We do a first look and overview of '85 Afghanistan, Graveyard of Empires, the new wargame (board game) from Flying Pig Games and designed by Mark H. Walker. This 1- to 2-player tactical wargame is set in 1985 Afghanistan, where Soviet forces clash with Afghani Mujahideen. We also do a first look of the solitaire module for the game: Alone in the Mountains.

About '85 Afghanistan: Graveyard of Empires, from BoardGameGeek:

'85 Graveyard of Empires is the second game in the Squad Battles series. Building on the mechanics introduced in '65 Squad Battles in the Jungles of Vietnam, Graveyard of Empires (GOE) features squad-level battles between the Afghan Mujahideen and Soviet Red Army in a card-driven, hex and counter game. GOE introduces card-activated events, immersive helicopter rules, more tactical decisions, new powers and abilities, and beautiful counter and game board art. The counters are 1” or larger (for the vehicles) and the game board hexes are huge. Included are counters for Mujahideen RPG and RPD teams, rifle squads and heroes, as well as captured T-55 and BMP armored fighting vehicles. The Soviets respond with Spetsnaz, line rifle squads, heroes, Hind-24 attack helicopters and several types of AFVs, such T-55, T-62 tanks, BNPs, BTRs, and more. -description from the designer
