An unexpected bonus from my Navy vet friend

I stopped by his place to drop off some ship kits, he was going through his kits and passed these over
Soviet Anti-tank gun. May end up as support for my North Koreans

A Sherman Crab tank

A HUMVV

 Armed survivors, who could join the illregulars I have now. 

ZOMBIES, or civilian casualties.

Battle for bremerhaven August 1985

Soviets and East Germans vs germans and dutch
Warsaw Pact forces advance towards the West Germans and Dutch

Soviet Artillery begins to drop rounds

Ian plans his next move 

ensuring that his Artillery has found mine

 I attempted to halt his advance by rushing my armor into a breach but I just created a parking lot of knocked out tanks
Warsaw Pact victory but was fun to have an opponent. Ian says he will take me on again.
We also were able to flesh out our understanding of the rules. From what I understand, you only have to do saving throws for infantry stands. Everything else, gets blasted!

 the Soviets were extremely aggressive and took out the Chieftain tanks quickly 
Despite a valiant defense the Irish were defeated, Ian's second victory of the day

Last battle of tank 208, Soviet t72 vs Uk chieftain

My son and I have decided to try out this action as a way to flesh out the rules.

A Soviet T-72 company inches forward

A lone Centurian awaits the Soviets. Having gotten lost in a very quick withdrawl, the commander is giving a Scout briefing to the British units to his rear.
Despite their efforts the crew were forced out,  however they were able to radio of the oncoming advance of Soviet and German forces. The T-72s were fast on the draw. Having come on on the sides, the Chieftian was quickly taken out, however, the crew were able to bail out.

Air Support for NATO and Warsaw Pact

Recently I was able to visit the local aircraft museum which has a wonderful museum of older model kits. I was able to get a Frogfoot jet for my Soviets,
Which is now part of the 1st Assault Aviation Division

an Mi25 Hind Helicopters for my East Germans, a Lynx chopper for my British and I completed a Bloodhound Missle as a game objective. As well as a Harrier.
I was able to build the kits as I has some time while at work to on them while at my guard post.
Pictures will follow
Oh and the 3 Chieftain tanks, now have 7!
