Great AAR.. The rules set looks very interesting to the cold wars. Thanks |

Thanks, guys. I used top-down vehicle and infantry images from JuniorGeneral.org and just added a bevel effect in PowerPoint. Lots to pick from at that site. |

Great report and very innovative. This looks a good way of testing or for playing when travelling. |
