TERRAIN - Railway Track

The dust has settled after the fantastic Partizan 2022. There was a really buzz in the hall and around the Cold War Commanders table.  While we were at Partizan the topic of conversation turned to what has to be our favourite show of the year, the Joy of Six show up in Sheffield. The Cold War Commanders will be there with an extended version of the table that was seen at Partizan. 

So it was back to the workbench to start work on few terrain pieces to add to the table as well as the terrain collection for 'The Unit Wargaming Centre'. First up a double track railway line. This will come in useful for some of the games we have planned later in the year at both 'The Unit' and at GWS (Grimsby Wargames Society).

While sorting through some stuff up at 'The Unit' I came across this bridge that i'd bought a while ago and never got round to doing anything with. I wonder.....  😉

Anyway more on that in later posts. As always thanks for looking and if you have a bit of time check out some of the great Partizan 2022 highlight videos on YouTube. In particular Alex Sotheran over at the fantastic Storm of |Steel channel https://youtu.be/0y9SH0KvJw4 which includes an interview with yours truly, Wargames Guru who included our game in his Top 10 at Partizan https://youtu.be/lFlBjWqHc28 and Mel The Terrain Tutor who took some great video and photos of the table https://youtu.be/qHitwGWuemc

Until the next time take care everyone!

Joy of Six 2017

Sunday 16th July saw the Cold War Commanders head off to Sheffield for the annual outing to the fantastic 6mm specific wargames show "Joy of Six" organised by those good chaps at Baccus and Wargames Emporium. This year we were lucky enough to be asked to put on one of the big showcase games so we had a 20' x 6' table to fill. The idea was to showcase our LANDJUT 1989 campaign which is running throughout 2017 culminating in the Big Weekend up in Grimsby at the end of September. So we had elements of all the games played so far. Amphibious assaults, river crossings, airborne assaults on key airfields. All the things to make a visually impressive table for people to see on the day.

Great day meeting up with the chaps and meeting new faces who are interested in 6mm. As always not much actual game play although Steve G and Ian S got through quite a few turns in the centre of the table as did Andy T and Neil M around the airfield. Other than that alot of talking to people about the game and the terrain which is what this show is all about. Roll on Grimsby when we all meet up again for a whole weekend of CWC.

Once again thanks for all the Cold War Commanders for their help in putting this game on. Richard C, Andy C, Ian S, Steve G, Danny M, Simon W, Keith T, Andy T, Mark J and Neil M.

Thanks for looking.
