Well, 80s music and a game about a hopeless end of time war, of course it is the Goth and Industrial kids occupying the thread.
 
 

I ve been playing CM for about a decade now and a 1980s CM: Cold War has always been what i dreamt of, Shock Force has always been just a substitute for the real thing. Am i... am i dreaming? Is this, like, a joke with Steve telling us 'haha got ya' on April 1st?

Today we go to the Netherlands with Ronny !
 

...young again and have all the life in the front of you, like children, ignoring the real life and the danger, being without fear, and have funny time again... with the mind from today !

I am deeply pleased by the amount of Goth/Industrial fans on a hardcore military wargaming forum.

Just Heer. The Austrian Military is called Bundesheer, and Bundeswehr in Germany. Maybe missleading for foreign people.
Here a CH-53 by the Heer, in which you can see it:

That might be true, but "Wehr" does have more the mening of defense.
A "Wehr" can also be a technical building reducing the flow of water in a river.
"Brustwehr" is a parapet.
"Wehrhaft" means somebody is ready for defense.
"Sich wehren" means "to fight back"

the etymology might be related to war, but it be more like the english word of defense, which is also connected to fence or fencing, which in itself might be connected again to the German word "fechten" (fencing) or "Gefecht" (Battle)

I went into the game and clicked a pict of it.

Thirteenth Minute - The Board is Set
 
“In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.”
Art of War, Sun Tsu
 
Minute 13:
1st Platoon's Tank Section 2 continued to harass the two T-64As on the Soviet left (my right) flank.  These are the two T-64s that took a beating in the 12th minute... and they each take several more rounds into their front hull and turret, both backing into the woods the whole time.

T-64A (right side) manages to escape.. but it has to be damaged.  I am considering it a mission kill until I know otherwise.  If it pops back up later I will address it then.
T-64A (left side) takes a penetrating hit at the end of the turn.. and this one kills it:

 

CURRENT SITUATION
This is a busy image, and I apologize for that. 
Enemy Situation:
Recon Company remnants are pushing forward and are on my extreme left. Warren's dismounted infantry and scouts continue to push toward Dolbach, supported by the Recon Company BMP-1Ps/BMR-1 and the Infantry Company's BMP-1s BMP-1s in overwatch are starting to move forward some, but are remaining behind the infantry for now T-62 Company is still being held in reserve, but is moving forward slightly T-64B Platoon is down to one fully functional tank and one wounded and probably gun damaged tank T-64A platoon is down to one wounded and probably disabled tank
My Support Plan:
2 of my 3 available M-106 Mortars are starting to drop rounds in front of the Soviet infantry.  Timing with indirect fire is always a challenge, but I am liking how this is shaping up
One of 155mm batteries is dropping spotting rounds for a linear fire mission as shown below.  Fire for effect should start in a couple turns.
I do have more planned, but am saving that for the next report!  Yes, I will finally let you in on the planning that I have been working toward for several turns now... stay tuned! Finally, some Tank Porn!!
BMP-1P:

BMR-1 (Recon Company CO's ride:

Sorry, I can´t take Chris Pohl serious.
Why not post the original, which is better and fits the 80s timeframe.
 
 

When we plunged into the dark side of the 80s already, how about some Girls Under Glass (former Calling Dead Red Roses)?
Fits a bit the mood of doom if the cold war, and it's even a band from Germany
Or another German band of that time, Marquee Moon:

Yes I know click click also, I think we have to take contact together to share some minds !
I am sure to have lot of things to let discovers together !
In my opinion, we have to remember that Here is a Communtity of Battles with some sounds of musics sometimes, so sad to say this,  but I can be wrong to thinking like this, I hope not,  but I am full with you and others ones to share and talking about what we like !

Or the British band Click Click, this early 80s song should have a direct Cold War topic as well:
 
 

Hey thanks for that.. I quite enjoy word origins, and in fact the English word "Fight".. would have been pronounced fekt (much like the German word) in Old English... subsequent vowel shifts and dialect changes over time changed the pronunciation but kept the original spelling... that's why there are so many oddly spelled words in English (night, knight, caught , etc.).  Fun stuff.
