Next War Poland 2nd Edition (engl.)

Description

Next War Poland 2nd Edition ist ein Expertenspiel. In einem von Konflikten geprägten Osteuropa steuern die Spieler militärische und politische Aktionen in einem komplexen Strategiespiel. Spannende Mechanismen wie Gebietskontrolle und Ressourcenmanagement fordern taktisches Geschick und strategische Planung.

Ukraine is engulfed in a protracted civil war, sustained by covert support from Russia and Western powers, making peace increasingly elusive. Meanwhile, escalating conflicts in Syria and the fight against Islamic extremism intensify the geopolitical rivalry between NATO and Russia. Tensions skyrocket following incidents of friendly fire, sanctions, and cyber warfare. As Turkey and Russia clash militarily, Russia decides to confront NATO directly by invading the Baltics and Poland. Belarus aligns with Russia, while NATO members respond with varying urgency. Europe once again faces the ominous rumble of armored columns and marching troops.

Next War: Poland, the fourth installment in GMT’s Next War Series, shifts the theater to Europe, simulating a near-future conflict as Russian and allied forces invade Poland and NATO mounts a response.

The map focuses on a portion of Poland, assuming Ukraine remains locked in civil war. Russia’s military is smaller than during the Cold War but benefits from improved training and equipment. The Baltics may succumb quickly, though their forces might resist and reinforce NATO’s defense. The frontline soon stabilizes in eastern Poland as the Russian 6th and 20th Armies advance. NATO counters with the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps and reinforcements from nations joining under Article 5. The critical question: Can NATO halt the Russian advance or will Poland fall?

Next War is designed for wargamers seeking a detailed exploration of modern warfare rather than a simple introduction. The Standard Game rules provide a relatively straightforward system, suitable for experienced players aiming for a quicker game. The Advanced Game offers deeper strategic control, especially over airpower, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each side. Campaign scenarios that incorporate optional rules create a “mini-monster” experience with immersive realism and complexity.
