Air & Armor: Würzburg, Designer Signature Edition

Air & Armor: Würzburg, Designer Signature Edition is a deep operational wargame of hypothetical Cold War combat in West Germany. Set in the mid-1980s, it recreates a major Warsaw Pact attack around the German city of Würzburg, with Soviet, East German, American and West German forces clashing in a high-intensity armored battle.

This Compass Games edition is well suited to players who enjoy detailed modern warfare simulations with command friction, hidden information and combined-arms decision-making. The game covers reconnaissance, armor, artillery, helicopters, air power, engineering, chemical warfare and electronic warfare, giving players a demanding but rewarding picture of what a division-level battle in Cold War Europe might have looked like.

The Designer Signature Edition updates the classic title with new map artwork, new counters, revised unit values, updated rules and a revised order of battle based on later research. Players can begin with the Basic Game, focused on armored operations, or move into the Advanced Game for the full range of air, engineering, chemical and electronic warfare rules.

For customers at Boardgamegeneral looking for a serious Cold War operational wargame from Compass Games, Air & Armor: Würzburg offers a rich, scenario-driven experience with strong replay value and plenty of room for planning, deception and battlefield surprise.
