I've almost finished reading Colin Gee's Red Gambit series about the Russian invasion of Europe in August 1945.

See http://www.redgambitseries.com/

Most of the battles use late war kit. However the Russians also use T-44s and IS-IIIs whilst the British get to play with pre-production Centurion MK Is with 17 pdrs

Would it be possible to add these into the BKC2 lists?

As BKC2 has a generic list for AVBCW maybe there could be a list for Red Gambit/WW2.5 list

I'm not looking to generate armies - just the stats to fit into BKC2

The first thing I did was check to see which ruleset could be used

Yes the Centurion MK1 & IS-III are in CWC.

However 95% of the vehicles in Red Gambit are standard WW2 so it seems easier to convert these 3 items to the BKC2 format

Yes it would be better to add it to BKC as the WW2 stats are downgraded in CWC.

Always wanted to do a series of games based on the Berlin Airlift getting nasty. Got a load of Tumbling dice jets (Shooting Stars and German prototypes that the soviets copied)

No, no, mustn't start a new project!

Well I was planning to either gt a 3d printer or a laser cutter for a Xmas pressie to myself.

The laser cutter might be more viable Smile

Downloaded too, no idea when I'm going to get round to reading it all though as I've got a couple of dozen recent free downloads of various gaming related stuff already.
