Battlegroup NORTHAG - INDEX + ERRATA FAQ & HOUSE RULES + Other Files & Interesting Links

For its Cold War period gaming, my gaming group has shifted from using the Battlefront 'Team Yankee' rules to using the 'Battlegroup NORTHAG' rules published by the Plastic Soldier Company (PSC).  On balance we prefer them to Team Yankee as they are more armour focused.

Below is a listing of files, some of which I have created, and some of which I have downloaded off the Battlegroup NorthAG Facebook group.  I hope you find them useful/interesting :) 
(The relevant authors permission has been obtained).

There are four sections:
-  Rules Related                      (files and links to videos)
-  Scenario and Campaigns     (files)
-  Army Lists & Unit Cards     (files)
-  After Action Reports            (files and links to videos)

I have created a Dropbox Folder (Link) from where the files can be downloaded.

Latest files added are: 
-  No 63 Dutch Unit Cards,
-  No 64 Bundeswehr Unit Cards.
-  No 65 Danish Unit Cards.
-  No 66 Unofficial Danish Force Listing (incomplete).

80)   Unofficial - Army Builder - (currently at v2-3) by Chriss Pagan
Notes by the author:  
The password is the first word from page 2 Northag + first word from the second page CentAG.
So the password is h.......+t......
The makro is to be able to expand the groups.
If you don't want to allow it you can remove the protection from the work sheet.
