Toe-to-Toe Nu’klr Combat with the Rooskies

About this board game

Toe-to-Toe Nu’klr Combat with the Rooskies is a fast-playing solitaire game for 1 player, with a mission playable in about 15 minutes. Take command of a B-52, carry two H-bombs, and fly across the Soviet Union while attempting to reach your primary target.

The “Go Code” has been received and the war plan decoded. You decide the payload, pick your targets, and guide your aircraft across “The Big Board,” with each turn representing approximately 30 minutes. Your crew is looking to you for leadership as the fate of America—and even the world—rests on your mission.

Soviet defenses will challenge your progress. SAMs and Soviet air defense fighter/interceptors can find you as you cross Soviet air space, while events relentlessly dog you and your crew. A single mission can be completed in about 15 minutes, while the whole campaign game can take an hour.

• Four scenarios, with Advanced Rules included
• A color “Big Board” game map with flight controls
