From Soviet doctrine to chemical weapons, from air war to amphibious ops, passing thru REFORGER, electronic warfare & Polish revolts.
How do you turn World War Three, the worst nightmare of 20th century, into a living room sim?
Anthony Morphet and Fabrizio Vianello will offer some hindsight on the design process & the decisions to take.

Thanks to our Embedded Combat Engineer John Rainey, a new version for The Dogs of War Vassal module is here. And yes, the extension allowing to use it in combination with Less Than 60 Miles is ready too!

As already happened last year, we were keeping a small The Dogs of War strategic reserve in Europe, earmarked for future conventions…..Needless to say, no convention is in sight, so part of the reserve is now committed to the front!

SITREP 20210323 0734ZT: A Sukhoi-24 strike destroyed the depot. No more reserve equipment is available.

Thanks to the Grognard Maximus Kaya Moriya, we now have the Japanese version for The Dogs of War. Kudos to Kaya-San!!
In no particular order, a collection of the incoming reports about the situation in the BAOR sector. I’ll add more satellite images as they arrive!
Thanks to Grognard Emeritus Lionel Martinez, we now have an alternate TDOW Booklet, including revised tables and a different layout! Not sure about the tables, but maybe it’s just me and anyway it’s an outstanding work.
