Preview of Soviet Vehicle Guide 1.5

[James Langham]

And now the long-delayed successor, the guide to Soviet Artillery of the Third World War.

https://docs.google.com/viewera=v&pi...thkey=CPqkv5YO

It's on google docs for now. I'll see about getting it on my website some time in the next few days.

Let me know what your preference is for the next piece: Soviet APCs, light AFVs, infantry weapons or a look at NATO armor and/or artillery.

Enjoy!

Chico, amazing work. I'd like to see Soviet light AFVs. I am already working on Pact Small Arms (see other threads) - feel free to use.

Hell Yes!

Chico, you sir, are the man. Thanks!

P.S. I know that you are a busy man and I respect your time. That said, would your consider, for your next T2K-related project, creating/finishing a Polish Vehicle Guide

Awesome....just awesome.

Lovely work, Chico. I'm suppressing a nagging feeling of guilt, as though I've obtained a quality published T2K sourcebook without having had to pay for it. Wait... that's exactly what I'll have done as soon as I can download the complete product. I hope it becomes widely distributed and referenced.

Thanks for the support! I hope you enjoy it!

I've started a Polish Vehicle Guide, but had been intending to wrap it into a more general Warsaw Pact Vehicle Guide type publication.

Our original intent was to generate unit histories for all the combatant nations by wargaming the 1996-97 campaign. That seems increasingly unlikely for a number of reasons, so I'm not sure if/when I'd be able to generate something credible for unit histories. I've got the beginnings of the Polish army done, the Czechs are obviously finished (but would have to be revised if we wargamed it), and the Hungarians, Bulgarians, Greeks, Italians and loyalist East Germans are nowhere near even started. (Jason has the lead on the Soviet unit histories, about 300 divisions and he isn't planning to even touch the independent Army and Front-level regiments and brigades. Plus I'm gradually pulling together the MVD, which is something like 15 divisions and still growing!)

Even with that said, it took me 9 months+ to get the Light AFVs piece together. I wish I had more time and energy for this stuff, but I just don't these days.

[Matt Wiser]

Nice work! When does it show up on the site, Chico Long time, no see, I might add.

[James Langham]

Excellent work as ever Chico, I always look forward to anything you post. You have my sympathy regarding time!

Thanks for the support! I hope you enjoy it!

We really need to start a letter writing campaign to Far Future Net and show them the interest there still is in the game and convince them that there is a market for fan based guidebooks and modules for the game.

Between this, the Czech, Mexican, Polish guides, what I am working on for Kenya, and others we could possibly really get the game started again with new modules and a revised canon.

And with a new speed record, Soviet APCs! https://docs.google.com/openid=0B1iW...FJSeUgwTkoySlE

I'll probably work on air defense systems next...

The APCs will probably be up on my web site sometime in the next week.

Enjoy!

Very nice work, Chico. Your stuff always rocks. I especially love the pics you dig up and the captions you add- they give your work such a high level of verisimilitude. It's like I'm reading about an actual RL WWIII!

If I may offer a very modest suggestion, for the photo of the BMD in the Lithuanian village, you might consider changing the caption to some place in China. Those thatched-roof buildings just look like something you might see in village in the Chinese countryside.
