  1. Bit off topic. 

    I just wrapped up Storm of War by Andrew Roberts.   EXCELLENT book. Covers big picture.  Well researched

    I just picked up Napoleon by Andrew Roberts.  Still on Introduction...got it for Fathers Day - yesterday.  no opinion yet.

  2. There was an old book written 1985?

    It was an account of what might happen in a cold war fight back then.

    The main aspect which is true today is ammo depletion which the book discussed. Supply was the biggest issue with both sides running out of ammo in 7-8 weeks with fighting on massive fronts.

    With MGs firing lotza rounds and all high tech ammo even with mass production supply couldnt keep up with demand.

    So this game shows easily the ammo depletion of units.

    My guys burned through 00s of rounds suppressing very fast.

    One feature of this game id like added is where you can auto supply your troops with ammo from all vehicles purchased.

    Option max out ammo. They need more ammo lol

    AT launchers can can be at players choice.

    Just makes it easier to kick off :)

    Still love the game thou

     

    I seem to recall this.  Written by a UK AF General.  The 3rd World War.   

     

    Additionally, Harold Coyle took that book and wrote a novel about a single tank battalions action in the fictional war.

  3. Old-timey warfighting where the two sides lined up in ranks against each other and fired in volleys would be a tough sell.

    I'd go for a 'retro' 1960s WWIII title. T-62s versus M60s and M48, Centurions and Leopard 1s. Halfway between WWII and high tech modern war. The problem with that, though, is WWIII would've probably gone nuclear pretty quickly.

    Sounds like a 67 or 73 Arab/Israeli battle.
