Kamakazi Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I am reading Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising (for like the billionth time ) and I was just sitting here thinking is that what the story line for GR is loosely based on I mean you are fighting the russians same as RSR but you are fighting for different reasons Even though you dont fight in the same place (in GR it is Poland Lithuania Georgia and in RSR it is Germany) I think there are alot of parities Does anybody else think this or am I a loner in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Red Storm Rising was primarily a battle of mechanized armies which hinged on logistical support. Hence the reason for the NATO victory: they could bring more to the battlefield more quickly than could the Warsaw Pact. This also made interdiction of NATO supply routes from the US (at Iceland) a key Soviet tactic. When it failed they lost the war. The only similarity with Ghost Recon is the bad guys speak Russian. The Russian government, its aims and objectives, battlefield, pretty much everything else is completely different from the earlier scenario. Heck, there's no longer a Warsaw Pact, and most of the old Warsaw Pact members are now in NATO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtz Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 That is also my favourite Clancy book and I agree about the atmosphere matching that of the GR game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
