Chinooks for my British

 The RAF will be pleased as I got a Chinnok to transport my Gordon Highlanders.

I built a very basic version without the rotors to save wear and tear.

I'll paint up as British.

The Red Dawn book gives rules for using these types of transport.

So between my Lynx transports and this Chinook, I can deploy the Gordon Highlanders on the battlefield, I just need to paint them.

Militia pick up trucks

 I ordered the trucks and militia but militia on backorder 

I'll have to use my Iranian Basaji.

I painted the trucks as far from military colours as I could. Be fun to run them on a table soon.

So far, they engaged their enemies with reckless abandon.

UK 1st Armoured Division

 This arrived today. More fun and games 

I built all the kits up. 

2 Lynx transports for Gordon Highlanders 

2 Scorpion tanks for either Iranian, or New Zealand, British or Belgian

4 Fox armoured cars for the TA Recce unit

2 Chieftains for Iranians or British 

5 Challenger 1 for the 

2 Warriors as infantry transports

Added to my British force from the older set

3 Chieftains built for Iran or Britain 

2 Lynx TOW flight

5 Chieftains Stillbrew

My recce force is covered in my Queens Dragoon Guards post.

American cavalry screen

 

So I was finally able to pick up 2 Humvee sets one online the other from Gametronics.

My cavalry force has TOW Anti-tank, HMG section and Stingers. Definitely going to be fun to run them on a table.

First action out they held off some Panzergrenadiers, but took a bit of a beating. The commanders need to learn to pull back.

Viva La Revolution: Cubans

my Cuban infantry are slowly getting painted. The Su-100s have been painted so they have an Anti-tank section. I'll need to paint up the T-62 section. 
 

Charlies Chieftains

 

 

So after my reenactment event I stopped by my favorite shop and picked this up. The shop hasn't had any new Battlefront Minatures kits but he's got lots of older stuff which is no longer in the BF catalogs so bonus.

I now have a proper bit of British kit. And with the Iranians I can field for both armies, I'll just have a basic Olive color for these units.

A T-55 just passes through. I picked this up in Goderich Ontario
