My Bulgarian force consists of a Parachute company and a mountain infantry section supported by BTR 152 carriers, IS 2 tanks, and SU 100 sp guns as Bulgaria was low on getting modern equipment
The Bulgarian special forces were small, thus they will be used in conjunction with other nations.
For my Team Yankee games, this force will fight alongside a Czechslovakian, Hungarian group.
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.

NATO: Air support Harri
And for NATO these aircraft were a great asset as they were jump jets able to take off from any area without the use of runways.
One of these is actually and Academy kit and the other is a toy car airplane

Warsaw Pact: Air support
Thanks to www.juniorgeneral.org I can print off top down files to recreate some scenarios which could have happened in the late 1980s or 1990s. It saves money on buying plastic kits which don't hold up as well as laminated paper. However I am slowly building up a small section of support aircraft
Germans forced to to fight each other
Federal Republic of Germany troops , West Germans
against
Democratic Republic of Germany, East Germans
The interesting thing was, both Germanies never fought each other, but their equipment and uniforms were used by the ethnic factions in the Yugoslavian Civil wars of 1991-95.
I am in the process of upgrading the images of my own collection to this page.

Clash of Arms 1 Para vs VDV
If the Falklands War of 1982 did one thing, it was to prove to the world how tough The Parachute Regiment was. They landed at Goose Green 700 strong, took out a 1500 man garrison, then Tabbed across East Falkland and still battled it out.
The VDV had proven its worth in the hills of Afganistan. It would have been very interesting to have seen how both would have fared on a European battlefield

Clash of Arms, 4 CMBG vs Czech MTR
One of the scenarios I had from the board game FIREPOWER, (Avalon,1984)(www.boardgamegeek.com)
was the 4CMBG holding a village against a Czech Motorized Rifle Regiment.
For the Canadian troops, I used a mixture of US Vietnam figures as Canadians with 2 Leopard 1As, 2 M113, 1 M113 TOW, 2 105mm guns and 2 M109s
The Czechs attacked with 3 T-72s, 2 T-54s 2 T55s 2 BTRs
