Something streamlined that we could use as a frame for a Team Yankee campaign? |

Air and Armor is good, though south of Fulda. V Corps may be a bit high level… |

First Battle games (Twilight 2000) by GDW. Also the World at War series from Lock n Load Publishing. Depends on what scale you want to work at to set things up. Do you want to push around platoons, companies, battalions, brigades or divisions. Also how complex a rules system. You could also use the "Berthier" system to set things up. link |

My ongoing WW3 campaign is run using SPIs 'BAOR', so Fulda Gap would work. As I play with brigades/regiments, I don't bath-tub, but I do select the battles to play as to play them all would take forever. Many, many years I wrote 'The Race to Leningrad' as a campaign system for Spearhead, and some clever people re-wrote it as 'The Race to the Rhine' for WW3. It would work fine for TY (scaled down), and is specifically designed to generate wargame battles. Dig around in the Spearhead yahoo group and it will turn up (just checked, it is still there). |
