1985: Deadly Northern Lights VASSAL
The VASSAL Module for 1985: Deadly Northern Lights is finally here!
Being a monster game, we have a monster module. Due to size and security measures, we had to create zip files containing zip files. Follow these steps to create the module and start your Scandinavian campaigns:
1. Download the two parts of the module:
1985DNL_A.zip
1985DNL_B.zip
2. Unzip the two files in the same directory. This will create two files named 1985 DNL.zip and 1985 DNL.z01
3. Unzip the 1985 DNL.zip file only.
This will create the final 1985 DNL.vmod module by combining the zip and z01 files.
A big thanks to our Combat Engineer John Rainey, to our lead playtester Dominik Häufler and to the others who made this possible!
EDIT 20210827 ZT: Module has been updated to version 1.02, adding missing Convoy markers, Hide Pieces Button and more. You will need the latest version of VASSAL to use it.

1985: Deadly Northern Lights VASSAL Playtest
- Do you enjoy cold water and sub-arctic climate?
- Do you crave for spending whole days inside a converted civilian ferry that could be sunk any time by a Soviet Kilo submarine?
- Your idea of a wonderful weekend is being stranded on a Norwegian cliff surrounded by 4000 Russian trying to kill you?
- Do you own 1985: Deadly Northern Lights?
If you’ve answered YES to all of the above, then 1985: Deadly Northern Lights VASSAL playtest is for you!
You will test the Order of Battle and the module functions, and if you are really bold you could also be enlisted for preparing one or more scenario setup.

Brezhnev Took Afghanistan, Begin Took Beirut…
….and COVID took the Wargaming Conventions.
As there will be no conventions in the foreseeable future, we decided to send to the front the strategic reserve of copies kept until now for conventions usage. In plain terms, this means:
- 15 copies of 1985: Deadly Northern Lights, with shipping from Europe, are immediately available to the fastest guns.
- 50 copies of 1985: Under an Iron Sky Third Echelon, with shipping from US and Europe, will be available soon.
As a side note, 1985: Under an Iron copies are now moving to the distribution points….Europe shipping should begin next week, US and Canada could take a little longer as they have to traverse the North Atlantic SLOC.
Oh well that’s it….The Convention Is Dead, Long Live to the Convention!
SITREP 20200730 1300 ZT: Following the tradition of the previous offensives, this one too was fast and bloody. 1985:DNL copies are gone, but stay tuned in the next few days for the fifty 1985:UAIS ones!
SITREP 20200804 1836 ZT: The 50 remaining copies of 1985: Under an Iron Sky – Third Echelon are now available on the product page!
