The game system uses a card-driven system first introduced in Brief Border Wars that models the chaotic, stop-and-start nature of these impromptu wars. Four sets of exclusive rules reflect the peculiar nature of each conflict. Your sense of improvisation will be challenged as you explore four of the more interesting small wars fought in the early 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four conflicts include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1913: Second Balkan War (also known as “The Interallied War”) - Bulgaria vs Romania and Ottoman forces.\u003cbr\u003e1919: The Seven-Day War (also known as “Teschen”): Czechoslovakia and Poland fight for the Duchy of Teschen (Cieszyn in Polish).\u003cbr\u003e1939: The Nomonhan Incident (also known as “The Battle of Khalkin Gol”) - Japan and the Soviet Union clash in Mongolia.\u003cbr\u003e1940: The Italo-Greek War (also known as “The Balkan Defiance”) - The first two months of the Italian invasion of Greece in the fall\/winter of 1940.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese games are ideal short matches to finish off an evening of gaming, or fill a lunch hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct information\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplexity: 4 out of 10\u003cbr\u003eSolitaire Suitability: 5 out of 10\u003cbr\u003eTime Scale: variable (1 day to 1 week per turn)\u003cbr\u003eMap Scale: variable (area movement)\u003cbr\u003eUnit Scale: variable (paramilitary “groups” to divisions)\u003cbr\u003ePlayers: 1-2 (best with 2)\u003cbr\u003ePlaying Time: 1-2 hours each\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-description from publisher's website\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Compass Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44243528613939,"sku":"1193 CG1177","price":74.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/files\/pic7088560.jpg?v=1777601487","url":"https:\/\/www.boardgamebliss.com\/products\/brief-border-wars-ii","provider":"Board Game Bliss","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
