Catalogue Description

Guerilla warfare, people's armies, wars of "liberation" . . . someplace in the world today, a campaign of Insurgency occurs. Set in a fictional province, somewhere, any¬where, this game lets the government and insurgents compete for local loyalties using companies and platoons of troops, cadres, bases, even economic improvement pro¬grams. You conduct a series of campaigns, simultaneously maneuvering forces and setting ambushes. Infiltration, control of key roads, pitched battles, even foreign sanctuaries and terrorist acts can play a role. Optional rules allow up to ten to play, introducing personality conflicts and obscure political motives. Insurgency comes handsomely boxed with a colorful 21.5 by 27.5” map, die-cut counters, and a rule book with basic and optional games, as well as comprehensive background notes on how this game simulates the truly universal rules of guerilla warfare.
