By popular demand, CPG is holding a last-minute Team Yankee event before we return to WWII / Flames!
An alternate 1989 - the Berlin Wall has fallen - as Soviet forces spill over the border! Yes, the Cold War has gone hot once again. Funny how that happens around here...
"Red Blizzard" will explore NATO and Warsaw Pact forces conducting their planned missions, culminating in a clash of remnant warlords in a postwar wasteland!

Fair play and good sportsmanship, as always, will be a key focus of this event. Veteran players should take it upon themselves to explain what they are doing and why to any less experienced opponents to reduce confusion, and encourage them to come to future events.
The current rulebook (WW3-01) and most recent Lessons From the Front will be used. Missions from the Flames of War "More Missions" pack WILL be used:

Red vs. Blue matching will be attempted for Games #1 and #2.
