By popular demand, our new topic is The Price of Freedom by Greg Costikyan, © 1986 by West End Games (which we used mainly as Red Dawn: The Roleplaying Game).
This will be a blast from the past and a refresher for me as well as I haven't played the game in decades, not because I wouldn't enjoy it but because it's not one I can get anyone interested in. Red Dawn came out in 1984, so it's not exactly the zeitgeist these days, and even then I think people were more interested in Twilight: 2000 (© 1984 by Game Designers' Workshop).
I'm going to break this read-through up into bite-sized chunks for my own sake, and obviously the place to begin is Freedom File A, which is similar to the How to Play booklet found in West End Games' classic 1st edition Ghostbusters RPG, right down to using the same typeface on the interior pages.
