"Sunday, August 4, 1985 the Warsaw Pact thundered across the Iron Curtain. 6 Soviet Armies, backed up by the forces of Poland, Czechoslovakia, and East Germany, hammered into the NATO forces guarding the border. The Americans, supported by the armies of West Germany, Britain, and France, are strained to the breaking point at the Soviet Advance. It is 1985, and the Cold War had just gone hot." Pretty kewl looking table top game. More info here
Indeed, plus the tank models look extremely awesome. It would seem the various nations have distinct play styles (most notably NATO members), so that's pretty cool too
I took a look at the link you posted and had a few WTF moments actually. Example: Why are Tornados way cheaper than A10s or Su25s and considered flimsy? In real life those are incredibly hard to hit because they fly very low and very fast and they are (mostly) precision strike craft. In a cold war gone hot scenario they would even have used nukes. So I guess they made some weird design choices to make the units different? Dunno. Other than that: yeah might be a nice game but 15mm is too small for me.
