Description:

Wargame 2 is the next in a series of games, so far, it was been precended
by 3 sucessful games. It is a hard game to get used to, the individual
takes charge of a nation and either leads it to a total world domination
through a great military prescence and superb economic skill, both of
these attributes are needed to win the game otherwise the players risk
annhilation. This wargame is set in modern times, yet the use of nuclear
weapons is prohibited because of the "lack of fun" scenario. Also instead
of a huge variety of military weapons, ships tanks etc, there are
relatively few to allow for a simple, less time consuming game, leaving
much more time for the strategy, diplomacy and politics this game delves
into.

As a leader you command an army, a nation a population, but lead that set
into difficult times continously and you will find it is your head in the
noose as the wargame series has a "morale" pact. If the leader fails his
nation and his morale drops below the low limit, a coup will uproot him,
although he is free to try inanother nation.

This is a game of intense power shifts and hardcore domination, where
sometimes the will of the omniscient United Nations security council is
ignored for a interesting......more violent path:)
