"1980s Hypothetical Cold War Hot Out of Area Scenarios" Topic

I am interested in the same thing. Where are you located?

We've actually done some of these already as part of our ongoing early 1980s cold war gone hot stuff – Norway, Greece and Japan.

My WW3 is also based around a Threads style sov invasion of Iran, but so far with only a moderate amount of nuclear unpleasantness.

Interesting ideas for scenarios. Glad most of these didn't happen!

I just had to vote for Antarctica. Hoth with snow cats instead of walkers.

No Red Dawn?

WOLVERINES!!!

I liked Charles D. Taylor's Cold War naval fiction, like 'Show of Force.'

I guess if I were doing out of area I'd do African Proxy Wars.

SPI's War In The Ice, a good example of fighting in Antarctica.

Been working on a Modern Skirmish/role-playing Cold/Hot War but it's before this-'59-'73.

Warsaw Pact Revolt during a Sov/Red China War with a MidEast War would probably be the best combo…except for civilians.

I figured out why there is no Red Dawn option.
I think I was banned at the time.

Alaska's int he US John, so you could vote for some very cold wolverines.

Alternately, "Mexican civil war" is a plot point in the film.

@LHMGKodiak
I am out of the DC area. I assume by the screen name you are in Alaska?

My cold war stuff is built around Italy in the 1980s and the possible USSR invasion of Italy. Makes for some great games.

Cold wars should be fought in ice. Period.

So – slish, slish-slishy, slishh, slishshsh, and slishsloshshlisshy were my slish-shlish-slishers.

interseting ideas

One of my favorite board games was Victory Games "NATO: The Next War in Europe" another was S&Ts "The East is Red." I sold them at the end of the Cold War in 1991. Just didn't see the point anymore. Although I might like to see an updated "East is Red" but Europe is totally different now. So I voted "other explained"
