Scenario Preview: Sword Point

[Jimmywax]

Good news, I found it in one of my books. So now I know what it is and I have pictures to prove it.

PH, a leopard and Hawkeye uh? I don't know, maybe just this once. Which leopard do you want? I think there are a couple different versions right?

Just out of curiosity, what is the unit in the above preview. It is on the far right in the middle, north of the airfield, west of Mazar.

Not a Leopard, a Jaguar. It`s a ground attack plane (I believe) used mainly by the British and the French. You don`t have to do them if you don`t feel up to it at the moment, so don`t feel under any pressure.

I'm sorry, I must have had my head up my you know what. I don't know why I saw Leopard. A jaguar could be possible. I will see what I can do.

Excellent News a FAN!!! lol
Yes ravagon you are right it is based exclusively on the book "Sword Point" and you are right about the author. Of course i will edit a few little bits to get the playability right but otherwise it will be as faithful to the book as i can.
Jimmywax the unit is a T-64BV however if you have a better one that will do lol. But its a T-64.
Jimmywax i look forward to hearing when you have the units ready
Now off to do more revision!

Here are all the units from my scenario. quite a few are borrowed and edited. i could only get them in jpeg form so the quality is suffering a bit

Enjoy

Grothgar, from what I remember of the book, an American Aircraft Carrier gets sunk, sparking outright war between the US and USSR. As a result, you might be interesed in using this photo for the scenarios title

(BTW, its an actual photo of a major deck fire on the USS Enterprise)
