Ice War

Ice War is a board wargame published by Metagaming Concepts in 1978 that hypothesizes a Eurasian attack against American oilfields in Alaska.

Ice War is a two-player game of arctic warfare involving a raid by the Eurasian Socialist Alliance on Alaskan oil fields at Prudhoe Bay.

"[2] Don Turnbull reviewed Ice War for White Dwarf #15, giving it an overall rating of 5 out of 10, and stated that "Excellent though the idea is, I can't help feeling that this subject would be better handled in a larger, more expansive (and expensive) format.

"[3] In a retrospective review in Issue 35 of Warning Order, Matt Irsik called the game "Definitely a product of the Cold War era."

He concluded, "Although it seems dated today, at the time it was a fun game that saw the Russian force trying to remain hidden for as long as possible, followed by a series of sharp engagements that determined the winner.
