Next War: India-Pakistan

A near-future conventional and limited-nuclear conflict over Jammu & Kashmir and the adjacent Punjab plains. Players command brigade- and division-level ground forces plus air squadrons, managing movement, combat, air superiority, strikes, and reinforcements on a hex map at roughly 7.5 miles per hex. Turns include weather determination, initiative and air/naval phases, special operations and strike phases (in the Advanced Game), movement/combat sequences, and arrival of reinforcements. Combat factors unit attack/defense, efficiency, terrain and attrition; optional rules allow tactical nuclear strikes that can affect international intervention. Multiple scenarios range from short engagements to full campaign play.
