📖 About This Game

Desert War is an expansion variant to Up Front. Some of the scenarios and nationalities alluded to herein are found only in the latter. Just as Banzai provided a new environment and more nationalities for Up Front players, Desert War provides a new theatre for the skirmishes of existing nationalities as well as intriguing new hand capacities and nationality traits.
