Helicopters are rated for armor, infrared signature (used when attacked by heat-seeking missiles), movement, and maneuverability. Rules cover terrain-following and nap-of-the-earth modes, pop-ups, landing and takeoff, laser-guided missiles, and more. U.S. helicopters include the AH-1 Cobra and AH-64 Apache attack helicopters, UH-1 and UH-60 transports, and the OH-58 observation helicopter. Soviet counterparts are the Mi-24 Hind, Mi-8, Mi-26, and Mi-2. Air defense weapons include the U.S. Sergeant York and Stinger, Soviet ZU-23, ZSU-30, SAM-7, and SAM-9. Over 400 counters provide a variety of helicopter and ground forces for both sides, including U.S. and Soviet mechanized infantry and tank battalions, airmobile infantry, armored cavalry, artillery, and regimental and brigade troops."
