That’s what they had in the books…

Any updates Geoff on the Cold War Canuks?

I’d be happy with a mixed pack.  It does re-enforce the rag-tag aspect of a irregular army.

You can never have too much 15mm goodness – who are your VDV going to fight?

 

As of right now, about 100 or so mujahedin and a pack of Rebel minis contractors who will stand in for assorted western “helpers/teachers”.

What I would really like is for Geoff to make 80s era mujahedin with Blowpipe or Stinger…

 

But the VDV can always make a wrong turn and end up on the other side of the Iron Curtain for some action against the Canadians once Geoff unleashes them 😉

My main gaming group likes Disposable Heroes which uses pre-calcualted armour equivalents in discrete zones and hides the math to the end user.  However, if I were to create that system from scratch would be to add a probability curve to the shell penetration values rather than a linear increase in multiples of d10 pips.

 

On the other hand, my other group likes Bolt action where there are 6 classifications of armour (Softskin, Armoured Car, Light, Medium, Heavy and Super-Heavy).

 

Personally, I prefer Disposible’s method of doing it, since there is less arguing about where you put your curve for grading the tanks and it’s more time-frame independent.   A T-55 in 1950 has more or less the same front plate thickness than t-55s in 1991, but I would argue that compared to the competition, it drops from a heavy to a medium over time.

Just looking at new VDV…

 

My poor bank account.  I already have a full company of VDV in assault helmets with associated Mi-8 and Mi-24 support in addition to a full platoon in berets and BMD-2 for later period.  Do I really need more…

[Martin Lefebvre]

Geoff, did my info on the Canadian SAW help?  – Hint, I’m itching to get some once they’re available to go up against your VDV.

I really like the Naval Thunder rules by Steel Dreadnought Games.

The scale is 2 inches=1000 yards, time scale is 5 minutes/turn, 1d10 per tube.

 

We usually get a game of about 10-15 capital ships per side in about 3-4 of casual gaming.  If you want some after-game reports, I have a few on my blog http://thenortherngamer.blogspot.ca/.

still not sure what squad LMG they used

The FNC2.  It’s basicly the “Canadianized” version of the Australian L2A1

Email Sent.  I can’t wait to try it with my Soviet Afghan stuff that I’m painting.

 

Do the rules cover air assaults?

Cheers,

Martin
