Description: This listing is for a single copy of the war game publication Operation Whirlwind: The Soviet Invasion of Hungary 1956, published in 2002 by Minigame Design Group. This item is in like new condition and contains all pages and counters needed, unpunched and un-played. October-November 1956: The Communist government of Hungary has fallen. The newly inaugurated president Imre Nagy declares an end to the one-party system and threatens to declare neutrality and pull out of the Warsaw Pact. The Soviet Union cannot tolerate this defection and launches "Operation Whirlwind" - military intervention in Hungary to restore order, culminating in a desperate battle in the streets of Budapest. The game scale uses 8 hours per turn and units are roughly platoon to regiment scale. The 11 x 17" map features an area movement map of downtown Budapest, at a scale of 300 yards to the inch. Besides Hungarian insurgents and Soviet Army troops, optional forces include Soviet paratroops, US Special Forces teams and the 101st Airborne Division. The original 2002 Microgame Design Group edition had 280 unmounted counters, which had to be mounted to make 140 double-sided ones. - - - WELCOME TO OUR EBAY STORE!We are a Table-top game store located in Wilmington, North Carolina with a wide selection of Board Games, Card Games, RPGs, Miniatures, and more!We ship out any orders next day, Monday-Friday.
