Right, I'll do something about that.

This is not much of an issue, IMO.

Ad lib - they are fictional scenarios anyway. I also relay heavily on modern maps, they won't be perfect for the 1980s either. Most scenarios have NATO focus, the WP units are seldom identified.

John Hackett's book was written about ten years before 1985 so it contains a lot of guesswork and IIRC it was written as a message about the need for a strong NATO conventional capability, so nukes takes a back seat as how thing unfold. Works good for me. Thing is, now I don't have to World Build a WWIII setup.

Team Yankee makes use of Hackett's book too IIRC.
