Overview
Donau Front: Ardennes of the ‘90s: The Bavarian Option in the Next War, is the second game in the renewed Central Front series of games which include: North German Plain, BAOR, Fifth Corps, and Hof Gap. Maps from all of the renewed series games may be linked and rules exist for a full Campaign game. Donau Front was first published in Strategy & Tactics magazine #131. The games are designed to depict hypothetical Warsaw Pact versus NATO conflict during the first five days of a future war. Victory is measured by the PACT player's attainment of certain objectives, and the NATO player's denial of these. Objectives range from advancing to a specific hex row, to occupying Munich. Four different objective types exist, so it is possible for both players to "win". Rules are provided to link this game with Hof Gap.
