Status: offline 		The 1985 Scenarios I have been designing are along the lines of "Red Storm Rising" and "Team Yankee" in that I am assuming a build up and prepared scenario (Warsaw Pact at the Frontier and much of the NATO REFORGER air bridge/POMCUS reinforcements in play.). So while they are not RSR scenarios they should play similar. I'm working on one now using the Eiterfeld Map that will be a meatgrinder like the RSR Alfeld battle.

I was Navy, but Assigned TAD to the 24th MAU Hq in Beirut. By far the finest period of my service!

Status: offline 		A novel I'm reading at the moment, Red Army, interestingly shows an element of the 3rd CAA skipping Hameln (Itself raided by a distraction air attack) and taking the bridge at Bad Oeynhausen rather than Rinteln to cross the Weser. In addition, the British are fought there, not the Germans.

Status: offline 		I'm rereading the RSR novel myself IMHO, his best (with collaboration).

As to the RSR battles around Alsfeld, Beiben and the Hamlin area I had actually considered the suggestion above but the NATO force was a scratch force of four different (five?) nationalities. UK, American, FGR, Belgian (and Dutch?). Thus to model it in FP:RS one would need to construct a "NATO database" with the equipment type pretty much telling you which nationality they belonged too. It's doable just, as far as I know, without mixed nationalities. The counters would, I think, need to be generic backgrounds.

I've read the book.

I took the locations of the main units at the time of the clash we created and then actually tracked them as I thought the battles may have developed. I used several different models to do that. Once I had a battle then I dropped it down to our level of execution and you get to fight them.

Good Hunting.

Great minds! I'm rereading the novel myself IMHO, his best (with collaboration).
