GMT Games' The Guerrilla Generation takes the acclaimed COIN Series and reimagines it in a format that's faster, more approachable, and easier to get to the table. Instead of one massive campaign, players get four separate conflicts—Peru, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Uruguay—each offering a unique asymmetrical experience while retaining the core mechanics that have made COIN games a favorite among serious board gamers and wargamers.
In this video, we take a look at what makes The Guerrilla Generation different from classic COIN titles like A Distant Plain and Liberty or Death, why the new "COIN Lite" approach may attract new players, and how GMT Games is evolving one of the most respected board game systems in modern wargaming. If you're interested in historical board games, counterinsurgency games, strategy games, or GMT's COIN Series, this overview will help you decide whether The Guerrilla Generation belongs on your table.

The Guerrilla Generation: Cold War Insurgencies in Latin America is the second COIN multipack, containing four separate games exploring a series of thematically related insurgencies. Building on the The British Way, this new multipack allows players to explore variations in insurgent groups’ organizational structures, strategies, and relationship with civilians, across four insurgencies in Central and South America between 1968 and 1992. During this part of the Cold War era, Latin America experienced an incredible number of different insurgent groups, many inspired by the Cuban Revolution featured in Cuba Libre, ranging from popular backed rural insurgencies, flexible urban guerrillas, externally sponsored raiders, and brutal ideologically rigid groups. This multipack features a game exemplifying each of these types of insurgencies, to offer players the chance to compare different approaches to rebellion. The four games included in the multipack cover conflicts in Uruguay (1968-1972), Nicaragua (1979-1990), El Salvador (1979-1992), and Peru (1980-1992). The Nicaragua and El Salvador games can also be played in a linked campaign scenario, which combines them into a simultaneous side-by-side experience.
