Playing through Arctic Front once again. I'll compile photos later, but this time is a very different game. The Warsaw Pact got both clear weather and the strategic reserve, AND control of the Norwegian Sea from the get-go. Therefore, the whole map is in play this time.

Finland surrended after Turn 1, as expected. Northern Norway wilted quickly to the line where the Norwegian Sea Zone ends. NATO's primary hope is that Sweden can withstand the onslaught, but after Turn 4, it is already shaken.

Worse, the nuclear escalation track reached 3 at the end of Turn 4. It's hard to see how this doesn't end in a full strategic exchange before Turn 8.

I am very taken with this system. #HexesForever #frankchadwick #thirdworldwar #earthshatteringkaboom
