As for them being modern, they're modern when compared to, say a Sumerian Ass Chariot.

Not sure if that's true, old boy. Here is a recently discovered image:

When the modern ones are deconstructed.

Do they get turned into little cubes? That was my impression.

don't they term 1946-2000 'Modern'?

2000 and after 'Ultra Modern'?

I think there needs to be a new hobby label, myself, for post-WW2 to the late 90s warfare. Can't really label it Modern anymore.

I agree- the wire guided ATM and the spaced armour were the first game changers. The next quantum leap was thermal imaging. So we really have three discrete periods.
Early Cold War (BKC era rules ) , Late Cold War and Modern.

The Iraqi 12th Armoured did everything right (in terms of 1980s cold war tactics) but the Battle of 70-74Eastings is  a text book of innovation.  We learned that only a cold tank could survive.   Indeed US tanks barrelled past T55s that had cold engines !  Hull down is no longer enough.

Always fancied collecting an Iraqi force for Desert Storm. I blame the photos of the GHQ micro armour box set.

Back to labelling. Team Yankee is labelled as World War 3, if I remember correctly. Which is preposterous to my mind. And it's other label of Cold War Gone Hot, is only marginally better. Would have been better to just call a spade a spade and label it 1980s Europe.
