Warm up your wallets, and prepare to game on one of the coldest battlefield. Red Star, White Lights (hereafter referred to as RSWL) explores what might have happened in a Scandinavian theater of a Third World War in 1985. It is a rules neutral (that means you can play it with any rules set) set of 12 skirmish scenarios and detailed squad and platoon orders of battle for Norway, Sweden and Finland, as well as the Soviet VDV and Naval Infantry, and the British Royal Marine Commandos. It also has notes for where to find miniatures to play out these battles in the cold north, as well as some suggestions for special rules and troop attributes. In short, it's a complete product! But it is also part of a series, a series meant to answer the question, "What is going on in those 'Other Fires' of the Third World War" outside the conflagration of the Central Front. RSWL is a PDF only product, and is being sold for $9.99 USD USD via Wargames Vault, or ArmiesArmy.com. The release date for RSWL is January 29th. We are offering $1 USD off for Guild Supporting Members and SOTCW members.

Sounds interesting. Hope US Marines are included too, but if not, I expect we'll be able to manage. Have snowshoes, and cold weather training, will travel. |

Also interested, "The War That Never Was" novel has some interesting action in the north that opened my eyes up to the potential. Are these for a company per side or smaller/larger engagements? |

Hey! What about Canada? We had troops stationed in Norway, and had the Canadian Air-Sea Transportable Brigade Group ready for rapid redeployment to there when the Reds invaded. |

Ill add how great these are and how much time was spent on gathering the information and playtesting! Particularly the OOB with input from real veterans :) plus lots more to follow after! It will get better and better! |

Sounds like skirmish level gaming then, good to know, and interesting. |
