Thanks for this.  The I-I War is fairly underrepresented and underappreciated by wargamers.  Some of the largest tank battles in the post-WW2 era took place with Soviet-style tactics against Western hardware early on.  Graviteam has some very good scenarios and Steel Beasts has a few with the potential to model almost anything in that war.

I would have thought CMCW would have made a better representation than CMSF2.  Especially once the BOAR shows up with their Chieftains.
