A tactical study of riot making and breaking. Like many tactical games, this was a somewhat generic and open-ended design. The game had 12 scenarios with a variety of unusual situations (including one for the Warsaw Rising of 1944, two 3-player scenarios, and a Chicago 1968 campaign game), but the basic situation was that of police squaring off against a group of rioters, trying to disperse them (or, in the case of the 3- player scenarios, keep the warring factions apart).

Published in Strategist 294 (September 1996), newsletter of the Strategy Gaining Society, with a very nice graphic treatment by the editor of Vimulacrum. Copies may still be available from Editor George Phillies. A very, very limited nuiriber of machine-cut mounted counters were produced by society faithful Richard Gutenkunst. Yes, I did this one.
