ColdWar: 1983

ADD TO WISHLIST >

ColdWar: 1983 is a set of skirmish wargames rules primarilly designed for section and platoon level actions between NATO and Warsaw Pact troops using 20/28mm scale miniatures. That said they can be used for pretty much any historical skirmish action of the last fifty odd years, as well as fictional post-apocalypse scenarios.

The rules focus on the motivations and training of the individual soldier and the 'friction' that occurs on the battlefield to provide a realistic but easy to play recreation of late C20th warfare. Despite the focus on the man in the uniform, Cold War: 1983 also contains comprehensive weapons listings - both small arms and vehicles, as well as TO&E's for British, U.S. and Soviet units of the period.

The driver behind this release has been the increase in availability of high quality 28mm scale moderns, notably the 1980's lines from the likes of Mongrel, MoFo and TAG, as well as the vehicles from Sloppy Jalopy, and a gap in the market for an easy-to-play but realistic set of rules for them.

ColdWar: 1983 includes:

TO&E’s for British, Soviet and US units of the period,

Statistics for 20 different snall arms and 18 vehicle mounted weapons.

Game profiles for 33 different types of vehicles from a dirt bike to a Challenger MBT.

THIS EDITION OF COLDWAR: 1983 IS A VANILLA BLACK AND WHITE PRINT FRIENDLY EDITION WITH NO ILLUSTRATIONS OR PHOTOS.

A Colour PDF edition (and other formats) will become available as time permits and having bought ColdWar: 1983 you will be notified when they are uploaded and download them for no additional cost.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
