Produktbeschreibung
Brigade Combat Team Kandahar is a modern wargame that examines the
capabilities and challenges of the conflict in Afghanistan between the
coalition and Taliban. The game is designed around Joseph Miranda's Joint
Ops Staff Card engine. Planning is critical as each player selects the Joint
Operations cards he or she will play each turn. Each Joint Ops card played
provides the player a specific capability, including Administration,
Logistics, CIMIC, and Communication. Units engage in combat, provincial
reconstruction, and intelligence operations. Command-control limits how
players form their operational plans and coordinate large unit formations.
Each side has a focused set of objectives unknown to the other side that
create the doctrine and requirements for achieving victory.
The coalition player has the daunting task of conducting a
counter-insurgency campaign in a country with no infrastructure, cohesive
culture, or trust for centralized authority. The insurgent player has fewer
assets and capabilities than the coalition, but must merely keep the
teetering government off balance if it can't topple it altogether. Each side
conducts operations to counter the efforts of the opposing side, but both
must be mindful of the third side - the Afghani population. The Taliban and
western forces must prosecute their strategies without alienating the
indigenous people.
