Moreover, Fatal Alliances focuses on the major technological changes the war brought on, on land, at sea, and in the air.

China is in turmoil, and could potentially join either side. Japan is nominally an Ally, but Japanese expansionism is already at odds with the interests of other Allied powers.

As the game begins, the defense of Vitebsk, a Byelorussian fortified city located just a few hexes beyond the southeast corner of the playing surface, has just collapsed. 1st Baltic Front is advancing westward through the shredded German line, and will soon threaten all of Army Group North with encirclement. Finally, after four months of fierce battle, the Red Army will win the great prize of this campaign, Riga, and pocket the enemy in the Courland region of Latvia.</p> <p><em>Baltic Gap</em> allows players to explore this interesting campaign from a variety of historical and hypothetical vantage points. Long campaign games can be enjoyed by up to five players. Several short scenarios are also provided, and these work best with a single player per side.</p> <p><em>Baltic Gap</em> is the 11th wargame in the award winning <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/wiki/page/Operational_Combat_System#">Operational Combat System</a> (“OCS”). It stays true to the ground breaking earlier games in the system that allow players a deeper glimpse into why the skills and behaviors of the two sides were so very different.
