To those of the Cold War, service personnel from all sides, as well as the civilians who suffered.
25 years since it all began to end. So glad.

A war gamming blog on the Cold War in 1/72. Emphasis on plastic figures, and equipment on all sides. Plus a smattering of Pop culture soldiers on both sides of the divide would have enjoyed.

The Cold War that hasn't ended
This week, the world was reminded of the paradox of the ongoing Korean War. Now while many want to fob off North Korea, take a moment to ponder some Cold facts.
Despite the Korean Peoples Armed Forces having Soviet era kit, that stuff can still do some damage.
Their artillery showed back in 2010 that it can still kill and maim and inflict damage.
The fact that they may have nuclear weapons puts a pause to consider that not only South Korea but Japan are also at risk.
Sony is a Japanese company, which Koreans don't have much time for.
Cancelling a movie seems to play into their hands, yet something must have really spooked them.
