You also cant go past "Red Storm Rising" by Tom Clancy as a must read for this genre.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing them in action!Paul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-40091285415514801482017-05-09T20:44:35.649+01:002017-05-09T20:44:35.649+01:00Don't forget that the ZSU23/4 is a divisional ...Don't forget that the ZSU23/4 is a divisional asset. So flufftastically, you're playing a division. <br /><br />I can recommend the novel "Team Yankee"; it is contemporaneous although fictional account by a serving officer. The ending doesn't even hint at the disparate nature of the Warsaw Pact forces that you mention although I suspect most readers of such esoterica are Zzzzzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363838253700265309noreply@blogger.com
