Soviets and Czechs vs American and Canadian

 So a Soviet force with Czechoslovakian back up attack a line of hills held by American and Canadian forces 

Infantry basing, Plastic Soldier Company Soviet Infantry

 I decided to buy a set of urban rubble infantry bases. For the most part, they work for Team Yankee, just a few bits are of Second World War so they can be bits and pieces which found themselves in use again.

Hey, just look at Ukraine, and Bosnia had lots of old kit being used. 

HQ section

Currently, I will be using the bases for my Soviets, but now that I have seen them, I will look into getting more for my future units.

I'd like to do a British or Canadian force in the rural bases.

And in 2025, I'm painting another set.

ANZAC Brigade 1st Armoured Regiment marches on

 So I was able to get another set of Leopards which had the ANZAC cards as well as the Dutch and Canadian cards.

The bad news is I'm out of super glue, but as the local store here in Nunavut has rubber cement to repair tires I have an alternative source. Which has worked just fine.

However I have a squad in green which will just have to do until I get glue back to build the next 5 I just got plus the 4 I still have to build.

And not to mention the additional 10 that arrived from the Aviation Museum in Nova Scotia which are now the 1st Cavalry Regiment.

NATO is getting ready for an offensive.

So the 1st Cavalry Regiment will have 

HQ of 2 Leopard 1

2 troops of 4 Leopard 1 each need to get painting on them. I'm humming and hawing on if I'll do them in Soviet green or the multi camo.

Land Rover Anti-tank 2 troops with 2 gun buggies each

Cavalry patrol M113 fire support with M113s (need to get the actual ones, I'm using Vietnam outfitted ones at the moment.)

The infantry section is mostly Vietnam looking but the Milan teams I did up in the 1980s uniforms.

T-55 Warsaw Pact

 My initial T-55 which I was able to get were the Roco ones in the 1990s. Eventually, I painted them as East Germans.

Polish ones without the special paint job

one of the first Plastic Soldier kits I built as a very vanilla one

My entire T-55 tanks a mixed division now. This one has Polish, Hungarian and East German

In the 2000s, my then wife allowed me to order some metal kits for my birthday around 2002, those kits have likewise added to the Polish and Hungarian force.

Now with Team Yankee, the main Warsaw Pact Nations being Soviets, East Germans, Poles and Czechs, I'll build them as such.

 

Commonwealth vs Polish Division

 So I've set up an ANZAC, British and Canadian infantry brigade with tank and artillery support with a Harrier squadron l.

The 20th Polish Division has a T-72 Battalion with a T-55 attached company with a Motorized Rifle Battalion in a mix of BMP-2 and BTR-60.

 The Polish armor just got creamed by Milan Anti-tank weapons, so once again a NATO victory

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.

Leopards on the way

Canadian War Museum

Canadian War Museum

 I ordered a Battlefront Minatures Leopard 1 set while the Aviation museum curator is selling me 2 sets from Plastic Soldier Company. And after they arrived, I ordered 2 more!

So my NATO forces will be larger for the Canadian, Dutch and Australian force.

After building the first set of 5, I decided that the ten I had to build will become Canadian while the next 10 will be Australian. The box of 5 from Battlefront will become Dutch.

Each set I'm getting has 5 per box so I'm getting 25 tanks in total which will work well when I combine my units together.

Eventually I hope to have each country to have 2 sections of 10  tanks each.

Battlefront Miniatures has also indicated that a new NATO book and a Nordic book should be coming out so I'm going to build up NATO as I've built up my Warsaw Pact forces for a while.

All sets arrived, I didnt get my Gorilla glue so instead, I used rubber cement. 

Currently my Leopard force stands at:

Royal Canadian Dragoons: 1 HQ of 3 C1s with 3 troops of 4 C1s each

1 Australian Armored Regiment 1 HQ of 2 Leopards, 2 troops of 4 Leopards each

Netherlands 1 HQ of 2 Leopards, 1 troop of Leopard 1 of 4 tanks, with Armoured Recce of 2 troops of 2 Leopards
