NATO Division Commander - the old SPI game? My word, that brings back some memories!

Yep, the very same.

It looks very fiddly compared to some more 'modern' games but that's just an initial impression and can be totally wrong. I'd mentioned a few ideas to Greg Smith (Nightfighter Ace, Interceptor Ace, etc.) and he thought it would be a good idea to actually have the game rather than just the rules, and I'd been on the fence about it already. Plus I had a bit of credit with them, so why not.

Hope those memories of yours on this game are good, Bawb! :)

I remember a group of us played it, and, whilst it was interesting, I seem to recall it was also bloody hard work! :-)

I think that the concept behind it was quite ground-breaking at the time. Also Red Star/White Star got a lot of table time as did the old monster 'Next War' also both by SPI.

Just checked the shipping notification in mine is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I hope nothing happens to it since we are going to be about an hour away at a funeral all afternoon and into the evening 😔

So - I had The Dogs of War and shamefully let it go (for a profit) because I wanted to give my daughter some extra money for Uni.

This has piqued my interest in the series again - so I've just bought this (which I never had) in the hopes they release a 2nd Echelon of The Dogs of War.

Well, after a long pause in Greece we are back to our favourite, familiar and apocalyptic World War Three environment! Ah, nothing better than the smell of napalm in the morning.

Here's the first complete, almost approved version of the map for the C3 Module #4 - In a Dark Wood. Actually, Tony is still griping about it, but that's not big news...He always does :D

The map is slightly bigger than the Less Than 60 Miles one, in order to include the whole US VII Corps Area of Responsibility.


as always, it's fun to check out the maps and find the places you used to live :)
