This is by far the BEST Flames of War supplement produced. You get 180 pages packed full of illustrations, artwork, diagrams, photographs (every pages is bristling with pictures) as well as simple to follow rules incorporating modern armour, anti-tank wepaons, squad compositions and even comprehensive rules covering the Nuclear, Biological and Chemical battlefield (radiological wasn't invented during the Cold War!) -to top this off there is a HUGE Order of Battle for the American and Soviet forces from 1960 to 1990; each broken down into three sections (60-70, 70-80 and 80-90) detailing different organisation, equipment and weapons brought into development through these three decades. It's a MASSIVE tome and well worth the effort! This book was used recently on a tabletop excercise by the UK Joint Strike Command! Lt.Colonel Gray OBE had this to say about the book: "A MUST for all FoW fans who want modern action"
