WAR IN THE WIND: The Battle for Attu Island, May 1943
1-COM1028
War in the Wind is a low-to-moderate complexity game (roughly eight pages of rules) depicting the brutal combat and conditions on Attu. The design focuses on the challenges faced by the American forces in the form of extremely variable weather conditions and logistical hurdles posed by nearly insurmountable terrain. The Japanese must use these conditions to their advantage in order to survive the overwhelming American numbers. In addition to the campaign game covering the entire battle, War in the Wind also includes three smaller scenarios focusing on separate phases of the battle. Includes 1 map, 1 countersheet of 9/16 inch counters, 1 rulebook, 2 charts and tables cards, 6 ten-sided dice.
