With an unfortunate synchronism with real world events,
1985: Mutual Assured Destruction is here.
1985: Mutual Assured Destruction
Category: Under An Iron Sky
It Started in the Shipyards
Kev Sharp from Big Board Gaming is now caught in the “It Started in the Shipyards” campaign from 1985: Under an Iron Sky!
Soviet Union faces a Warsaw Pact in full revolt, and events force NATO to extend Article 5 from “defense of member countries” to “defense of member peoples”….thus including Germans on the East side of the Inner German Border.
Connections Online – Seminar on the 1985 Series
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 offer some hindsight on the design process & the decisions to take.
Live event was at April 16th 1200ZT, on Connections Online, and recorded session is here below.

Vive la France, Vive la Republique!
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!
1985 Series – Japanese Rules!
Once again, Grognard Emeritus Kaya Moriya translated the whole “1985” set of rules into Japanese! Kudos to him!
1985:UAIS Third Echelon Entering East Germany
1985: Under an Iron Sky – Third Echelon will begin production printing in a few days! As we’re going to mobilize several extra divisions to be used as strategic reserve for conventions and so on, it will be possible to order a copy for a few more days.
Last chance to Report For Duty, before KGB reports you!
