There was a video game, but I don't think it was ever a movie.

Yeah, I highly recommend Cuba by Stephen Coonts. For technology race-type literature, Dale Brown's Flight of the Old Dog is good too.

I've never read any of these others, but Red Storm Rising was an excellent book.

Red Storm Rising wasn’t as good after I read Red Army by Ralph Peters.

http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/p/...s/red-army.htm

Red Army was a very good read. Obviously it’s from the Soviet soldier's view point, and NATO is not portrayed in a very good way. But after reading too many books depicting US/Nato tank platoons obliterating whole Russian regiments, this book seemed to even things out. This book just seemed more realistic then Red Storm Rising, some how.

Another book I strongly recommend is First Clash by Kenneth Macksey;
Canadian armor fighting off Soviets…

Ah, I was never a huge Clancy fan, only really got into three of his novels. Found it to be a bit dry, personally. Spare on the action and just a tad overreaching on the details.

I think boris116 is referring to Clancy's books.
