COMBAT ALERT — FOR IMMEDIATE EXECUTION
Comrade Colonel-General,
Despite the sincere and tireless diplomatic efforts of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to preserve peace in Europe, the aggressive and provocative actions of the imperialist United States and its puppet regime in Bonn continue to pose an unacceptable threat to the sovereignty of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the collective security of the Socialist Bloc.
Accordingly, the Central Committee, with full authority and historical responsibility, has directed the Armed Forces of the USSR to commence OPERATION LADOGA. The fraternal forces of our Warsaw Pact allies stand shoulder to shoulder with us in this historic struggle.
You are hereby ordered to immediately execute the OPERATION LADOGA Directive.
MISSION
- Access the 1985: Under an Iron Sky 4th Echelon page, and proceed to acquire your combat equipment.
- Maintain continuous communication with the Political Officer attached to your formation and report all developments in your front sector, as per established protocols.
OPERATIONAL CONSTRAINTS
- The combat equipment is available in limited quantity. The requests will be handled on a first come first served basis.
- A small emergency reserve will be kept aside and used at STAVKA discretion.
Let our actions reflect the iron discipline, revolutionary spirit, and unwavering loyalty of the Red Army. Together, under the banner of Lenin and the guidance of the Party, we march toward the final victory over imperialism.
Long live the Socialist cause! Long live the indomitable will of the Soviet people!
Urra!
Hi, is the “Checkpoint Charlie” scenario remain? Thank you
Yes, the scenario is still there 🙂
I already ordered the game on July 16, 2025. Do I have to reorder?
No Comrade…why should you?
Hopefully the next alert will be that DNL is getting another printing.
Seconded
I believe that the contents of the package I received are incorrect. Email and Facebook messenger notification sent.
Standing by for confirmation of error. I hope no pesky capitalist has got my game.
Same thing here mate. Apparently screwup by the mail carrier. I just got a responce and they said it should be corrected soon.
Yes the fulfilment company screwed up on 8 shippings, sending a state-of-the-art and useless TV support instead of a copy of 1985:UAIS.
The problem has been fixed and I think we should have a correct shipping tomorrow 🙂
Yesterday morning I was in the process of completing the order by inserting a new address since I am away for vacation and by the time I finished the game became out of stock.
was I punished for my capitalistic lifestyle? 🙂
Will the Central comitee release an update kit like this one:

The fighters who fought in 1st, 2nd and 3rd echelon would rejoice !
Edmond,
an upgrade kit should include the operational maps, the LOC map, all the counters, the rules booklet, the scenarios booklet, the tables booklets, the cards, the field manual, the two geolocated bases maps and a box to hold everything. What is left out are two player aids charts (actually those too are different from the previous ecehelons), and the two dice…
So… I got a little too eager punching out counters for the 4th echelon and didn’t read ahead of time in the rules that countersheet 9R was a replacement countersheet (at least for a number of the counters). And now they’re all intermingled with the original countersheets 1-8. Oops.
Is there a scan available (doesn’t have to be hi-res, just readable) of countersheet 9R so that I can identify the actual replacement counters?
I’m not home right now, but I’ll be able to upload an image in a few days.
Thank you, Fabrizio, that would be awesome.
Fabrizio, any update on being able to post/provide a scan of countersheet 9R?
Sorry, i forgot! First thing tomorrow.
