Cold War Battles

After 14 Hours, all achievements and playing thru every scenario and campaign at least once, this is a solid old school wargame that you can get into really quickly. I wish their was air and helicopters and I dream of huge scenarios, but it scratches the wargame itch. Going to be some free dlc. I do wish their was a scenario creation tool so that you could make your own scenarios...but creator of game has promised more scenarios are on the way so for now that will have to do. I give the game 9/10 and a thumbs up.

This game is crack for grognards. Very pure mechanics. Fulda Gap reduced to it's essence.

Very fun! The simplicity is what makes this, looking forward to more content.

I was really looking forward to playing this -just not enough games out there that deal with the cold war era back to post WW2. Unfortunately I found a hard time even getting into it for numerous reasons. I've been playing 'war' games for forty years; board, table top miniatures, and computer. In addition I was in the Army, a Tanker, stationed in Germany during the late Cold War and a Gulf War Veteran. Having said all that, most of this is due to the lack of realistic mechanics and unit abilities/ statists, ect. I hope you can understand why I cannot recommend this game in its current development for any serious players. For example: First few things that caught my attention within a few minutes of playing. * The inability of vehicles to load/unload passengers in the same hex. Stacking. To me that's a no-brainer. Please correct if I'm wrong. I think this would be an easy enough fix- I'm not a Dev. * Another glaring item is the presence of M1A1s and certain Warsaw-Pack vehicles in 1983. It would have been some variant of the M60. ( My battalion was one of the first to receive the M1A1 during the upgrade in Germany. I believe that was in '87. The M1 wasn't widely dispersed before …

Good solitaire game! Hopefully, more scenarios and campaigns in the future! Also, will we be able to play multiplayer or create our own scenarios or campaigns??? We shall see!

Workmanlike 1970's-era Cold War wargame. Unfortunately, it's a little too simple for most wargamers, with it's old-fashioned IGOUGO and lack of any "soft" factors like suppression, morale, supply state, cohesion or training. There's no command structure at all. It's just a bunch of units on a board. Reminds me a lot of the ancient PanzerBlitz, which today is rightly pilloried for its questionable (really questionable) depiction of tactical warfare. I would suggest that the author go and look at something like the boardgame Eisenbach Gap (or the World at War 85 series in general) to get some better ideas. That game is really simple and yet vastly more interesting, because the NATO formations get about double the activations of their Warsaw Pact counterparts. You can't really depict this conflict without *some* sort of representation (even if abstracted) of the command structures involved. That (along with training/morale/comms) is what really made the two sides different - not hard stats like firepower and protection (which were similar). What I would recommend: 1) Implement a suppression mechanic and close assault. Find-Fix-Flank-Finish should be the kill chain. See #5 be…
