About the Game

America's last Vietnam Battle - Linebacker II - the historic B-52 attacks against North Vietnam that brought (temporary) peace and got the American POWs home. A fascinating air campaign simulation!

Playable as either a 2-player contest or SOLO against a "system" (for either side), one side plays the US forces charged with executing the American President's campaign to bring the North Vietnamese back to the conference table, while the other plays TWO adversaries - the North Vietnamese AND the SAC Command staff in Omaha! Game play is organized by raid wave and combat is conducted for each attacking support sortie or cell of B-52s by each SAM battalion. Wild Weasel, Iron Hand, chaff, ECM, MiGCAP, AAA, and GCI are all modeled in a realistic sim of this complex campaign.

134 minis including aircraft, SAMs, AAA - 22x34 campaign map - mission planning, event cards, attack wave layouts, SAM engagement board, airbase cards, rulebook, dice, roundels, counters, chips and more.
