{"product_id":"battle-for-basra","title":"Battle for Basra","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Battle for Basra\" is a free introductory board-wargame, using GDW's First Battle game system, which was given away in the early 90s at conventions and in game shops.\n\nThe game simulates a hypothetical attack in and around Basra, Iraq during the First Gulf War.  One player commands the U.S. 24th Mechanized Division, the other player, the Iraqi Republican Guard.\n\nAs an introductory game, with a small map and fewer than 50 counters, the objective is simple... the U.S. player must exit seven out of his initial ten units from the east edge of the map within six turns or the Iraqi player wins.\n\nAn historical commentary is also provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.60 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Frank Chadwick, Lester Smith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1991\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Game Designers' Workshop (GDW Games)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51926088122584,"sku":"SB-6122C4BDFAEE-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/jdfvs9xu88r5a22pg5lewmrg01aj.jpg?v=1785459578","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/battle-for-basra","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
