The excellence of the M109 self-propelled howitzer is evidenced by the fact that it is used by every Western army on NATO’s Central Front apart from the French. The M185 155mm howitzer fires a wide variety of ammunition, including conventional high explosive, DPICM (Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions) bomblets, scatterable minelets, and Copperhead laser-guided projectiles out to a range of 18 km (11 miles).

With the end of the Second World War in 1945, many hoped peace would follow. Instead, for forty years, East and West have faced off across armed borders.

Now it's 1985, and the Cold War just got hot!
