More light at the end of the tunnel.
Almost completed my Soviets for Cold War Commander. This is the last tank unit I had left to do. This is a battalion of T55AMVs by Heroics and Ros (SM128). One of their newer casts and is a beautiful sculpt and great value at £0.75 ( as of May 2020)
This just leaves a battalion of infantry and their supports and thats about it.

So that just leaves a battalion of T55AM2Vs and a battalion of infantry with supports to complete and I will possibly will call it a day for the Soviets. When the lockdown restrictions are relaxed I will try and get to the Grimsby club and get them all set out and take some pics.
So what have I left to do regarding my 6mm Cold war project? Quite a bit actualy, some British, Americans and a big box of building to complete!

Rapid Fire Saturday Game.
Played a game of Rapid Fire at the Grimsby Wargames Society club. Danny's Germans vs my Americans. Danny had two Kampfgruppe and I fielded a Combat Command with an extra recce unit and some additional artillery. Good game ended in a draw, with both sides taking some casualties. All the terrain is off the shelves of the club.
