I was in a Reforger unit that participated in a huge command post exercise to war game a Sov conventional attack in Europe. It worked out pretty much like the ground war description in Clancy's Red Storm Rising. We took serious losses, but attrited the Warsaw Pact so badly that their offensive ran out of steam about half way across West Germany. I always wondered if Clancy was privy to the results of that.

Clancy's Red Storm Rising

One of his best books. Had a computer game and a board game based on Reforger. As NATO I was always able to stop the Soviet advance on the Rhine but the Fulda Gap forces usually were overrun quickly.

I think that was the 11th ACR's territory. Any way it came down, they were gonna get hit pretty hard.

WELL SAID!

after the TERRIBLE Monday afternoon she had, i was AFRAID for her. and i came to the foxhole, among my FR-friends & asked for PRAYERS on her behalf.

she was MUCH better before NIGHTFALL & continued improving all night.

i can't explain the MASSIVE change in how things went for duckie, other than to say I BELIEVE PRAYER WORKS!
