About the Game:
This is a BRPG digital game conversion of the long-out-of-print [urlx=http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/586/up-front]"Up Front" card game[/urlx], by Courtney F. Allen (originally published by Avalon Hill in 1983). "Up Front" is a card game that is loosely based on Avalon Hill's Squad Leader series of wargames. This digital conversion includes not only the basic Up Front game, but also the components from the "Banzai" and "Desert War" expansions, so you will be able to play any of the seven nationalities (Germans, Americans, Russians, Japanese, British, French, and Italians) covered in these games.

Each card and counter represents an individual soldier, weapon, vehicle, or piece of equipment.
Estimated Playing Time:
About 1 hour (use of VOIP is highly recommended for online games)
