Urban Operations: Second Edition is a game that simulates modern tactical combat in a range of historical and hypothetical urban settings. It uses unique mechanics for chain of command, logistical support, collateral damage and close-quarters combat resolution. Blocks for units and concealed (face-down) elements of the board capture the fog of war.

The game was initially developed as a training tool for France's National Centre of Excellence for Urban Warfare Training. It will appeal to anyone interested in learning and applying modern urban combat fighting techniques, and re-creating the action from the 16 scenarios in the game, including:

Mogadishu (1993) - six scenarios of Western units battling Somali militia
Fulda (1985) - six scenarios of a hypothetical WW3 battle between Soviet and NATO forces
Other single scenario settings including USMC in Fallujah (2004), the British in Basra (2003), and the Russians in Grozny (1999).
