In the previous post I showed the WIP Hawk battery that will be used in our CWC Weekend game in October. I mentioned that I planned to use the base for a similar Soviet battery that could be used in future games.
Welcome to the Cold War Commanders, a blog I am using to chart the exploits of the 'Cold War Commanders' a group of chaps who, inspired by books like Hackett's World War III, Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy and the 'Effect' Series by Harvey Black, wargame fictitious Cold War battles in 6mm using the Cold War Commander Rules from Pendraken.

RETURN TO DENMARK - CWC Weekend 2025 (Part One)
OK activity has been very slow on this blog for various reasons, real life, health problems plus the inability to access this blog for a while due to problems with Microsoft Bing not allowing access to Google Chrome stuff. I've finally sorted it out so over the coming months I'll be posting information and progress on preparations for our annual CWC Weekend get together later in the year.
This years event takes place over the weekend of 18/19 October at The Unit in Stone, Staffordshire and will involve between 12 and 16 players battling it out for control of the Jutland Peninsula in the mid 1980's. Forces include Danish and West Germans reinforced by UK and USMC vs Soviet and East German Divisions reinforced by Naval and VDV troops.
Over the years we have built up a considerable collection of forces and terrain but each year I try and add to the terrain collection. This year there will be a few bits of new stuff on the workbench. First up is a Hawk Missile battery that will be more of an objective rather than a weapon system (but you never know 😉).
