You control your Faction’s space program, outposts, and fleets spanning across the solar system, although you will also have some influence over your Faction’s politics back home on Earth as space development becomes more important.

- Fulda Gap: The Battle for the Center (new from Compass Games)
Volume I of the Company Scale System (CSS) covering the outbreak of the Cold War in Europe. Stopping the possibility of a Soviet advance against NATO required some of the highest skilled troops to defend far forward in West Germany to prevent the vital industry and population from falling into Soviet hands. This was the task of the 11th Cavalry Regiment - the famed Black Horse Regiment - in the area well known as the Fulda Gap. The Fulda Gap was a break in the defensively favorable terrain that channeled advance directly towards the main American bases in West Germany. It was vital that this be held as long as possible.
