This give me several Options for either 1:1 forces of Brigade 1:5 (Command Decision) forces for NATO. Along with the M1s, M60s, Bradleys and M113s I'm almost set for Cold War gaming. Opposed by (CD scale) 2 MRR (1 BMP, 1 BTR) and a T-72 TR (with T-55 coming soon from the factory). Just need to fill in lose bits like a few BRDM, ZSUs. I'll leave the Artillery off table for now.

Special thanks to Scale Creep and QRF

Of Course!

Warriors but no Challenger/Chally2s?

In 15mm, the only "artillery" I'd have on the table is mortars.

Most welcome – looking forward to the pictures.

I'm sure the new FoW variant will find a way to include artillery… so you can order that battery of 2S7s now :-)

Oh there are Challengers and Saxons too.

I'll get some pics up in the next few weeks.

Going to be an impressive display!

The Vietnam rules mostly have the artillery off-table, unless you're defending the firebase or a convoy.

But a 2S7 Pion (203mm gun on a T80 chassis, for those that haven't looked it up) battery *would* make a nice objective for a scenario. Keep them from firing the nuke shells!

I'd be much more likely to buy a 2S6 battery, though, Geoff. I know those will have a game use without a special scenario. (2S6 Tunguska SPAA guns and missiles)

All are assembled, getting ready to paint. Added an A-10 and an Apache. Prepped a German and British Infantry Battalion as well.
