Sabre Squadron 5th Article

5th Article is first expansion book for the Sabre Squadron, there is another one availible (7 days to the Rhine - Warsaw pact forces book) and another one in works (Scandinavian campaing) but now we will look at the first one.

Article 5 is  about NATO forces durning fictional WWIII, here you will find list for following nations:

• USA
• UK
• West Germany
• Canada
• Netherlands
• Belgium
• France

 But now we will look about the document, i should write the book because Article 5 is sporting insane 228 pages! But as far as know it only availible in electronic (PDF) format. In first section of the book you will find information have the company lists works with examples and then you will find nation and they forces at end of each Nation section you will example lists - so the thing is pretty intuitive.

If you want to know what exactly lists are in the book you can find contents here

Apart from Canada everyone have more than enough lists to choose from, From Recon Companies to through armoured and mechanised and even Aircav formations. Even at first glance it is seen how much effort has been put into this book.

However since Sabre Squadron is open system for Modern wargaming, the 5th article doesnt contain any fluff which in my opinion is great, because you can use the list even in non-WWIII scenario for example some British list can be used in Falkland War set games.

In my opinion if you are wanting playing Sabre Squadron  games set in 80ties whatever Cold War gone hot scenarios or not the 5th Article is more than worth for 8 british pounds. 

What is this blog about?

What is Sabre Squadron?
Sabre Squadron is ruleset for modern combined arms, released about 2 or 3 years ago, containing all the modern stuff you want armoured vehicles, ATGMs, drones, airsupport what you want it is there (well apart from Armatas and third world tank hybrids) . From Tank battles like Battle of Easting 73 or Battle of Chinese farm to infantry battles like Battle of Goose Green to clash in Fallujah, Sabre Squadron can simulate many kinds of battle conventional ones and asymetric too.

Scale
Unlike many games meant for modern combined arms, the ruleset is made for 1:1 that means 1 model of tank represent one vehicle, base of infantry fireteam or squad. Also the rules are scale modelling independent, from 3mm up to 20mm you can use any models from your collections but for me i prefer microarmor or so called 6mm




Why this blog?
Sabre Squadron is spiritual ancestor for games like WRG or Challenger, trying to portrait true face of modern armoured and infantry warfare from reinforced company point of view and IMHO the game do this very well. But since there wasn´t much propagation from author i will try to support the game this way and made it more often seen of various platforms (FB, blogs, forum, youtube etc.) and conventions

Where can i buy these rules?
Here on official webpages of game you can buy them, as well as two expension PDFs containg "armylists" for fictional world war III scenarios.
