Features: Air missions with combat, transportation, EWDA and ferrying; Naval operations with carriers, subs, surface, missiles, gunnery and aircraft; Land missions fight dug-in defenses, with supply, engineers, air defense and artillery units. Very high complexity.

This was not a stand-alone game but an update. It included Operational Mapsheet D, 130 Counters & 16-page Rules update. The company later re-issued the game with a box which incorporated all the updated material.

There was a "Gulf Strike / Desert Storm" Variant with Counters in "The General" magazine Vol. 26 # 6. The same variant was included in the 3rd Edition publication of the game.

An important note regarding Avalon Hill games - It was not unusual for Avalon Hill to re-publish most of their games with 2nd, 3rd or more Editions. Sometimes the game components changed, sometimes they didn't. If your game components do not correspond exactly with what is listed, do not despair. You may just have to do a little more checking to insure its completeness.
