## Description
In 'Armour under the Midnight Sun', you command a Swedish armored battalion in 1968, defending the road to Gällivare against a Soviet tank regiment. This solitaire hex-and-counter wargame plunges you into a hypothetical Cold War conflict in northern Scandinavia. With streamlined mechanics and minimal bookkeeping, you'll make tactical decisions across three consecutive battles - Pajala, Tärendö, and Ullatti - where each choice impacts later stages. The Swedes rely on combined arms tactics while the Soviets bank on raw tank power. The print & play game includes area maps, unit chits, and a D6 die. Ideal for fans of niche historical scenarios who want quick but strategic solo play.
