Really? Why not? Some of the biggest tank battles in history! |

Just shows ignorance of the period. Great for armour and air combat. Difficulty in getting sources is an issue, but no worse than many other periods. |

We're going to play a huge tank battle in "Patton Valley". M47s / M48s / Centurians & an occasional Sherman in a couple of weeks. What's not to like about the Indo- Pakistani wars? |

I agree with Vigilant an ignorance of military history. A lot of people speculate about a post WW2 war. Well here was one. Of the wars on here, Polynesia tribal would have been my vote. |

I've never gotten around to doing anything, but I was intrigued by the high altitude skirmishes and patrols the Pakistanis and Indians conducted, where the troops had to carry oxygen. I think having to factor in oxygen usage would be an interesting complication. Grelber |

I've gamed this both for the ground and air conflict and it was quite interesting with a great mix of forces. |
