ORIGINAL 1960’s video clip:

ICE STATION ZEBRA: ARTIC THRILLER Is a Wargame & Spy-Game of the classic Cold War film of ALISTAIR MACLEAN’s Suspense Novel. The plot is BASED ON HISTORICAL EVENTS… (& some aspects not yet declassified.) Fight a desperate struggle of “Wits-&-Weapons” on a “runaway ice-cap” with “NUKE-SUB-crash-dives”, Spetznatz, Paratroopers, US Marines, MI-6, CIA & KGB Agents… while Jet fighters & Bombers up the stakes… A conflict of TOTAL “World War 3 BRINKSMANSHIP.” *& oh YES! YOU could singlehandedly “END the COLD WAR!” … & uhhh … also maybe: “Start WORLD WAR THREE!” (Let’s Please Try Not To.) You get a team, an assignment & a “SECRET SEALED ENVELOPE” - But, TRUST NO ONE! Game uses 20mm figs, 1/144 planes, ships and “Your Best Wits!”

Special Note: Time of Play is “Sudden Death” Tho’ Listed as 2 hours +/- The FallIn’24 game ended in Phase-6 @ 90 minutes, with a point-blank fire-fight & US Strategic Victory (mostly due to “uncanny spy-ops.”) But, ANYTHING Could happen. Using RANGER-RULES! Special Ops & Espionage by Pete Panzeri. SPONSORED BY THE MINIATURE BUILDING AUTHORITY & BRIGADE GAMES. PLEASE GO VISIT our Sponsors & THANK THEM!
