I am planning games in 28mm with around 30 figures each side with a couple of BMPs for the Russians. I already have Arc of Fire which I think should do fine but would welcome any other suggestions. Anyone using Arc of Fire for such games? |

Never even heard of Arc of Fire, what's it like? Force on Force would work. |

Try Force on Force by Ambush Alley |

I'll third Force on Force. It always makes for an exciting game, specializes in asymmetrical fights, and will work well for the size of games you're planning. |

I've used Force on Force in my Russian/Afghan games. Seems to be what it was designed for. |

I am not a fan of the quality die concept used by Force on Force. I wrote a Soviet Afghan War supplement for the Two Hour Wargame Vietnam rules FNG which are still probably on the THW Yahoo site in the files section. There is also a gent somewhere who has done a very good Vietnam variant of the Chain of Command rules from Too Fat Lardies that could easily be converted to SOviet Afghan War. Frankly, I am putting my games on hold until Too Fat comes out with their Fighting Season rule set—if they ever do. Was supposed to be imminent two years ago and then disappeared. |

Lion, Here you are:
link I think that they are not as popular as they are not in the "bright and shiny" format. |

I've played a Disposable Heroes variant for that war. Pretty good! |

The Disposable Heroes Soviet Afghan War supplement is called 'By The Knife' and it was a free PDF. But I can't find it on Iron Ivan's site now. |
begins to think about terrain for Team Yankee.
