Decapitation 2003

Subtitled "Hunt And Kill The Evil Dictator".

From the Background section of the rulebook:

"This is a fictional fantasy scenario where a very powerful nation wishes to 'decapitate a regime' (this is the technical term for political assassination). This is a highly detailed simulation and not 'battleships in Baghdad' at all. Most definitely not."

"The forces of good, Freedonia, led by President George W Hackenbush - being democratic cannot simply fire a nuclear weapon at the capital city of their enemy - they must use precision guided munitions and bombs to seek out the corrupt and evil Dictator they seek to ‘neutralise’. These weapons are expensive so the bill will mount up. They must also avoid civilian casualties."

"If the campaign to decapitate the regime fails to do so before a certain time has elapsed (see Ground War below), or the civilian deathtoll reaches 2,500 or the PR damage reaches 50 - Freedonia will have failed to achieve victory and the game ends."

"Play is on two gridded maps of the Capital City - Badmum. Some grid squares contain headquarter buildings, Presidential Palaces and the like - other contain Ancient monuments, hotels, embassies and residential districts."
