Twilight Struggle

Let the bugle summon us once more, not to fight with weapons, even though they are needed; not to enter a battle, despite being surrounded - but to carry the weight of a prolonged war that darkens the horizon..." - John F. Kennedy. EXPERIENCE HISTORY UNFOLDING Twilight Struggle immerses the player at the heart of the prolonged struggle between the U.S and U.S.S.R - known as the Cold War - that went from the 1950s to the 1990s.
