Box back description: "Delta Force -- The role-playing game of an elite anti-terrorist commando unit." "The terrorists strike without warning, without mercy, taking hostages, issuing their demands and threats. Shadowy organizations with such names as the PLO, Islamic Jihad and KGB seek to overthrow the West in sneak attacks of blood and terror." "But now, America strikes back with Delta Force." "Delta Force is the role-playing game of a fictional elite anti-terrorist commando unit based on the U.S. Special Forces Operational Detachment -- Delta. Whether it's an assault on a high-jacked 727 in Beirut, the rescue of POWs from a jungle camp or the destruction of a secret A-Bomb lab in the Lybian Desert, Delta Force is trained and equipped to fight the terrorists on their own ground -- and win!"
