(Nato operatives secure the Ice Station) This was a pre-Christmas multiplayer game mixing up bits of Operation Coldfeet with Ice Station Zebra and letting me get into action those new Khurasan guys in Parkas … For the basic battle we shipped AK-47 classic out of Africa and put it on ice … That ticks a lot of boxes for me … and I hope you will get it too ..P.B.Eye-Candy/IC-47 for more …
It's a scenario that has everything …

Very impressed with the set up and sub! Looks like a fun game. |

Since others have made the temperature-related puns, I'll just say… There's snow getting around it, that's some 'ice work, there! |

Thanks for the kind comments … I enjoyed putting the game together and is is good to see other people getting it … FWIW it was relatively simple … the ice-scape is of course poly tiles. The main teams are from a few packs of the excellent Khurasan Parka figures
… and the submarine came from the pound shop. Then again, what our Special Forces got up to in the 1960s, real and fictional, remains priceless … Phil

I could also see your set-up used for the oil pumping station fight in the made-for-TV movie "World War III". Or John Carpenter's "The Thing". |

Ice Hunt by James Rollins . Ice Station Grendel has been abandoned for more than seventy years. The twisted brainchild of the finest minds of the former Soviet Union, it was designed to be inaccessible and virtually invisible. Would make a great scenario. |

Or John Carpenter's "The Thing". A mash-up of Ice Station Zebra and The Thing would be evil! 
Thanks for a great AAR. Ron |

Said this on Tango's thread too, but that submarine looks great! looks frozen over like the pictures from US Navy Actic lab missions. |
