Order of Battle: Burma Road - Campaign Diary!
With the upcoming release of Burma Road DLC for Order of Battle, we wanted to take a moment to fill you in on what's been developed by The Artistocrats in association with Demon Wings Interactive.
Order of Battle is returning to the war against Japan in the region of Southeast Asia. Many battles were across the Malaya Peninsula, India, and of course Burma as the Japanese sought to acquire war materiel such as oil and rubber while the British and Allied forces stood against them.
Unlike the island hopping campaign of the United States across the Pacific, the Southeast Asian conflict was coloured primarily by ground warfare. Such warfare was markedly different from the land war of Europe and Afrika as dense jungles were ever present and presented a major obstacle for both sides. That's not to say the entire campaign consists of skulking through the jungles of Burma, battles such as the action at Imphal in 1944 were sizeable affairs fought with many armoured units engaged in major fighting.
One very important campaign tenant is the concept of presenting degrees of success in almost every battle. Because of the nature of a game like this, where...

Maneuver Warfare: A Wargamer's Notebook - Schwerpunkt - An Argentine Commando Fire Team and the Simplest Focus of Effort
Montoneros de mierda, the young Lieutenant from the 602 Commando Company thought as he pondered through his limited options. Second day of Operation Suncho Huayco and the progress is way too short of expectations. Originally intended to dismantle a vast network of drug traffickers, the operation has run into a nasty surprise: leftist guerrillas with the willingness to come back from their dubious past, have been armed to the teeth by the bottomless cash coffers of the criminal cartels.
3 Km north of Villa Padre Monti, Tucuman, Argentina.
The concept of Schwerpunkt is the second filter (out of three, the third was discussed in this blog post way back in 2010) of the Maneuver Warfare framework proposed by William Lind in his Maneuver Warfare Handbook. The translation of this term is "point of main effort" and is frequently confused with a physical location. It turns out that maneuver leaders often designate a unit as the schwerpunkt (i.e. 3th Company is the point of main effort) and all other units support the former.
The most comprehensive and...

About This Game
The years after WWII saw rapidly increasing tensions between the US and USSR, as each walked a fine line between expanding their power while avoiding nuclear war. By the early 1960's, the US had clearly pulled ahead in strategic capabilities with a much superior long-range ICBM force. Though the US public was led to believe otherwise (the so called "missile gap"), the leaders of the USSR knew how weak their hand really was.
Enter Operation Anadyr, Secretary Khrushchev's plan to place Soviet nuclear MRBM's in Cuba in October 1962. It was a risky move. But, if successful, much of the Eastern US would have been placed within reach of Soviet nuclear attack. In one quick step, the Soviets would have leapt the gap, and gained an unstoppable strategic threat against the United States.
Against the backdrop of imminent nuclear catastrophe, the young new American President simply couldn't ignore the threat.
Grab that Scotch!
