Irish Guards Battlegroup 1985

This force is made up of a variety of units. I have augmented what I have with adhock mix of equipment.
One section is mounted in an FV432 while

mortar platoon

the British battle taxi

others are kitted out in 2 Humber Pigs.

Armored support comes from 17/21st Lancers in a section of 3 Chieftains with a Recce Squadron of Scorpion and Scimitars.
As well a Humber 76mm armoured car adds support.
I have built this force as I have due to the kit I have and also on the assumption that replacement kit would be lacking due to budget cuts and gear in storage.

Additional support is also found with a section of 2 Abbott Self propelled guns.

I've been able to decal the infantry sections and the mortar battery. The other AT sections I've done up in bits.

Romanian Airborne battalion

Due to the Romanian government's need to pay foreign debts, their military is lackig in the latest kit, however, they do have a battalion which can be dropped behind enemy lines.

These troops will find themselves fielded in a large Warsaw Pact Airborne assault.

As per my large amount of Warsaw Pact units as Airborne, I have modeled these troops as well.
The Bulgarians however are the lowest on the priority in the purchasing of newer kit, so they may also be fielding ww2 German weapons as well.

British 5th Infantry Brigade, 1982

This was the formation sent to the Falklands. I will also use it as a light infantry brigade/ Battle group for my Team Yankee games in 1/72.

New rules for my Cold War: Team Yankee

For my 44th Birthday, I bought Battlefront Miniatures Team Yankee World War III rule system.
Having grown up in the Cold War, I have always wanted to game this period.

i plan on buying the Iron Maiden and Volksarmee expansion.

However, half of the order i made from the company arrived, so I'm a little disappointed.
