AGAINST THE ODDS 2017 ANNUAL: Six Days of War

1-ATO2017

Wargame covers the 1967 war between Israel and an Arab coalition. The game begins
with a Strategic Segment of card play and counter-play as each side adjusts its
diplomatic standing and 'war footing' and shifts unit positions on the map. Random
Events can vary from nothing important to forced actions, including withdrawal of UN
peacekeepers, Jordan declaring war, and other events to the benefit of one player or
another...or perhaps neither player will like.

Eventually the war will break out and players will have to jockey for initiative
and conduct combat operations, all while knowing the UN could call for a cease-fire
at any time. Medium complexity and playing time of up to three to four hours.

Also includes a historically based scenario that makes for a faster beginning
(no preliminary card play) and serves as an excellent solo game.

Components: One full color 22x34-inch mapsheet, 288 full-color die-cut counters,
66 cards, 20 pages of rules, and two pages of charts and tables.

Also comes with a magazine full of historical articles.

Bonus Items Inside: All copies include an expansion kit for the solitaire game,
Strange Victory (wargame covering France 1940 invasion published in 2015 Annual) plus
additional cards for Die Atombombe -- card game pitting various Nazi departments against each
other in race to develop an Atomic Bomb (published in ATO Issue 50).

Note: OMM carries Against the Odds back issues. OMM # ATO050 for ATO Issue 50.
