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.

RED DAWN
The classic iconic Cold War film is now in minature and I'm in the process of building forces for the start of the conflict.
Currently, I have the ability to field Cuban, Soviet and American basic units.
With the book coming, I will see which units I will be deploying.
Which is in Nova Scotia so I'll see them when I get back

Soviet Infantry and Cubans on the way
I've ordered some more Soviet infantry via the Aviation museum in Nova Scotia and a set of Cuban Grenade launchers for the new Red Dawn series.
And some bases for my units.
Oh and some T-55s to flesh out my East Germans and to start my new Cuban force.
The T-55s arrived and I liked them so much, I ordered another set!
Currently my East Germans now have a T-55 battalion with 2 companies. Pictures to follow in the T-55 article
The infantry arrived and I have painted most of them, just waiting on bases from them. At present, I now have 2 additional companies of Soviet Infantry, while the Polish Naval Infantry division is getting fully manned.
What they will need now is some more transports. So depending on situations, they will be getting OT-64s shortly within the year. BTR-60s and BMP-1s and BMP-2s will also be increasing.
I got the new bases for the figures and Cuban grenade launcher team but still need super glue.
