The British Way, 2nd printing

The British Way is one of the most accessible introductions to GMT's acclaimed COIN (Counterinsurgency) series. Designed by Stephen Rangazas, the box contains four complete standalone games covering Britain's major counterinsurgency campaigns during the final years of the British Empire between 1945 and 1960.

Unlike traditional COIN titles, each game is specifically designed for two players, streamlining several mechanisms while preserving the political and military decisions that define the series.

The four campaigns cover:

• Palestine (1945–1948)
• Malaya (1948–1960)
• Kenya – Mau Mau Emergency (1952–1960)
• Cyprus (1955–1959)

Each campaign features its own historical events, special rules and strategic challenges, illustrating the evolution of British counterinsurgency doctrine across the final years of the Empire.

The Second Printing includes:

• an updated Cyprus game;
• the addition of Faction Personas;
• all known errata corrected;
• updated rulebooks and campaign booklet.

The games can also be linked together through a full Campaign Game, allowing players to experience Britain's changing strategic approach across all four emergencies.
