As some of you may be aware I wrote a couple of the missions (scenarios) in the new Cold War Gone Hot book by Ambush Alley Games. A year or so early (when I had wriiten these scenarios) I also wrote another one that was to appear in the original version of the book.
Things changed (including a new version of Force on Force) and the third mission was dropped from the final, recently released, book. One of the reasons it was dropped was the sheer size of the mission. Once you have seen the mission, you'll know what I mean - but I also designed it to be playable - so I beleive it won't overwhelm the system.
Shawn (il supremo of AAG) has kindly given me the OK to put up on this blog the mission that didn't make it into the book.
So if you look over to your right you'll see a link to it under - "Useful Documents" - or you can link to it here
Would love to see someone give it a go.
Hope you enjoy my attempt to simulate attacking a VDV bridge-head.
Have fun...

Cold War Gone Hot
Not exactly what I thought I'd be writing about this week - however it's come to my attention that some Amazon customers who pre-ordered "Cold War Gone Hot", a supplement for their Force-on-Force game system - have already recieved their copies of the book - which isn't due out until 22 November.
Lucky, lucky buggers is all I can say. Looking forward to getting a copy of this myself.
The last copy of this I have seen was a proof before it was sent off to Osprey. Reason I got to see the proof was because I wrote two of the scenarios in the book, and helped out a little in other areas as well.
So when you get it, have a look for a Spetsnaz mission where they try and take out a Harrier jump jet hide, and an SAS mission where they try and take out a Soviet HQ. Very interested to hear what people think of the scenarios and especially to see any After Action Reports.
I had another scenario that didn't make the book (too big) which I'd still like to try out.
There should be a broad range of other scenarios in there as well - not just special forces raiding type missions and assuming it hasn't changed much from the last time I saw it AAG have tackled the subject in a very interesting way. It is also packed full of useful info - especialy the stuff on unit TO&Es - that will be good for any Cold War gaming.
So go out and buy it now - and let me know what you think
Have fun...
