Panjshir '82 2022

Command bands of Mujahideen fighters in the infamous Panjshir valley during the Soviet-Afghan war. Raise your warband's fighting ability as they seek to accomplish their objectives within the valley and evade patrolling companies of USSR units.

This is not a wargame in of the traditional hex & counter style: there are limited units on the board and a wide range of dynamic encounters that will make each session unfold differently. The goal is to evoke the aesthetic and feel of the 1979-1989 conflict in Afghanistan.

An asymmetric single-player table-top wargame, two player-controlled Mujahideen bands roam a hexed valley attempting to amass the ‘Combat Power’ necessary to undertake two risky ‘Critical Strikes’ – the significant actions that presage game-ending withdrawals. Most of the time it’s in your interest to avoid the five Soviet companies that also wander the map. These formidable foes patrol randomly, but will bee-line towards player units in response to certain random encounters and battle results.
