Cold War3! Rules for Modern Warfare 1960-1990
Fully revised 4th Edition of COLD WAR3! – in fact, so revised and shiny and new, it's a completely new book!
Includes rules for combined arms using artillery, armor, mechanized, aircraft and support troops (such as engineers and medical personnel). Rules for the electronic battlefield, nuclear, biological and chemical battlefield. Recovering and repairing knocked out vehicles; building bridges, defenses, trenches and repairing defenses. Fighting in buildings, built-up areas and in a contaminated environment. Rules are included for paratroopers, reconnaissance elements, assaults and close-combat (even assaulting tanks if you are so inclined). A flexible figure scale of anything from 6mm right through to 54mm (with it optimized for 15mm) can be used with a flexible ground scale that can take in the vast ranges of modern artillery. Included are rules for conducting air support missions, air-to-air combat, air-to-ground attacks, helicopter operations, anti-aircraft artillery and missiles. Rules are also included for morale and their effect on our little model soldiers. Wounds and recovery of those (using medics if you've paid for them!).
Rules for various armors such as Chobham, Dorchester, ERA bricks, BAR armor, and all manner of nasties that can defeat those armors, including 2nd generation (Top-Attack. Tandem Warhead) ATGMs such as Improved TOW II and the Russian Svir missiles.
