From: thorn@godot.radonc.unc.edu (Jesse Thorn) I would appreciate info on references to post-Korean War Soviet militiary vehicles, in particular AFVs and APCs. Of interest would be basic technical data, scale drawings, photos, and service evaluations (e.g. in MidEast conflicts and Afghanistan). Reply by another posting or email. I'll sumarize if there is sufficient interest. Thanks, Jesse Thorn North Carolina Memorial Hospital Radiation Oncology Chapel Hill, NC UUCP: ...!mcnc!godot!thorn, INTERNET: thorn@godot.radonc.unc.edu

From: dg-rtp!gross@rtpdoc.dg.com (Gene Gross) I am researching the Soviet military-- in particular the elite units of the Soviet military. Of particular interest is the group called Spetznaz (spell??). In my preliminary research, I found out that these units practice against living targets called "puppets." Is this true? What is known about the formation, recruitment procedures, training, deployment, etc.? I am not looking for classified info, only good publically available sources of information, and, being a recent reader of this newsgroup, I figured this would be a good place to start. Also, one last question, having made it through Airborne and Ranger training (among others), how would that compare to what the Soviets put their elite units through. Gene Gross Rangers Lead The Way.

From: alton@wpi.wpi.edu (Alton J Reich) I am preparing to run a game of Harpoon that will involve a simulation of WWIII. In order to make the game more realistic, I am trying to get a list of U.S. Navy vessels. I'm looking for the following information: name, number, class. I'd also like a list of Soviet vessels as well. I've already sent away to the Dept. of the Navy, but I don't know if they'll respond to my request (it does seem a bit unusual). If anyone has such a list that they can e-mail, please contact me via e-mail. If someone has it on paper, e-mail me and we can arrange for photocopying and mailing. Thanks in advance. ************************************************************** N ever I have seen all that has been, * Alton J.
