Description

Please note that this is a DTP (Desk Top Publishing) game designed on a desktop computer and all components, including the counters which will have to be cut and mounted, are printed on paper. These are designed by some very well-known designers and are a low cost alternative to today’s professionally produced games. On rare occasions, some of these games are reproduced by other companies with higher quality components including die-cut counters but most of them are not. If you believe this game to have a professionally produced version, please contact us with your inquiry and we will help you to locate it if it does indeed exist.

Operation Whirlwind is a historical game on street battles between Hungarian rebels and Soviet invaders in November 1956. The game scale uses 8 hours per turn and units are roughly platoon to regiment scale.

The 11 x 17″ map features an area movement map of downtown Budapest. The 140 back-printed counters show Hungarian insurgents and Soviet troops. Optional forces include extra Soviet forces, US Special Forces teams and the 101st Airborne Division, jumping into battle!
