About this expansion

The Sands of War: Expansion Kit is a two-player expansion for The Sands of War, featuring tactical combat in the Middle East from 1941 through 1991. Designed for a 120-minute play time, it was released in 1992 by GDW.

This expansion broadens the original game with additional maps, counters, and scenarios covering a wide historical span. Its battles range from World War II through Desert Storm, offering new situations set across several decades of Middle Eastern conflict.

The kit includes four 11×17-inch geomorphic mapsheets, providing new map material for the game. It also adds more than 350 counters and an 11×17-inch campaign map, substantially expanding the physical contents of the base game.

  • Four 11×17-inch geomorphic mapsheets
  • Over 350 counters
  • One 11×17-inch campaign map
  • Eight new scenarios

The eight scenarios represent battles from World War II through Desert Storm, giving players additional historical engagements to explore. Together, these additions extend the tactical combat experience and increase the range of battles available in The Sands of War.

The Sands of War: Expansion Kit requires the original The Sands of War and is intended for two players. With its large collection of new components and historically varied scenarios, it is a substantial addition for players seeking more content for GDW’s Middle East tactical combat game.
