<p style="top:328.5pt;left:45.0pt">As the year 1989 begins, the Cold War between the United States </p>
<p style="top:343.5pt;left:45.0pt">and the Soviet Union is drawing to a close. For forty years the </p>
<p style="top:358.5pt;left:45.0pt">continent of Europe has been divided by an iron curtain separating </p>
<p style="top:373.5pt;left:45.0pt">East and West. Now the new Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev </p>
<p style="top:388.5pt;left:45.0pt">has launched a program of reforms—glasnost (“openness”) and </p>
<p style="top:403.5pt;left:45.0pt">perestroika (“restructuring”)—in an attempt to revitalize socialism. </p>
<p style="top:418.5pt;left:45.0pt">He has also announced unilateral arms reductions that are wildly </p>
<p style="top:433.5pt;left:45.0pt">popular in the West. The long twilight struggle between the two </p>
<p style="top:448.5pt;left:45.0pt">superpowers is finally coming to an end.</p>
<p style="top:472.5pt;left:45.0pt">These changes are not popular with everyone, however. For the </p>
<p style="top:487.5pt;left:45.0pt">Communists of Eastern Europe, the force of Soviet arms has always </p>
<p style="top:502.5pt;left:45.0pt">protected them from the rebellions of their own people. Now the </p>
<p style="top:517.5pt;left:45.0pt">Eastern European Communists are on their own.</p>
<p style="top:541.5pt;left:45.0pt">At the start of 1989, the political situation in Eastern Europe ap­</p>
<p style="top:556.5pt;left:45.0pt">pears normal. As they have for decades, a small power elite (acting </p>
<p style="top:571.5pt;left:45.0pt">through a massive bureaucracy) retains unquestioned power in each </p>
<p style="top:586.5pt;left:45.0pt">country. However, beneath the surface, there are signs of decay. The </p>
<p style="top:601.5pt;left:45.0pt">inefficiencies of the command economy, the end of Soviet subsidies, </p>
<p style="top:616.5pt;left:45.0pt">and the debt accrued through heavy borrowing from Western banks </p>
<p style="top:631.5pt;left:45.0pt">have brought the economies of Eastern Europe to various stages </p>
<p style="top:646.5pt;left:45.0pt">of crisis. In a classic pre-revolutionary situation, the Communists </p>
<p style="top:661.5pt;left:45.0pt">have begun to doubt their own legitimacy to rule. </p>
<p style="top:685.5pt;left:45.0pt">In <i>1989: Dawn of Freedom,</i> the players will recreate the momentous </p>
<p style="top:700.5pt;left:45.0pt">revolutions of 1989. One player is the Communist. He will need to </p>
<p style="top:715.5pt;left:45.0pt">use a wise combination of crackdowns, concessions and reforms </p>
<p style="top:730.5pt;left:45.0pt">to try to hold on to power. The other player is the Democrat. He </p>
<p style="top:745.5pt;left:45.0pt">will try to use the leadership of the intellectuals and the street </p>
<p style="top:760.5pt;left:45.0pt">protests of the students to generate a critical mass of opposition to </p>
<p style="top:775.5pt;left:45.0pt">the regimes in order to launch a revolution. Both players will try to </p>
<p style="top:790.5pt;left:45.0pt">swing the workers to their side. At the start of the game, the Com­</p>
<p style="top:805.5pt;left:45.0pt">munist holds power in each country. The Democrat will attempt to </p>
<p style="top:820.5pt;left:45.0pt">topple the Communist from power through resolution of scoring </p>
<p style="top:835.5pt;left:45.0pt">cards. The longer the Communist retains power in a country, the </p>
<p style="top:850.5pt;left:45.0pt">more points he scores. The player most successful in advancing </p>
<p style="top:865.5pt;left:45.0pt">his cause wins the game.</p>

<p style="top:332.1pt;left:56.2pt">he controls more Battleground spaces in that country than his </p>

<p style="top:499.8pt;left:56.2pt"><b>PURPOSE:</b> To reduce opponent Support in a country, and </p>

<p style="top:529.8pt;left:56.2pt">cessful enough.</p>

<p style="top:568.8pt;left:56.2pt">gives two Support Checks to the Phasing Player, regardless of </p>
<p style="top:583.8pt;left:56.2pt">the card’s Operations value. The player must resolve the first </p>
<p style="top:598.8pt;left:56.2pt">Support Check before declaring the next target.</p>

<p style="top:637.8pt;left:56.2pt">the space must have opponent SPs. </p>
<p style="top:661.8pt;left:56.2pt"><b>RESOLUTION:</b> Multiply the Stability Number of the target </p>
<p style="top:676.8pt;left:56.2pt">space by two (x2). Then roll a die, and add the Ops value of </p>
<p style="top:691.8pt;left:56.2pt">the card played to the die roll plus any DRMs as listed below. </p>

<p style="top:736.8pt;left:56.2pt">removes opposing SPs equal to the difference from the target </p>
<p style="top:751.8pt;left:56.2pt">space. If there are insufficient opposing SPs to remove, add </p>
