About the Game

Strike Force One is an easy-to-use, two-player board-wargame designed to introduce the concept of "Conflict Simulations."

Designed as an introductory game to be given away at conventions and as a promotional item, the game consisted of a folder with map, a Strenght Point based Combat Results Table, a small countersheet (with 10 units) and rules. Also provided was a complete turn-by-turn sample game.

The game is a hypothetical meeting of U.S. and Soviet forces in West Germany. To win, the Soviet player must occupy two of the three town hexes in four turns, otherwise the U.S. player wins.

The Second edition of this game, published in 2007 by Victory Point Games, is the first game in their BATTLESSON (TM) series. The listed expansion is for this edition of the game.

This game came free with Nicholas Palmer's book The Comprehensive Guide to Board Wargaming published in 1977 by Hippocrene Books, Inc., New York, N.Y.
