Cold War-era GamingA couple of friends and I have been thinking about Modern Spearhead. Anyone play this? How about other Cold War oriented systems, any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. |

I tried Cold War Commander once. Altough i only have limited acess to cool minis it was funny to play something different than WWII.

For you Cold War commanders, I recommend "Team Yankee", a book I just recently rediscovered while going through some of the boxed remnants of things I was able to save when hurricane Rita took the roof of my mobile home. A good read for this subject matter. While I'm on the subject here's a couple more, "Red Storm Rising" and "The Texas Israeli Wars". Blasts from the Past. | ||

All of Harold's books are good. And you DO NOT want to play Jagpanzer with him | ||

He sort of lost me there after The Ten Thousand. He knows tanking, that's for sure, but... In any event, I still think Team Yankee is the best of the various WWIII novels floating around out there. |

As far as books go Team Yankee is one of the best. I also recommend Gen Sir John Hackett's The Third World War: August 1985 and The Third World War: The Untold Story both of which Harold Coyle based Team Yankee upon. Ronald Reagan supposedly had Sir Hackett's books on his critical reading list.
I also recommend Larry Bond's Red Phoenix (hypothetical Second Korean War) and Vortex (Soviet sponsored Cuban invasion of apartheid era South Africa). Both are rattlingly good yarns. Salut y'all! |
