Cold War Commanders

The beginnings of the Cold War Commanders goes back to 2012 and a small school hall in the wonderful village of Dungworth, near Sheffield. 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 ten more annual games including Arctic Strike, The Tide is Turning - NATO Counterattack in Southern Germany, The Battle of Hanover, Aegean Strike, Arctic Strike II and Landjut. Over the past ten 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 COLD WAR COMMANDERS
