“There’s a gap in military history magazines”, said Dr. Cummins, “There is no publication covering just the last 40 years. Military history did not end after the Vietnam War. No magazine focuses only on recent and current conflicts. No magazine shows you what might happen tomorrow – until now. Modern War: Military History in the Making will fill that gap.”
Players control actual and hypothetical combat units utilizing a wide range of technologies and forces to gain objectives. Modern Battles includes two games: Kaliningrad, covering a hypothetical Russian clash with NATO forces at the Russian Baltic Fleet forward base, and Mosul, a clash between ISIS and Coalition forces in Iraq. There are two players in each game, commanding opposing forces. Both games use a main body of shared rules, and each also has its own scenario special instructions.
