About the game
"NATO, Nukes & Nazis: The Lutwaffe Strikes!", published by XTR inside the issue #10 of his "Command" wargaming magazine, is an expansion for the alternative-history simulation wargame "NATO, Nukes & Nazis". In this variant the German economy of the "NNN" world did better during the 1980's than what was first postulated in the original wargame: this resulted in greatly increased production of tactical aircraft types, which in turn will dramatically increase the German offensive potential making it, in some ways, similar to that employed in the 1940 BlitzKrieg against Holland, Belgium and France. 13 new Nazis' counters: - 9 Tac Air - 4 Helicopters
