About the Game

The British Way: Counterinsurgency at the End of Empire is the first of several COIN multipacks, containing four separate wargames exploring a series of thematically related insurgencies. Between 1945 and 1960, the British fought four major “emergencies”, as they referred to their counterinsurgency campaigns, each trying to manage their retreat from empire.

The four games in this pack focus on exploring British counterinsurgent responses to a variety of different opponents, including:

Communist insurgents in Malaya Militant nationalists in Kenya Clandestine terrorist organizations in Palestine and Cyprus

The games adjust the core COIN mechanics to provide a new way of handling two-player conflicts, while also streamlining several mechanics to quicken gameplay. The British Way offers an approachable introduction to the COIN series for new players, while presenting experienced players with four mechanically distinct games to explore and compare.
