A Line in the Sand*
A game that details the Persian Gulf War of the early 1990s features mechanisms similar to other war games by TSR. Players take on sides, typically a mix of Middle Eastern nations and the USA, with outcomes depending on military power or diplomatic maneuvers.
Two versions are available: a base game for fewer players focusing on military strength and a more complex diplomacy version for six players. The gameplay includes combat involving land, sea, and air units, while diplomacy adds layers of strategy and unpredictability. Players can also send messages through a diplomatic bag system, and victory conditions vary based on objectives drawn before the game starts.
