The British Way: Enemy of My Enemy

The British Way: Enemy of My Enemy is an expansion for The British Way, including two entirely new games on “prequel” conflicts using the Malaya and Palestine maps and expanding the base game experience with new variants for all four conflicts originally covered.

The British Way: Japanese Occupation puts the British and the Malayan Communist Party (MCP) on the same side in their efforts to resist the Japanese occupation of Malaya during World War II.

The British Way: Arab Revolt allows players to explore the brutal suppression of the Arab Revolt (1936-1939) that preceded the Jewish insurgency covered by the original Palestine game.

The two new games involve entirely new mechanics to capture the unique features of each conflict and can each be linked to the original Palestine and Malaya games, which also allows them to feed into the “End of Empire” Campaign Scenario. The two new games in the expansion allow players to explore how British attempts to combat earlier threats to colonial rule involved collaborating with local armed groups that they would later end up fighting against (Jewish paramilitary groups in Palestine and the MCP in Malaya), ironically strengthening and preparing these groups for two of the conflicts featured in the The British Way.

Highlights

• Two full games in one expansion: Explore two entirely new games, reusing the maps and wooden components from the base game but otherwise completely mechanically distinct from Palestine and Malaya. As with all multipack games, these two new games will include their own Pre-War Option Tables and Faction Personas, and they can also be played as prequels to their companion games from the original multipack.
• New variant rules and components for each of the four original games: New rules for Lehi in Palestine, Jungle Bases and SAS in Malaya, Detention and Leaders in Kenya, and TMT/Volkan (Turkish insurgents) in Cyprus.
• New player aids for the InsideGMT “Advanced Cyprus” and “Faction Persona” variants: Updated materials for those owning the original 2023 printing of The British Way.
