New PBM game: Balance of Power [ commercial modern wargame ] From: lindahl@rt.com (Greg Lindahl) Date: Sat, 15 Feb 1997 00:00:00 +0000 Name: Balance of Power [ commercial modern wargame ] Type: strategic wargame Duration: 25-40 turns Frequency: once every 3 weeks GM: mixed Costs: Cdn $4/turn, US approx $3.25/turn (receives exchange) Email: burkpm@hg.uleth.ca Keywords: commercial, closed-ended, snail, mixed, wargame, modern Last-Update: January 30, 1997 Description: Balance of Power features a smaller full-colour glossy map (75 hexes), simulataneous turn execution to simulate the `fog of war', combat, diplomacy, espionage, new technology research and development, trade, detailed units (literally hundreds of options), and a turn-by-turn computer created map update. The game starts with 20 countries, usually one per player, and ends when one player holds 11 capitals or 830 production points, or by the surrender of the remaining principles. Players start with pre-WW1 technology, but the possibilities for development are nearly infinite. No two countries are the same and every game is unique.
