Cold War Scenarios?

[antostor]

Hi there,

I've been reading a lot about the Cold War recently, and it inspired me to a game of civ. Regretably, I don't have my old FW with the WW79 handy, and have to settle for Test of Time. Does anybody know if any Cold War scenarios have been made or converted for Test of Time?

Regards,

First Strike is an excellent scenario, but I don't think its much fun single player.

I've heard great things about Iron Curtain, but never played it.

I´m sure there are many others but I don't trcall any right now.

With most Cold War scenarios in single player, you'll want to disable the nuclear weapons in the rules text (you can just make them 0 movement). Otherwise, the AI just uses them too liberally for it to be fun.

I am in the design stage of making my own scenario about the Cold War for ToT. It will be some time before it sees the light of day, but if this is a period that interests you, I'd be more than happy to hear your ideas in its forum here

Does anyone have the files for First Strike? The link on the Scenario League wiki seems to be broken.

Here are both the MGE and ToT version.
I haven't played the ToT version, but I think it's no doubt just as good or even better than the MGE one. There are a few extra units too, although they can't be viewed in the civiliopedia, so you'll have to refer to the rules file to see what they do. Or just guess...

Just remember to disable nukes like John Petroski said!

These are great SCNs.
But is there any SCN that are more focused on non-nuke style cold war turn hot, rather than keep it cold?

I know there's the fictional scenarios Soviet Steel I & II, though they have an alternate timeline.

Thank you!

Now all I need to find is the newer graphics pack for the Yugoslav Wars MGE and i'll be set with something to play forever

 

[Arthedain]

This?

I created a Cold War scenario for MGE some time ago that I still have, though it starts in 1979 and has just one unified, not two, NATO players. If this is of interest to anyone, please let me know.

Lets have a look then.

Here it is.

I'm having trouble with the attachment manager. It doesn't seem to want to upload my .zip file. Can someone please help?

Is the attachment too large? The maximum for zips is 10MB. Could you compress it more by making it a rar file?
