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 😉). 

The battery layout. Eventually I will add a control radar in the central area.

A great model from Heroics & Ros 

I also have a Soviet SAM battery which I can use with the same base. I will post photos of the Soviet version in the next few days.

  1. Looking forward to it! Assuming I'll be bringing a VDV or Naval infantry force, I'm going to start some basing and rebasing jobs.

  2. Great to see the blog is back - I check this page regularly and had to do a bit of a double take when some new pics appeared ! Very much looking forward to reading up on the CWC weekend (and all the best for the health issues).

    1. Thanks Phil. Yes it's been a bit crazy but I think things are finally starting to get back to some sense of normality. Got a lot to catch up on re this blog so there will be plenty of new content coming over the next few months.
