? I checked my copy and the map samples for this challenge are NOT
on the operational maps in box (I have 3 and the Strategic map is
compatible with them). The best I can tell, the samples are west of
the western edges of Operational Maps A&B. Was there a 2nd edition
that with a 4th operational map covering most of Iraq?

I remember seeing a version in a store ca. 1993 - 94 marked as including
a Desert Storm expansion with the game. Never bought it, but I would
assume that it included extended operational maps covering the bulk of
Iraq as well as counters for the forces historically employed in the 1st
Gulf War.

I have a separate _Desert Shield_ expansion module for Gulf Strike,
but it doesn't have a map ... getting package out and looking
through it ... does say 2nd edition of _Gulf Strike_ is necessary
.... checking scenario instructions ... "map D from 2nd edition used
extensively" and Iraqi victory hexes include Bagdad and other
cities not on Maps A&B.
