Hello all, I just started up this thread because I had an idea. I know there's probably dozens of WWIII-related wargames out there, and they're probably great and comprehensive, but the one wargame I actually played,
Dirtside II, could fit the bill real well. It has a very simple system, and though it's based for science-fiction wargaming, the 'core' is based around building your own vehicles. In fact, I found a whole list of
"Contemporary" vehicles that'd be perfect for a NATO/Warsaw showdown. The same site also has
numerous house rules for everything from mortar teams to flamethrowers, cruise missiles to special forces teams.
And if you hop on over to Junior General and print out some vehicle sprites, you're ready to go!
That being said, anyone else have a say on great WWIII wargames?
EDIT: And don't worry, there's rules for chemical and nuclear strikes, for those who want to really win.
