1985: Sacred Oil - First Map


The maps for the last chapter of the 1985 saga are taking form....Some details are still missing and exact colors are still to be defined, but you should get the idea :)

The operational maps will cover from USSR - Iran Border to Hormuz Strait, and from Baghdad to Eastern Iran. The strategic map will include every other strategic area, from Afghanistan to Turkey NATO bases and Diego Garcia.

Here's a first preview of the USSR - Iran border sector, including Tehran:

And in case you've missed it, here's the box art!

    1. Thanks! BTW, the box will be our first with an horizontal layout....the picture was simply too beautiful for cropping it in a "standard" vertical box!

    1. We'll probably have a 1985DNL reprint somewhere in 2021 :)

  4. No Mediterranean Sea? OK.... Looks like you will retain the naval aspect. That is great, I love it in DNL.

    PLEASE KEEP the map colors so that we can differentiate between terrain types, unlike DNL - Artic Clear/Clear, etc. The ones above here look good.

  6. Ciao Fabrizio !

    I hope you are doing fine up there in Europe. Adding to the other colleague´s comments, I would dare to suggest to keep the "Portrait" orientation in the box, so they can look extra-cool all 3 together.

    By the way: “final instalment”? … JA … NO WAY ! We ALL know there will be a final-final instalment, in the form of a upgraded, down-to-single-warhead accurate, 1985 historically correct, mega-death toll counter, version of First Strike:

    Deep in your heart, you know it is the only way to end this madness!

    All the best from South America.

  7. Hello Fabrizio,
    Will you be using 'Kickstarter' for this project, or your usual 'list' if interested people?
    Cheers

    1. I hate kickstarters :)
      We will move with the usual "reserved copies" list :)
