{"product_id":"drive-on-damascus","title":"Drive on Damascus","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Drive on Damascus\" recreates the one major campaign between the Allies and Vichy France during World War II. It is an operational wargame recreating on the battalion level the Allied invasion of Syria and Lebanon in June 1941. This game has been built around two basic situations: the historical invasion and a hypothetical one, covering the chance of German intervention. In both cases it remains a two player wargame with each player alternately moving his pieces and resolving combat in succession. Whilst the game reproduces the situation that faced the historical commanders, the outcome will depend upon the decisions taken by players; it is perfectly possible to change the course of history.\n\nDrive on Damascus uses a peculiar hexagon grid game map in which only the central dot of each hex is depicted.\nBritish forces try to preempt an attack from the Vichy French staged in Syria in 1941.\n\nThis wargame can be run as part of a campaign with O'Connor's Offensive, Hellfire Pass and Bloody Keren (which is where the campaign rules are to be found).\n\nPublished 1981, in The Wargamer Magazine issue #15\n\n\nRe-implements:\n\n     Syria, 1941\n\n\nGame Scale:\nGame Turn: 1 day\nHex: 3.2 miles \/ 5.15 kilometers\nUnits: Company to Battalion\n\nGame Inventory:\nOne 23 x 32\" full color mapsheet\nOne single-side printed countersheet (260 1\/2\" counters)\nOne 12-page Drive on Damascus rulebook (in magazine)\nPlayer will have to provide one 6-sided dice\n\nSolitaire Playability: Medium\nComplexity Level: Medium\nPlayers: 2 or more\nPlaying Time: 4-15 hours\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 1500 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.67 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vance von Borries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1981\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"3W (World Wide Wargames)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51926587211992,"sku":"SB-8E13E5473474-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\/2dwbp3zph3n2e5d0ga7560uhgw0m.jpg?v=1785462068","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/drive-on-damascus","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
