All Bridges Burning

In 1917, the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II plunged Russia into turmoil. On the western edge of the collapsing empire, Finland saw an opportunity to achieve long-desired national independence. Yet competing political movements failed to agree on a common vision for the country's future. By January 1918, Finland was engulfed in a brutal civil war.

All Bridges Burning recreates the political and military struggle of the Finnish Civil War using GMT's acclaimed COIN (Counter-Insurgency) system.
