The First Afghan War is a two-player simulation of the British (1839-42) march on Kabul to establish a satellite kingdom.  While initially victorious, the British and Indian force became trapped in Kabul by an uprising.  The attempt to retreat to India resulted in the destruction of the Army of the Indus.  Organizational as well as tactical capabilities are required to win.  Along with a great variety of weapon types, supply, leadership, and the meddling of the Home Office are featured.  The game includes two scenarios (March to Kabul and Rebellion & Revolution).  Each strength point represents 200 to 250 men (or two companies).  Each artillery strength point represents one battery (4 to 8 guns).  

Game Designer: Joseph Miranda.  Published March\April 1996 by Decision Games (DG).
