RDF - Rapid Deployment Force

Excellent Un-punched Copy

RDF is a hypothetical tactical platoon level wargame in the Persian Gulf, with six scenarios, each representing a separate hypothetical confrontation between the forces of the United States, Soviet Union, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. Each Game turns represents 10 minutes of real time, each hexes are 200 meters.

The map is a real terrain analysis of an area in Syria approximately 20km north of the Jordanian border, and is typical of Middle Eastern terrain found in Syria and parts of Iran.

Units are rated for weapon and target class, air defense rating, strength, and range. Helicopters have an indirect fire and agility rating as well.
Rules cover Company Frontages, Battalion Depth, Axis of Advance, LOS and indirect Fire, Multiple Weapon Systems, Morale, and Air Strikes.
