Hello everyone, I am writing to announce first, the formation of an imprint of ArmiesArmy called Ram Company Games. We will be an imprint doing generic scenario packs designed to appeal to the skirmish gamer, at least at first, but we'll (Keith of ArmiesArmy and I) be expanding our repertoire as time goes on. Our first series we will be working on is called Other Fires: The Other Theatres of the Third World War.

These are scenario packs set in places other than the "traditional Soviet Sunday Drive to the Rhine." The first is called Red Star, White Lights, and is set in Norway, Sweden and Finland in a hypothetical 1985. It is elite units and determined national armies fighting it out for a very important (but not often wargamed, at least from the non-naval perspective) area of the world.

I hope you enjoy our first offering, I am putting my heart and soul into it, because I want you, the gamer, to feel you are getting your money's worth. We also hope you consider using the 15mm figure line AA is putting together for battles in the north, and I will say this much, they look great from the pictures I have seen. But, you can use any scale, and any rules set you like.

I hope to have it ready by sometime before winter is over, but it will be ready when it is ready, and not a moment before.

So, come join us as the Red Star advances under the White Lights, and see who might have come out on top!

Red Star, White Lights will be available through the ArmiesArmy website and Wargames Vault, once it is ready!

Very cool. Any word on a preview of the contents? I'd be really interested if it includes MEU and its available in .PDF as shipping to my corner of the US can be a hassle.

sounds good.

It will be PDF and we will be previewing shortly :)

Lots of playtesting is underway and I am currently finishing up the maps and pretty pictures :)

Awwww heck, I feel another order to pico armor coming up… It is a theater I am not as familiar with, looking forward to seeing this.

Hey all,
Figured I better chime in, I am writing this thing! (Ha!) Anyhow. As of this point, the manuscript is done, at least, as a draft ready to playtest. It has had some playtesting done in a previous incarnation, but a re-write is going to necessitate that everything be playtested again, I wouldn't feel comfortable otherwise.

The scenarios are set for Squad/Platoon level and honestly, I am very excited about this. It will be something awesome and honestly, nobody I know has done a potential Third World War except for endless scenarios set in Germany (Nothing against those, but I just wanted to be different?)

I encourage everyone to visit the FB page or the Web page, as I am trying to comment 2-3 times a week there. Sounds like I should put up a post today.

@MajorsWotWot, there is one scenario with the USMC!

Sounds cool, and I am definitely interested in the USMC in Norway aspect, too.

V/R,
Jack
