About

Introducing the third installment in the acclaimed Squad Battles series: 95’ The Years of Sorrow (TYOS). Mark H. Walker’s Squad Battles series of titles has taken gamers from science fiction skirmishes to the jungles of Vietnam to the deserts of Afghanistan, and now with 95’ The Years of Sorrow, it transports players to the battlefields of Europe. Experience squad-level warfare like never before. Delve into the tumultuous decades following the fall of the Berlin Wall, where history did not end but instead ushered in a new era of conflict and strife. Building upon the beloved mechanics of its predecessors, Night of Man, '65 Squad Battles in the Jungles of Vietnam and 85’ Graveyard of Empires, The Years of Sorrow (TYOS) immerses players in the intense struggles of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. With its award-winning card-driven, hex and counter game system, TYOS brings tactical depth and strategic decision-making to every encounter.

From commanding infantry squads to maneuvering heavy armor like the T-80 and M1A1 Abrams, players will navigate a vast array of units across meticulously detailed battlefields. Experience the clashes between major world powers like the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, against formidable adversaries such as Russia/Soviet Union, the Panamanian Defense Forces, Serb Militias, and Chechen insurgents. Dive into historical scenarios set in Panama, Bosnia (including Operation Bøllebank ), Chechnya, and alternate history scenarios that explore the consequences of a different outcome to pivotal events set in West Berlin, and Kosovo (The Pristina Stand-off), and others. Do you have the skill and strategy to endure the Years of Sorrow and emerge victorious amidst the chaos of war?
