The Doomsday Project ep. 1 - The Battle for Germany

Although the World War Three scenario of NATO versus the Warsaw Pact never happened, it is a mainstay of the wargaming tables.

The Doomsday Project is a subseries of the Operational Scale System (OSS) featuring wars that never happened, and the first game in the series, The Battle for Germany, features the fight that could have happened in Germany. Chemical weapons, including tactical nuclear attacks and politics – as well as all the forces that were stationed in the region in 1985.
The conflict starts while sides, and most notably the United States, were reequipping their forces with many new weapons joining the line. The process had started but is not yet completed, and spans over 5 scenarios.

The Doomsday Project ep. 1 : The Battle for Germany is designed to be highly playable and to be completed in far shorter a time that is common for this size game. Low counter density and a concentration on conceptual complexity is the focus of this series. While still mechanically simple, The Doomsday Project integrates all the necessary rules to cover this theater and period.
