Air Defence Network

Much of the past weeks have gone into research of the Air Defence Networks of both NATO and Warsaw Pact.
As there were no rules in the underlying game system covering this matter I had to become very creative. ;-)
I have re-read the rulebooks of some games covering the subject. A very good german book about the "Bundesluftwaffe" gave me worthy informations and most of all the website of www.usarmygermany.com really helped me to get the picture.
Now I know what NADGE, GEADGE, 421L and such stands for. Implementing it into a rule was not such a big thing as I thought of in the beginning. Of course the rule has to be playtested but for now I'm quite happy with it. It's simple yet renders the impact of ground based air defense nicely.
Remains the HAWK and Patriot missile units. I would hate to cluster the map with fixed missile-sites and would hate even more to put more counters on the map. I'm playing with the idea of abstracting that part of the air-war.
