Would it not be worth to try to tow here ore was the risk of Soviet/Cuban air ore naval attacks still to high in 1988.

I had this, but is it canon ore do i need to edit it. Photo: During a combat patrol 260 km off the Atlantic coast of Florida a fire broke out onboard the Barbel-class submarine USS Bonefish (SS-582).

Two Tank Armies crashing into the Dutch and West Germans... and with the PGM shortage, this is going to be a tough one to stop. Good work again, and get with 389!

Matt over at AH.com you have posted that the Kuznetsov was scrapped but i over this year have posted these, i am not happy that they are no longer canon as the pics and the post i made fit in the Red Dawn verse. Photo I, the Russian Republic Navy flagship, the Aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov duri...

But by 1989 they where not neutral anymore, ore am i wrong.

This photo is of Dutch marines cross training during a joint exercise with the USMC in Florida (1989), we now that British forces where present in Florida for the invasion of Cuba, can we make it canon that the Dutch Marines are part of the United Kingdom/Netherlands Amphibious Force (UK/NL AF) unde...
