Cold War 3 Released

Armiesarmy writes:

""Compatible with FoW means that if you already play FoW you can use these as a supplement or you will already have a good idea how the rules play. Also, if you wanted to play odd ball games such as who would win out of a platoon of King Tiger Tanks against a platoon of T-72's you can as the armour values (the algorithm to work out armours) is basically the same as that used in FoW for the core armour. ERA, composite & spaced have additional rules as well as the different cannon warheads used to penetrate such armours. Basing is different, instead of two bases per squad you have three to four depending on how large your squad is to give more flexibility in deploying your units. Also, to aid in casualties as well. Command distance rules are different as well, as command is now treated as a bubble your units can operate in. As long as part of that bubble is touching another bubble, you're in command. I shall work up an overview of the rules and post them up"

The rules presented here in this 3rd Edition are completely revised and updated. This book is different from the 1st Edition in the fact that here, in one volume, you have rules for shooting, wounding, movement, line-of-sight, visibility, obstacles, direct and indirect fire, artillery and morale!

This book brings your miniatures into the modern era! Included are the rules for basing and organizing your squads and platoons that make up your combined arms force; comprehensive rules on artillery, Forward Observers, Forward Air Controllers, medics and Medevac, off table artillery, and fighting in the aftermath of a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear strike.

This book can be used with the set of handbooks already published by Dean Wilson, such as Carabinieri: Italian Military Police and the Army of Italy, Battlefield Bangkok: Royal Thai Army and Police, and Fulda Gap: The Soviet Invasion of West Germany; as well as the forthcoming titles such as The Gulf! Desert Storm to Iraqi Freedom (Op Telic) 1991 to Present and Afghanistan! Battle For Helmand Province.

The rules are currently provided in PDF format; however, myself and Dean are looking at a softback version in the very near future. Thanks to Dean, I will be offering £4.00 GBP off for the next two weeks!

Dean has many other ideas that I'm privileged to be part of, and I have to say these have quickly become one of my favorite sets of rules!

The rules are available here.
