Well, Sparker, nice post (and very nice blog) and all, but I was hoping to see a 4CMBG Leo… Good you're having fun with this. I'm still stuck in the 18th century, well, maybe a bit in the 19th. Eric |

Those look nice! I'm finding this WWIII thing harder to resist. |

I know you can team Yankee in 6mm or smaller but that photo shows why 15mm is the way to go for lots of people. Nice job |

Really nice paint jobs there Sparks. |

Nicely done. There is a website that has diagrams with both sides, front, back and top views of the NATOthree color patterns listed under tarnschemen. panzerbaer.de |

Ooooo! Nice! Me likely, likely! Well done, sir and may you last awhile before perishing in an unstoppable wave of Soviet armour and artillery fire! Mortituri te salutant! Cheers and good gaming. Rod Robertson. |

Very nice, avoid reversing Challengers on Hohne ranges though! Tally Ho! |

The real Sovs in 1980s GSFG were somewhat less convinced of their unstoppability than many folks in the West. Thankfully we'll never know- but great fun to play out the possibilities with beautifully painted models like that. Well done Sparker. |

Well thank you all very much for your kind comments! I'm thrilled its inspired some of you to look at this Cold War genre again! I do find the dictomy between the capability we credited the Soviet War Machine with at the time, and what we discovered about their training and equipment in the early 90's, fascinating. It seems to me for a balanced wargame you have grant them the most of the capability they projected back in the day! This at least seems to be the route Battlefront are following in Team Yankee – but its still very challenging being a Soviet player! |

gunnerphil I know you can team Yankee in 6mm or smaller but that photo shows why 15mm is the way to go for lots of people. Have to admit, I think micro armor would probably be 'perfect' more or less for TY, but 15mm armor has always been great to see on a game table. And a favorite of mine. Now, 4-1-7 WOW… Regarding resin models, Im with you, I just dont think they match the detail of plastic cast models. And yours look amazing! Well done sir. |
