Air Cobra: 1975-1988 Modern Tactical Airmobile Warfare, is OSG's first simulation of modern air-mobile warfare in Europe. The focus is on actual helicopter operations between the forces of the Warsaw Pact and the NATO Alliance, from troop transport to recovery missions, air-mobile insertions to tank hunting, rescue to reconnaissance. Over 20 Helicopters from four nations (Great Britain, the USSR, West Germany, and the U.S.) and their accompanying ground forces are represented."
West End Games would later redesign the Air Cobra system and release it under the name Air Cav.
