The four games in this pack focus on exploring British counterinsurgent responses to a variety of different opponents, including: Communist insurgents in Malaya Militant nationalists in Kenya Clandestine terrorist organizations in Palestine and Cyprus The games adjust the core COIN mechanics to provide a new way of handling two-player conflicts, while also streamlining several mechanics to quicken gameplay.
