Just in case you ever wanted to know:
YouTube link Team Yankee: Checkpoint Charlie is coming out later this year and might just cover this, or at least get really close. It's pretty cool to see M60s (These are A1s, right), M113s, TOWs, Cobra TOW gunships, and Dragons in action against 'Soviet' forces. It's cool that they had the T62 which they guessed to be the main foe in 1976. No BMPs or BTRs though.I do wonder why the M113 TOW varient was left out. Didn't they have the M150 with a single TOW launcher around then? Anyway, I can't wait to see this new version of Team Yankee! |

Tgunner, that is really quite excellent! Wish I had this to send to my local group, before running my recent 4mm Cold War games. Just the bit on smoke tactics – pre-thermal Soviet sights, would have been useful (as it was, I had to coach a player-team during one of the games, to remind them of these concealment tactics). Much of the closing to battle [then & now] depends on proper recon work – and although in image format only, I found this Cold War-era, US Armored Cavalry manual excellent (and potentially for scenario generation/basis)- link |
