I have gradually increased the composition of my British force

NATO: West German Tank hunters

Nato tatical doctrine at the time emphasised the need to have better equipment to slow down and take out Soviet and Warsaw Pact armor.
As an interm gap, I will field some Second War Panzerjagers
Pictures of my own collection will be added

NATO: West German Armor

The Federal Republic of Germany would have had to face off against their own countrymen and the Russians.
I shall be upgrading the images with my own shortly

NATO: Canada, Royal Canadian Dragoons.

Originally I had posted about my Canadian Armor from the folks over at www.juniorgeneral.org  "Platoon" is a very gifted artist and has made an entry. Quite a cool looking bit of kit.  My step-father was in  Lord Strathconas.

The German Leopard C1 battle tank replaced the British Centurion in the Canadian Forces in 1978.

Landscape of the Cold War

Most of the buildings which I use for my Cold War games comes from Tomix rail system from Japan. While I was a single guy, I build up quite a collection of buildings and figures. Once I met my wife, these all went into storage back in Canada. If the pictures on this site are lost, I will get shots of my own gear back in storage

 Incidently, when I bought a small Asian style farmhouse, the old woman in the shop mentioned that she was born and lived in one as a little girl. There was one still next to the Shin-Kesei line in Chiba-prefecture until about 2003.

Since I have moved home and gotten my own house with a garage, I have been able to unpack and assemble many items that have been in storage since

My WARSAW PACT forces in 1/72

This set while fleshing out my Soviets, had no support weapons. 

 My Airborne and Naval Infantry were painted from these.

My East German, Hungarian, Romanian, Czech
More Airborne, suitable for Europe, North American or Afganistan!,

My West German/German units are made up of these Panzer-Grenadiers, FallschirmJager, and KRK and KSK units.

WARSAW PACT: Soviet Artillery

Soviet artillery was made up of either rockets or self-propelled guns
As of 2018, I have upgraded my artillery with a Carnation battery of 3 guns and am still working on repairing the grad rocket launcher truck
I also have a Scud missile launcher.
There is also an Arcadia battery, pictures up shortly

WARSAW PACT: Soviet Airborne Forces

Anyone who watched the film "Red Dawn" made in the 1980s will be familiar with these. The Soviet Airborne were always used in Soviet Invasions. Hungary 1956, Prauge 1968, Kabul 1979

My SCUD model is actually a ROCO minitanks version.

I'm in the process of upgrading my older postings. My American force is extremely small but potent. I shall post shortly
