It uses unique mechanics for chain of command, logistical support, collateral damage and close-quarters combat resolution.

It will appeal to anyone interested in learning and applying modern urban combat fighting techniques, and re-creating the action from the 16 scenarios in the game, including: Mogadishu (1993) - six scenarios of Western units battling Somali militia Fulda (1985) - six scenarios of a hypothetical WW3 battle between Soviet and NATO forces Other single scenario settings including USMC in Fallujah (2004), the British in Basra (2003), and the Russians in Grozny (1999). The Second Edition has the following changes: New player aids Clarification of key rules and all errata incorporated into a new rulebook Updates to boards and maps to improve 3D effects and ease of line of sight assessments New advanced rules for Combined Combat actions Various other minor improvements to playability New scenarios for easier initiation involving only one section on each side.
