About this game

In this solitaire game, players take the American role against Hussein in the liberation of Kuwait. The campaign’s ultimate outcome is not in doubt, of course, but winning the game is not easy. To win, the player must better the historical result, which saw the US VII Corps chew up 4,600 armored vehicles and 10 divisions in four days, while taking only 239 casualties.

Mechanism

Solitaire

Rules

The player activates one unit at a time for one of three types of possible attacks that must be coordinated with artillery and air strikes. The right combination can blow a hole in the Iraqi line and roll up a flank in a single turn. Losses to friendly fire are possible, and the game engine will attack an exposed flank. Managing the flow of supplies is critical.
