About Berlin '85: The Enemy at the Gates
Berlin '85: The Enemy at the Gates is an operational level simulation of a hypothetical attempt by the Warsaw Pact to seize the city of West Berlin within the context of a general conventional East-West war. The playing pieces represent the actual units which could conceivably become involved. The game map represents the actual terrain of Berlin and East Ger-many over which such a battle would be fought. The two players (NATO and Warsaw Pact) maneuver their units across the map and conduct combat according to the rules of play. Victory is determined at the end of Game-Turn 16 or when-ever the Warsaw Pact Player achieves control of the city (whichever comes first). Originally published in Strategy & Tactics magazine #79 - March/April 1980.
