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.

BATTLE FOR HANOVER AAR - Part Two
Here are some more photos of the game. I will add some commentary and details when I can but for now enjoy the eye candy!
Mark Fry's superb Dutch EW unit, a fantastic little conversion
Another of Mark Fry's Dutch conversions
Saltzgitter with two scratch built container cranes, didn't quite finish the paint job on the cranes as they are supposed to be red and white. Will finish them off as soon as possible and post pictures
The level crossing, this was the scene of some heavy fighting between Andy Hamilton's US 2AD(FWD) and Mike Ahern's Soviet forces. I believe that control of the level crossing changed hands several times during the game
