Another American vehicle.

Continuing the WW2 US theme here is a Ready to Roll M20.

Possibly use this as part of a command unit or recce for a tank destroyer unit. All done barr flocking the base.

M8 Greyhounds- wip

 A pair of Raventhorpe M8 armoured cars from their Ready to Roll range. Calling them done barr some static grass on the bases.

These will find their way into my US recce units for Rapid Fire.

American Infantry-WIP

 Working on some WW2 US infantry and vehicles for a change. Infantry are 20mm AB miniatures, sculpted by Tony Barton and are available through Eureka miniatures UK. The tanks are Ready To Roll purchased from Colin Rumford and are available from the Rapid Fire website. The figures are based for Rapid Fire.

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.

After some not inconsiderable time I now appear to be getting close to completing my Soviets for Cold War Commander.I have at last completed the final T64 tank regiment for my armored division. This consists of 3 battalions , each of 3 companies, all Heroics and Ros.

Also completed is a further battalion of BTR60s. Aswel as 2 HQs for the heavy recce companies and a recovery vehicle.

AA, Anti tank and support bases.

HQ, all Scotia models

HQs for heavy recce coys, all Scotia.

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!

Finished Units, only taken a year!

Well, I've actualy gotten around to completing some of my lead pile, and guess what.. they are 6mm cold war Soviets for col war commander.

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.
