       The Final War series of games simulates the Third World War that
       devastated the Earth of Gunnery Sergeant DeShane, which occurred
       during the period of 2060 to 2077 AD. When the series is
       finished the maps will cover the Earth from Novaya Zemlya, above
       the arctic circle, to the northern edge of the Antarctic
       continent. The Full Campaign Game will add the rules for
       production and cover the entire seventeen year conflict.
       Below are the games intended for the series:
       1. The Final War: The China-Korea-Japan Theater of Operations
       2. The Final War: The East Indian-Southeast Asian-Anzac Theater
       of Operations
       3. The Final War: The Alaskan-British Columbian-Washington
       Theater of Operations
       4. The Final War: The Greek-Israeli-Ethiopian Theater of
       Operations
       5. The Final War: The Quebecois Theater of Operations
       6. The Final War: The European Theater of Operations
       7. The Final War: The West Indian-Pakistani-Southwest Theater of
       Operations
       8. The Final War: Bringing It All Together
       The Final War series of games is played in turns, with each turn
       representing 1 month of real time. The game turn is composed of
       various Phases, which are further divided into Segments. Each
       Phase must be performed in the order listed. Some Phases and
       Segments are not performed in every scenario.
       The Intermediate and Advanced game rules greatly slow down the
       pace of the game and creates a great deal of record keeping. All
       record keeping required by the game is performed through the use
       of markers and separate record sheets.
       The Final War series of games uses the Stepped Learning (or
       S.L.) method of introducing the players to the rules of the
       game. This allows the players to gradually, and easily, absorb
       the game system while the progressing complexity of the rules
       attempt to accurately portray Industrial scale mechanized
       warfare.
       Due to the stepped construction of the rules, each scenario
       builds upon the rules presented in the preceding scenarios. It
       is STRONGLY recommended that the players play each scenario IN
       ORDER before advancing on to the more complex scenarios.
       Approached in this manner, The Final War series will become a
       much simpler gaming system to learn.
