I've seen a few references to a Cold War version of IABSM being play tested, but I'm not sure if it's personal project or a new 'official' product. Anyone have more information on it? |

I'd buy it for that title alone! "I aint been burnt, blasted, chem'd, bio'd, nuked, sniped, riddled by AK's nor has my body greased the tracks of a T-55." |

I'm pretty sure it is to be an official product. The author should be along to confirm that soon. |

Assuming it is official, I guess you'll have to wait at least until after "Chain of Command" is published and maybe a few months after that. |

It's not being written by Rich, but will appear under the Toofatlardies "umbrella" as it were, so yes official, but a different author. It's still at the playtest stage though afaik – certainly not an imminent release yet. |

I ain't been whaaa

And what about the mythical "In the Buff" ECW rules? |

I'm glad I'm not the only one who keeps misreading the thread title that way. |

Don't worry it's not one of those infamous 1970s British comedy films. It would certainly need more boobies! It's nearing completion and is now in its 3rd version for playtesting with most of it having proved most robust. The latest game, a mass helicopter attack is here maximtomilan.blogspot.co.uk/. Still looking at a 2013 release with supporting info for the Central Front soon after. |

Great news and excellent game report and pictures of the mass helicopters. I turned up the volume expecting to hear "Ride of the Valkyries" :-) |

Any more news on this set of rules? The playtest battles look great! |
Gennorm | 22 Jan 2014 3:33 p.m. PST |
Yes! We went through it at Lard HQ on Monday – I should be able to post pictures tomorrow – and I'm making a few minor changes before sending it over to Rich for close scrutiny. Also, we have a title which won't be IABNM, to be revealed later. |
Mako11 | 22 Jan 2014 4:35 p.m. PST |
A shame about the title change, since I rather like that one. |
Gennorm | 23 Jan 2014 8:40 a.m. PST |
It had rather stuck but was always only a working title. We're keen to stress that it's not just IABSM3 with a few missiles but has differences throughout. |
Mako11 | 23 Jan 2014 3:35 p.m. PST |
I look forward to its availability, and more info, upon release. |

It's now Jan 2015 – any news? |
Armiesarmy | 06 Jan 2015 9:08 a.m. PST |
Some minor tweaks and its ready for Easter I hear :) |

Mako11 Released at Easter is a running gag with the Lardies. Charlie Don't Surf was "Due at Easter" for about four years. I'm not saying it won't be out this spring but would advise you not to hold your breath. '-P Fatman |

Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification. Bit that one, hook, line, and sinker. Reminds me of other pending releases, due before Christmas, but again, no year is usually specified. |

Blimey this rules-writing stuff takes a while. I tidied up some areas that were not quite right and tried them out at the weekend. It works better now. Reported here: maximtomilan.blogspot.co.uk |
Mako11 | 26 Jan 2015 9:05 p.m. PST |
Thanks for sharing the new reports. I always enjoy them. |
Gennorm | 27 Jan 2015 5:06 a.m. PST |
My pleasure. Played another but forgot to take photos after the second turn. Dohh! |
