The British Way: Counterinsurgency at the End of the Empire
The British Way is the first of many COIN multi-packs, which contain four separate games that explore a range of thematically related insurgencies. Between 1945 and 1960, the British fought four major “emergencies”, as their campaigns to deal with insurgencies were described, each attempting to manage their retreat from empire. The four games in this pack focus on exploring British counterinsurgency responses against a variety of different opponents, including communist insurgents in Malaysia, militant nationalists in Kenya and smaller, more clandestine terrorist organizations in Palestine and Cyprus.
The games adapt the core COIN mechanics to provide an exciting new way of handling two-player conflicts, while also streamlining several mechanics to speed up play. The British Way offers an accessible introduction to the COIN series for new players, while also presenting experienced players with four mechanically distinct games to explore and compare.
Highlights:
*Four complete games in one box: Explore four different conflicts that take place during the twilight of the British Empire in the 1940s and 1950s. Each game uses a unique set of rules based on the same general mechanical framework, ensuring that they are easy to learn while also offering a distinct experience.
*A new adaptation of the classic COIN system: Improved turn sequence for two players and a flexible political will track for determining victory.
*Unique mechanisms that reflect the British approach to each conflict: in Kenya, curfew in Cyprus and mass detention in Palestine.
*Small board size with fast but deep gameplay: Each game is played in less than 90 minutes and takes place on a single board 17×22″.
*A campaign “End of Empire”: A campaign scenario that allows players to play the four games in a connected series with a cumulative scoring system, random “external” events related to British decolonization and new mechanisms to integrate each game into the campaign.
