Price of Freedom: Roleplaying in Occupied America
 |
In The Price of Freedom¸ you play an American who chooses to resist the Communist occupiers. You must find the weapons and leadership to resist effectively. The invaders have absolute nuclear supremacy; regular military opposition is impossible. The only way they can be defeated is to make the occupation of America so costly that they must withdraw.
But remember; no occupied nation has ever liberated itself without outside help.
And we have no one to help us.
The fate of America is in your hands.
