Millennium Wars is a series of six standalone games: Iraq, Chechnya, Ukraine, Korea, America, and Air War. Each comes in a box the size of a large paperback, and each has the same format: a standard rulebook, charts, a map, a variety of counters, and a scenario book with special rules pertaining to individual conflicts.

The rules, strategic level with an operational flavor, along with the flexible system applied to a series of modern flashpoint battles, offer a gaming experience of tremendous depth. The sheer variety of units, ranging from peacekeepers to "cyber-cadres," adds to the enormous fun of these tiny packages. Air War even further enhances the others in the series by rewriting the standard air warfare rules. When did you last defeat such formidable foes in a game that fits into your planner?
