Title: Rapid Fire! 'Able Archer' Cold War Rules Adaptation
Post by: Fireman Tim on October 02, 2015, 02:03:00 PM

FYI for all those Cold War gamers who like the Rapid Fire rule set.  The rules are circa 1983-1984 but can be modified up to 1986 or so if you want to field Bradleys and such.

Thanks for the info.

That's what I thought, since it all looks so great!

Wish I could afford vehicles and troops in that scale.
