According to Anthony Beevor, in 1968 during the Prague Spring when the Soviets invaded Czechoslovakia, rogue West German generals attempted to invade East Germany – the result would have been war…
Inspired by this piquant snippet of Cold War history, and growing ever more impatient for the release of Team Yankee, I decided to adapt the Fate of a Nation stats and rules to the North German plain…. link

Nice. That is one substantial table you have there. |
| Navy Fower Wun Seven | 07 Sep 2015 4:13 a.m. PST |
Thanks mate – yes – 12 x 6 foot. It'll be an even bigger battlefield with the 15mm toys on it! |

Looks great. These are the tanks of the age I grew up in and the scenario most frequently imagined and rehearsed. Well done that man. |

Looks really good. How do you think Infantry would have affected the game ? |

Nice game A platoon or two of infantry with LAWs (which I believe BAOR had in 1968) could have made life interesting for those Russian tanks in the trees |

Awesome idea and awesome looking game! |
| nickinsomerset | 07 Sep 2015 5:16 a.m. PST |
Lovely looking game, best you think slightly earlier and invest in a Conqueror or 2! Tally Ho! |
| David in Coffs | 07 Sep 2015 5:40 a.m. PST |
Absolutely fantastic – very inspiring! |
| Jamesonsafari | 07 Sep 2015 6:16 a.m. PST |
Very cool! Always good to see Centurions blowing away T55s! Now you need some of Elheim Figures new 20mm BAOR in the mkIII helmets and SLRs. |

Very nice indeed, love Centurians |
| Captain dEwell | 07 Sep 2015 9:33 a.m. PST |
Excellent. Excellent looking game, excellent that you shared it here. I'm mightily impressed with the recent postings of Cold War scenarios. May have to take a closer look at this period.  |

Fantastic gaming table, fantastic miniatures and it's fun to see NATO on the offensive for a change. With a lot of ww3 scenarios, one could omit movement rates for NATO tanks and they'd play the same :) |

A great looking table, and minis! Thanks for sharing your battle report, scenario, and info. I too have been thinking about some possible engagements centered around the Hungarian and Czech. invasions, and pondering what might have happened if the West had intervened. Hadn't heard of this West German troop revolt. Makes sense. Arrrrrggggggggh, now I'm gonna have to add Centurions to my wants list too, in addition to all the other great Cold War kit out there. They'd work great for Danes and Swedes too, which is a plus. Must work on increasing my NATO and communist defense budgets, ASAP. Still want those beautiful Chieftain Vs first though, for the British, since they are such lovely, powerful tanks, and were the main battle tanks in service back when I was growing up. Well done. |

Well thank you all very much for your kind comments! Yes, I have some of the lovely Elheim British and Russian infantry – if only they were painted! I agree that a platoon in the woods, and the village, would have added an interesting dimension to the game, as would a brace of Conquerors! |
| Weasel | 07 Sep 2015 5:57 p.m. PST |
Mako – Centurions is one of those tanks that you may as well buy, because you can find a use for them pretty much anywhere :-) |
| D A THB | 07 Sep 2015 6:46 p.m. PST |
Nice game, which has yet again put me back in the 20mm camp for doing Cold War gaming. |
| Royston Papworth | 13 Sep 2015 11:11 a.m. PST |
It is a shame though, that no new kits for the Centurion and Chieftain seem to have appeared, well for 20mm and those in 15mm usually seem to be for the Israelis… I would love to see S Models bring out a late model Cent… |
