I watched this last night. link It is the first time I have seen the movie. There's a skirmish game or three in that movie pitting the local residents and police against a Russian submarine crew, and it is easily adaptable to many eras. |

79th- I think you missed the point of the movie. And its one of my faves too. |

At the end of the movie the townspeople escort the sub out and away from the island. That would be interesting to game. |

A really funny movie! Showed it in Iraq; everybody laughed a lot in spite of the fact that some did not like the underlying 60s "peacenik" message. |

Emergency! Emergency! Please to get in from the street.A great Alan Arkin classic. "Little boy is very smart. No we are not Russian, given the historical enmity between Russia and America can you imagine how unthinkable it would be for Russian sailors to land on American soil? No, we are Nor-weeg-ians…." |

Image the same movie made in the old Soviet Union. Heroic peasants rise up and capture an American submarine with great loss of life on both sides. You know, a Russian comedy. |
