DDR Panzer Regiment 22 Soja Kosmodemjanskaja

 This regiment is equipped with 

1HQ

5x T-55AM2

5x T-55AM2 Raketenpanzer (AT-10 missle), shall we say, Panzer snipers?

5x T-55. Regular vanilla types

One of these companies is painted in basic green to be used in any Communist force

This regiment would be used to support the Motorized Panzergrenadiers.  While the tanks are older, they can still pick off NATO recce elements and can be used to dig out entrenched infantry, and those in buildings.

DDR Panzer Regiment 23 Julian Marchlewski

 This battalion is equipped with the T-72B

1 HQ

2x 4 tanks

I'll need to paint them 

These are the premier Panzers of the 9th Division.

The best of Soviet engineering to strike fear into the puppets of the West Germans Facists.

ANZAC and Netherlands vs East Germans and Polish, Almeldo Netherlands August 14, 1985

The ANZAC and Dutch have put a fair bit of kit in the wooded section with a section of ploughed fields, made of felt furniture pieces.

Gun buggies are rearing to go up the road note the new entrenchment pieces I made from furniture felt pieces picked up in one of the stores in Sanirjak, Nunavut.

East German, Polish and a small Soviet contingent at the start line

The Polish T-55 regiment readies to advance.

 The NATO offensive continues. While the East Germans and Polish Division push south west, NATO forces are blocking the Warsaw Pact drive. 

The initial Warsaw Pact advance saw them rush into contact. The Warsaw Pact recce units tried to rush into town but were stopped by the Dutch armor and Dutch reservist infantry. 5/7th RAR gun buggies were able to halt the BTR-60s while the Australian Cavalry recce halted the Warsaw Pact infantry rush on the entrenched Milan teams.

Autobahn Firefight Sovietys vs British

 A British and Australian force are holding one of the last exits on the Autobahn against a Soviet tank division.

This was a very hard fought battle. Eventually with a hard push by the Soviets, they neutralized the Royal Artillery and surged to flank the last remains of the Death or Glory boys, but it did cost them an entire tank Battalion

East German Revolt 1954

East germans vs Soviets

This game will utilize some Ww2 German kit and obviously Soviet kit from the end of Ww2.

The East Germans have realized that the glorious Communist liberation has not resulted in the rehabilitation of Germany.

Germans who have been able to get their hands on weapons are in open rebellion against the East German army and the Soviets.

It should be an interesting game. I shall use Flames of War and Team Yankee rules

Who with their fanatics are willing to die

The NATO counter offensive has begun! The French 3eme Division Blinde with Belgian and Dutch support is poised to punch back at the East Germans.

East German Panzer Division.

The French were more aggressive than thought and the Belgians and Dutch also tore into the East Germans.

For a third time, a German army was pushed out of the border regions of Belgium. A significant victory for NATO

Battle for schonebeck August 1985

This scenario I have revamped tweaking the scenario in the book, with an alternative point based force for both sides.

This attack on the down, has a French led force, with Belgian and Danish help, to stop an East German and Polish push.

The Soviets are regrouping for another hot at NATO. The other Warsaw Pact divisions are being given a crack at NATO forces to test their metal, and to give the Soviets a chance to halt.

However, the Germans and Poles are being supported by a battery of Soviet Carnations, a squadron of Storms and a Squadron of Gaskins.

It's been awhile since the French have faced off against the Warsaw Pact so we shall see how it goes. Additional NATO support is being rushed to the area and will arrive as reserves

And amazingly enough, it is a French victory! The combination of Dutch mortars, and Belgian reservist units halted the Warsaw Pact advance. So a victory for NATO
