denmark under WP control 5 PPs

No Ports in Norway under WP control 5 PPs

For each Nuclear Attack on City or Urban hex -10 PPs

For each Chemical Attack on City or Urban hex -5 PPs

64.2 Military Victory

If no Political Victory was obtained, Players may check for a more traditional Military Victory. A Military Victory gives no assurance about what will happen in the near future; it only measures the achievements of each side from a strictly military point of view.

1. Military Points (MPs) are gained by controlling City, Urban, Port and Airfield hexes.

2. Certain strategic locations give bonus MPs, in addition to the standard MPs awarded for the hexes composing them.

3. Certain geographical objectives not located in a single hex give bonus MPs to one side or the other.

4. In order to count for a Player’s MP total, a hex must meet all the following requirements:

a. The hex must have been conquered; in other words, the hex must have not been under that Player control at the beginning of the game. A hex is conquered if a friendly unit was the last to occupy it or pass through it.

b. The hex must be outside of enemy ZOCs (friendly units negate enemy ZOCs for purpose of this rule).

c. The hex must be able to trace a Supply Path of any length to a valid Supply Source or to a friendly-controlled, undamaged Port or Airfield.

5. To gain the bonus MPs for a strategic location comprising more than one hex, every single City (or urban if there is no city) hex of the location must meet the above requirements.

6. Each scenario lists specific conditions giving additional Military Points to either side.

7. Specific External Events (see 25.0) may give additional Military Points to either side.

To determine Military Victory, use the following sequence:

8. Each Player determines his total number of MPs.

9. NATO total MPs are subtracted from Warsaw Pact total MPs, and the net result is found on the Military Victory Table for the scenario being played.

Campaign 1 – To Shatter the Old World On July 24, 1985, the fragile peace between Eastern and Western blocs, maintained for decades by the nightmare of a global nuclear war, finally collapsed. The conflict that followed involved millions of men using the most lethal and accurate weapons ever devised, and despite its relative shortness reached a level of brutality comparable to the worst moments of First World War’s trench warfare.

Despite all this, a final glimpse of reason or maybe sheer luck avoided the dreaded conclusion of a strategic nuclear exchange between NATO and Warsaw Pact.

Much has been written about the causes of Third World War, with each analysis arriving at different conclusions: Soviet aggressiveness, US Imperialism, Communist Bloc economic crisis, Western Europe weakness, Eastern Europe internal dissent, and more.

69.1 Additional Rules

All the additional rules described in this booklet are used.

69.2 Victory Conditions

1. Check for a Political Victory using the Political Victory rules (see 64.1) and the following table:

PPs Diff. Result

110 or more WP Decisive Victory

NATO is on the brink of dissolution, with several members starting separate peace talks with Moscow.

Warsaw Pact governments renew their promises of everlasting Socialist solidarity and mutual assistance under the infallible leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

90 - 109 WP Substantial Victory

NATO is under accusation for the high losses sustained, and the inability to halt the Communist aggression. Several Western governments request to begin talks for a ceasefire.

Warsaw Pact governments renew their commitment to the Socialist Cause and look at Moscow for guidance and protection.

70 – 89 WP Marginal Victory

Several Western governments raise questions about the possibility for NATO to sustain the high attrition rate in both equipment and personnel for more than a few weeks. Secret talks for a ceasefire begin at Zurich.

Warsaw Pact governments are able to keep the internal dissent under control and reassert their

friendship with Soviet Union, but demand a political solution to the conflict as soon as possible.

40 - 69 No Political Victory. Determine Military Victory.

20 - 39 NATO Substantial Victory

NATO resists the impact, and US industry starts converting to war production.

Warsaw Pact governments face unrest and open revolts, forcing several member countries to reconsider their position toward war. A formal request to begin peace talks with NATO is forwarded to the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

19 or less NATO Decisive Victory

NATO successfully contains the Communist onslaught, limiting its own losses to acceptable level for the member countries.

Warsaw Pact governments are shaken by revolts and unrest, with Soviet Union unable to suppress them in a timely manner. Several member countries begin separate secret talks with NATO for a safe exit from Warsaw Pact.

2. If no Player obtained a Political Victory, check for a Military Victory using the Military Victory rules (see 64.2) and the following table:

MPs Diff. Result

860 or more WP Substantial Victory

Warsaw Pact advanced deeply into NATO territory and demonstrated its military apparatus is still to be feared.

# Name Entry Areas

305 East England WE1:2

306 Central England N2:5 WE1:3

14

NATO failed to obtain its declared objective of protecting the territorial integrity of its member countries.

630 – 859 WP Marginal Victory
