This is a story purpose-made for a reasonably cheap wargame, with one or more US ‘Pink Teams’ (an observation helicopter plus a killer Cobra gunship) versus whatever collection you fancy of T-34⁄85, PT-76, and T-54 tanks, with some anti-aircraft guns, missiles, or the odd ZSU anti-aircraft vehicle. * Miniature Wargames *Everything is well illustrated throughout, with lots of archive photos, colour profiles artwork, maps, battle scenes and tactics diagrams. * Military Model Scene *
