About the game
Objective: Moscow is a land/sea/air game of the hypothetical invasion of the former U.S.S.R. in the late 1970s and at the end of the 20th century. The area depicted on the map covers from Paris to Turkey, to Iraq and central Asia, to China as far south as Peking, to Japan, Korea, and Alaska. In all, units of more than 30 nations are included. This is truly a 'World War' monster game set in Modern times. Several scenarios are postulated, including a NATO counteroffensive after a Soviet invasion of Western Europe, a Chinese invasion of Siberia, and an Iranian campaign of expansion in the Middle East. Scenarios taking place later postulate an alliance of the USA, a United Europe, Iran, China, and other countries joining for the conquest of the Soviet Union. Contains: 24 page rulebook; 1,200 colorful die cut cardboard playing pieces; four 22" x 34" hexagonal grid soft map sections; and various playing aids. This game came in a flat plastic pack or a 'detergent soap' sized box. An excellent solitaire as well as 3-player game.
