I actually tried to do a re-drafting for my personal use only . Gaming mainly Cold War Europe I rather tongue-in-cheek nick-named them "A Handful of HOTs" after the Franco-German equivalent of TOW.  A "Shedful of Swingfires" didn't sound quite as good. 

Our little gaming group then opted for the "unofficial" Cold War Battlegroup which we found worked fine in 1/300.  We use cm for movement and inches for gunnery ranges.  Although overtaken by NORTHAG the benefit of "unofficial" is that it has far more ORBATs and vehicle data. So far NORTHAG is only BAOR and Soviet.

Wot? You didn’t go with a mitt full of Milans?
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Cut out card files and backs should be included with the original pdf version.

I sold the rights to gomi about 10 years ago, and I believe the game he sells is the original draft and rules still.





Thanks. I dropped Gomi a question this morning asking if the PDF comes complete with the cards, chits and QRF as the hard copy seems no longer available.

 I also recall hearing rumours of a version 2 which would cover riverine actions. This was one reason I held off buying this edition when I found them a year ago....and then forgot about them!

OK thanks. He hasn’t answered my question posed via the website. I’ll decide if I risk my £8 or will it disappear into the ether!

 Any chance of a V2?
