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.

An unexpected bonus from my Navy vet friend

Battle for bremerhaven August 1985
Soviets and East Germans vs germans and dutch
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!
Soviet tank Division push on Bremen
Soviets hitting Irish Guards
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 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!
