Back to the original topic. Would be cool if games and mapboards could be joined into one large map, but it's likely the games will be using a different scale. Putin Strikes is about Brigades and Divisions, and the map covers the area bw Black Sea and Gulf of Finland. Not likely Northern War will be done in such grand scale.

I don't know - after reading the description, it sounds like they're at the same scale. They also specifically state it can be combined with Putin Strikes in a Grand Campaign scenario. Hopefully there'll be a Vassal mod and we can try it out!

That's right, both games are with half week turns and 20mi hexes. There's no pictures of maps nor counters for Northern War yet, but yeah the signs are there they're compatible.

We'll find out I am sure.

We haven't had active SAAB Draken's since mid 1990's, so not sure what's going on there...  :D

QuoteThe press proofs for Putin Strikes arrived a while back and after examination, were approved. This means that the game should hit the ocean for our shores very shortly if it hasn't already. Below  are some photos of the game.

Have you ever tried NATO Nukes & Nazis? I am wondering what's the ruleset complexity. This seems to be of similar scale, or that's at least the impression I've got.

No, haven't tried it. Seems interesting, but not one I've grabbed yet.
