why the fuck hasn't this been made into a movie yet?
>Team Yankee is a techno-thriller novel written in 1987 by Harold Coyle, then a major in the United States Army, whose subject is the actions of a company-sized armor unit of the United States Army in the World War III scenario as depicted by General Sir John Hackett in his novel, The Third World War: The Untold Story. General Hackett's scenario takes place in 1985; Coyle never specifies the year, but it is assumed to take place in the late 1980s. While Hackett's book emphasizes strategy and world politics, Coyles features the experiences of the tank crews and infantrymen fighting on the front lines. >The novel has as a theme the actions of a company-sized armor unit of the United States Army in the World War III scenario as depicted by General Sir John Hackett in his novel, The Third World War. It also deals with, to a lesser degree, the reactions of men facing combat for the first time, and how they react after seeing combat.
it hits all the right spots >tank porn >cold war porn >cold war aesthetic porn >warsaw pact porn >copious amounts of action that would translate great to the screen Tell me it wouldn't be fantastic
>Team Wankee Red Storm Rising and Red Army are better.

They wouldn't sell as films very well at all
Eli Bell
Red army might actually be really good in a Christopher Nolan movie. If not, do it as a mini series
Liam Fisher
It's hard to do speculative Cold War fiction these days, user.
Ethan Mitchell
No its not, games like red dragon and world in conflict sold very well. It wasn't really cold war, but everyone got so wet over that Man in the high castle Netflix series too. Just because the majority of the modern audience didn't live through it doesn't mean it cant land, you just have more to convey.
Luis Bailey
How so If a good director like Nolan gets his hands on it he can do it and make it great. But what I was getting at is that simply put, people be dumb. They wouldn't like a red army movie simply because muh commies. It's much safer to do team Yankee because merica fuck yeah, not to mention that you could get actual M1A1s to use in the movie and other cold war American vehicles than say, T72s or T80s.

I just got this book as a gift today. What a coincidence. I liked Red Storm Rising and would really like to see a mini-series done about it if it was given the proper budget.
Are there any more recent WW3 stories based on NATO vs Warsaw Pact? With all the info now, it could be a lot less speculating and a lot more trying to run a scenario with realistic tactics, resources, and units.
Bestest idea for this. >Fury 2:Electric Boogaloo >Literally have the cast as a M1A1 in Germany >keep the reasons why it happened vague >the cast just starts shit talking and joking >then shit gets serious, people start dying >most of the Soviet vehicles are CGI, and at realistic ranges >show refugees and the sheer panic WW3 is a good example of what I'm going for.

Bump
Nolan Nelson
UM no because they gotta remake Batman for the 6 gorrillionth time, do another star wars movie, another Transformers movie, 10 more capefag movies need redone and Shindlers List needs to be released in 4k HD with interviews from a brand new batch of 30yo Auschwitz survivors for your viewing pleasure.

>Shindlers List needs to be released in 4k HD with interviews from a brand new batch of 30yo Auschwitz survivors for your viewing pleasure. Don't make such tasteless jokes like that. My nephew was in the holocaust and had to watch as the Nazis skinned entire train cars of people and turned them into tents to house those that remained. Hes only 12 and he had to bear witness to such atrocities, and yet you just sit there in your dorm room listening to modest mouse and think that you have to right to make glib jokes about it? Fuck you. Enjoy your visit from the ADL you fucking antisemitic putz.
I found team yankee quite disappointing, very over hyped and characters were very poor stereotypes. Combat was a bit convoluted.
If you want a armour story in the vein of Red Storm Rising then i would highly reccomend a British book called 'Chieftains'. Despite the name there is some combat from behind enemy lines SAS, M1 Abrams and British armoured regiments.
Is it on tabletop simulator? I'd love to play with some frens :3
Xavier Smith
Flame of war is. Not sure about yankee.
Jayden Cooper
I read that book.
it's boring
Matthew Nguyen
Because nowadays media like that would do poorly. Man in the High Castle is popular because it's stronk women and literal Jews fighting evil Nazis and filled with clumsly DRUMP metaphors.
A Cold War gone hot movie/miniseries wouldn't have that, and thus wouldn't be as popular AND be panned by critics unless they made the required political rants to "start a conversation"
Christopher Barnes
>Invasion Alaska I didn't know other people had actually read that, neat.
Levi Jones
Out of all of the books mentioned in this thread Red Army is definitely the one that's most suited for an adaptation into a mini series deal, and the one most deserving of it desu.
The characterization is top notch in its niche, and with how a lot of scenes are described I see a lot of potential for actual kino.
Adrian Rivera
Seryosha was a bit of a cunt desu
Jaxson Jenkins
Wouldn't mind seeing ArcLight as a miniseries
Matthew Rivera
Vuaghn Heppner is one of those authors that I enjoy pretty much anything he writes.
Same with Thomas A. Watson, Richard Fox, Bobby Akart, Sam Sisavath and a couple others.
Blake Rivera
Because I've read star wars fan fic that was better written.
