Immerse yourself in the Fifth Frontier War with The ICS Papers, a deep dive into the conflict's strategies and tactics through academic analysis and real-world case studies, now adapted for Fantasy Grounds virtual tabletop.
The Fifth Frontier War: The ICS Papers
The Institute for Conflict Studies, or ICS, is an independent academic body whose works are ratified by several major Imperial and non-Imperial universities. It is widely believed that some ICS staff are pseudonyms used by academics employed by the major universities or serving military personnel who cannot write under their own names.The ICS publishes papers on all aspects of conflict, most recently on the Fifth Frontier War. The Fifth Frontier War appears to be following a similar pattern to most other conflicts of the modern era, and once the conflict began, big-picture decisions influenced smaller-scale actions all across the theatre of war, and to a lesser extent vice versa.
These ICS Papers analyse the conditions of the Fifth Frontier War, considering:
- System Defence Doctrine
- Orbital Denial
- Orbital Bombardment and Defence
- Planetary Warfare Doctrine
- Contrasts: Ground Force Organisation And Doctrine
- Infantry Operations In The Fifth Frontier War
- Urban Warfare
