That looks great. Are the ground units abstracted or are minis used for all of them as well?

Once again I'm confronted with the cold fact that I've neither the time, money, nor opportunity for gaming with minis. Had I merely the latter I'd find a way to make the former two work.

You can use minis for ground units, but they're covered in much less detail than the choppers.

God I hate reading these forums sometimes.

Ok, so Hind Commander looks insane and I think I'm going to impulse buy it.

I hate you guys.  I hate you guys so much.   >:(

Expensive day for me, today.

Not only did I order Hind Commander and a set of minis to go with it, but I picked up A.W.A.C.S. as well.

Arm Weapons And Climb Solo

Product catalog number: AWACS-001

Product Description:
Arm Weapons And Climb Solo - Gulf War is loosely based on the events of the First Gulf War, but isn't a typical, realistic and historically accurate ruleset. Instead, you can expect quick, thrilling and fun B-movie style action!

The players take various roles, from leading Allied fighter sweeps, Iraqi counterattacks or stealth bombings of SAM batteries, destroying SCUDs hidden at the end of a well defended valley. The scenarios may be played on 3 difficulty levels, and the players may easily create their own missions, and may share them with others on the official Assault Publishing forum!

Anything that includes Hinds is automatically better than anything that doesn't.
