TERRAIN - Streetlights from Singapore!

A recent look on ebay for useful bits of terrain uncovered a trader in Singapore selling 80 x 1/300th scale streetlights for $1.86 including postage (take note Shapeways!!!). They arrived this morning well packaged and they look very similar to the old Timecast ones. I will base some up on individual bases like my telegraph poles and also add some to BUA bases.

JOY OF SIX 2016

Pleased to announce that the Cold War Commanders will be attending the Joy of Six 2016 show to be held at the Heartspace of Sheffield Hallam University on Sunday 17th July. Last year we were delighted to take the 'Friendliest Game' title and also the runner up spot in the 'Best Game' category. Hopefully we can go one better in 2016. We are in the early stages of planning and are looking at an earlier Cold War confrontation set in 1960's/1970's. I will post more details when they have been finalised. See you there!
