For the original players of V 1.0, Red dawn and Red Storm Rising (and Clancy in general) were such a source of inspiration, I would never ban a link to them or their offshoots.
More generally forums banning links was due to a google policy that was dominant over a decade ago. If you had more links out of, than in to, your site, it then was considered "leaky", which would lower your search ranking. I honestly don't know if that is still even a small factor in ranking, but the problems that links can cause, has at a minimum been greatly reduced, as the dynamics of search engine ranking changed. So pretty much if a link has any tangential relationship, I am cool with it.
