Cold War Commanders

Welcome to the Cold War Commanders, a blog I am using to chart the exploits of the 'Cold War Commanders' a small group of chaps who, inspired by books like World War III, Red Storm Rising and the 'Effect' Series by Harvey Black, wargame fictitious Cold War battles in 6mm using the Cold War Commander rules by Peter Andrew Jones.

One of our esteemed brethren, a Mr Richard Crawley, had the crazy idea to hold a huge 6mm CWC gaming weekend played over three large tables, using hundreds of bases of infantry and armoured fighting vehicles. So on April 20th 2012 the forces gathered and over the following two days battle raged across West Germany and Holland as the Warsaw Pact invaders fought their way across Western Europe in 1985. Since that initial weekend there has been five more annual games, Arctic Strike - The Invasion of Norway 1985 held again at Dungworth in 2013, The Tide is Turning - NATO Counterattack in Southern Germany 1985 held at the Deeside Defenders club in Broughton, near Chester in 2014, The Battle of Hanover 1985 again held in Broughton in 2015, Aegean Strike 1985 held at Broughton in 2016 and Landjut 1989 held at the Grimsby Wargames Society in 2017. Over the past six years there has been a core of players who have supported these events spending hours working on OOB's, building terrain and spending hours huddled over painting tables and these fine gents have joined together to form the
