We do a first look and overview of '85 Afghanistan, Graveyard of Empires, the new wargame (board game) from Flying Pig Games and designed by Mark H. Walker. This 1- to 2-player tactical wargame is set in 1985 Afghanistan, where Soviet forces clash with Afghani Mujahideen. We also do a first look of the solitaire module for the game: Alone in the Mountains.
