Maybe no one knows as it''s no even been discussed yet. As for Black Sea does either Russia or the US or Ukraine still use them?

Yeah but I mean come on, the yacht payments have to be made right?

@The Captain, I'll make this question deliberately generic so you don't have to give anything away but do you have a bigger team lined up for the first module including perhaps a foreign national veteran of the nation of choice?

By four do you mean Steve and Charles along with you and Bil, or some other two?

Was adding ICM already at the top of Battlefront's to do list or pushed to the top by Bil and the Captain for this family?

Read Elvis's last post in this thread:

There are hints something else will be announced today....

Ramming speed!

I like v6 but if you're trying to get away from brown then v4.

Good to hear from you Mord. You going to do a dealership?

No, as I recall two or three French divisions were stationed in West Germany, plus as others have mentioned, there was a French brigade in Berlin.

So what was it that convinced Steve and Charles to go ahead with this project?

In WW2 Us airborne divisions were used as emergency reinforcements at the beachhead at Salerno and to block the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge. They were almost dropped on Rome as part of a coup. They fought as elite ground troops in Vietnam. I'm sure others can think of more examples. Our war here would be won or lost in Germany. I would find it most probable most of 82nd would show up for the fight and probably sooner than later.

Liquidators? Nice photos.

I recall a monthly comic book about vehicle maintenance too.

The picture of the US tank on the flatcar, is that a M-60? The reverse turret throws me.

I don't suppose all the railway lines will come with the electric wires in this game?

I'd expect France would be more willing to enter the war than the Warsaw Pact allies.

Are you familiar with this thread?

I thought the Kuwait War was clear enough as opposed to the Iraq War, but perhaps my dislike of naming them First and Second Gulf Wars got the better of me.

IIRC they were the first US tanks to take station in Saudi Arabia in the Kuwait War but I don't know if they actually saw action.

Is first class the equivalent of Rifle Marksmen ?

I inquired on Board Game Geek Wargamers area and got this reply so far: "In about 1981 or maybe 1982, I was the S-4 of 1-34 Armor and we deployed as a part of REFORGER and drew a POMCUS set. The set of equipment was well maintained and we had no real problems during the draw, operations, or turn in. The equipment or at least some, of the equipment was not new. I remember looking at tank serial numbers - I don't remember if I had to sign verify the serial numbers of the equipment I was signing for or not - but I essentially signed for a tank battalion, one each complete. At least one of the serial numbers seemed to me to be one of the M60A1 Rise Passive tanks I had been signed for as a tank and cavalry platoon leader in 1/11 ACR. As I was leaving the 11th ACR just as we were getting the first generation of M60A3s (laser range finder, but no thermal sights), it makes sense that the tanks, only about 18 months old, would be put into POMCUS. As I recall, POMCUS sites were periodically updated, but were not necessarily the most recent tanks fielded."

Hey, we need something to take on the ASU 85s ! I want to say I appreciate that Battlefront includes second line material in their hypothetical subject families. To me the biggest stretch was the Canadian Leopard I in Shock Force. Had the Syrian War in Shock Force been a reality, I still can't see any way Canada would ship its Leopard I's to participate in that campaign. P.S. Do I recall correctly Shock Force Canadians also had M109s that would have had to been taken out of reserve storage to be used?

At least she didn't call it a Gavin.
