It's December, 1985, after having enjoyed Christmas, MI6 gets intelligence that the Soviets intend to use the holidays as a distraction to try and invade Germany.
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.

RCEME and Service Battalions hard at work
This is just some of the kits I have to work on to bring up to strength.
It took me roughly 3 years to get most of the broken kits back together for action on the tabletop. There are more units which will be put back together during the summer of 2020.

Fallschirmjager Battalion 263
Fallschirmajager Battalion 313
Fallschirmjager Battalion 373
Airborne Support Battalion 272: This will be modeled by 3 Wolf Jeeps 2xMG3 1XTOW

This has been a very long work in progress. I bought the kit in Japan in 2003. It was kept in storage from 2003-2015. I only began working on it in 2016!
And still I haven't finished it!
Today I might get

some work done on it.
This has since been painted up to represent the Highlanders (Seaforth, Gordon and Cameron's)
