The Doomsday Project: Episode One – The Battle for Germany

The Doomsday Project: Episode One – The Battle for Germany is an operational Cold War wargame covering a hypothetical NATO vs Warsaw Pact conflict in Germany in 1985.

Part of the Operational Scale System, this game focuses on the central front of the war that never happened. Players command divisional, brigade, and regiment-level forces across Germany, with rules for chemical weapons, tactical nuclear strikes, politics, and the shifting military balance of the mid-1980s.

The system aims for high playability with low counter density and manageable mechanics, while still capturing the major pressures of modern operational warfare. It is more complex than Korea: Fire and Ice, but remains focused on fast, playable large-scale conflict.

With four scenarios and strong solitaire suitability, this is a strong fit for players interested in Cold War gone-hot settings, operational maneuver, and the opening chapter of a larger World War III series.

Contents include: three 22” x 34” maps, four countersheets, seven player aids, charts and displays, one rulebook, one scenario book, two six-sided dice, two 10-sided dice, and a box with lid.
