📖 About This Game
Burma, 1942-45 is an operational-scale game using brigades and battalions. Play moves in stops and starts as supply and the monsoon may limit operations. The rugged terrain and tenuous supply lines result in a game of maneuver and logistics that players must manage to gain victory. The Japanese can infiltrate the Allied lines while the Allied can release long-range patrols in the Japanese rear, creating havoc. Both sides must attack to get anywhere, while the Allied player must build the Burma Road through to China.
2025 Updated graphics (featuring a mounted game map) and all errata are incorporated in this new edition.
