World At War 85 Core Rules v2.2 Rev87 Spiral Bound Manual
The Printed Edition
The rules live as a PDF that keeps getting updated. This is that PDF at revision 87, printed and spiral bound.
Core Rules v2.2 is the platoon-level system behind every World At War 85 game. Formation deck activation, five things a unit can do in an impulse, and the full weight of modern combat underneath it, from armour saves and reactive armour to artillery-delivered mines, night targeting checks and thermal imaging.
Why Have It on Paper
The Living Rules PDF and this book hold the same rules. What the printed edition gives you is something that sits on the table, opens flat, and stays open at the terrain chart while both your hands are busy. It also gives owners of the older boxes a current hard copy without buying a new game to get one.
What Is In It
A full glossary and index, designer and development notes, and the reference material you actually reach for. Sequence of play, terrain effects, direct fire modifiers, indirect fire summaries, national unit tables, artillery and weather tracks, line of sight examples and a master die roll reference.
World At War 85 Core Rules v2.2 Rev87 is the printed spiral bound edition of the system that runs the whole World At War 85 series.
