More 15mm Cold War
Just a quick post today showing off some of the 15mm Cold War models I have recently finished. I’m really enjoying this period and plan to grab some Soviets when Battlefront starts their Black Friday sale next week (T62s and BTR50s I think).

Fall-In Tour, Checkpoint Charlie Updates
Over the weekend I took a day trip up to Fall-In. I haven’t been to an HMGS convention since before COVID so I was quite looking forward to it, even if it was just for a day. I packed up my car and took the 2.5 hour drive from Fredericksburg to Lancaster on the Saturday morning. Before I get into that - a few quick finished 15mm US mid-period Cold War things:

Seeing Red Again - Returning to 15mm Soviets
Back in the heady days of 3rd edition Flames of War, I would have to say Soviets became my main army. The Eastern Front history has always fascinated me and I’ve always found the Soviet project a fascinating mixture of idealism blended with brutal oppression mired in a quagmire of Russo-centric chauvinism.

Painting Progress - 15mm WW2 German Additions
I’ve been steadily painting away at some of my 15mm WW2 backlog. While I still have mixed feelings about FoW V4 as a ruleset, Battlefront’s new plastic miniatures are VERY good and “FoW” style basing is still my preferred way to go (the base sizes are just right to allow for little dioramas). So, I’ll keep basing things for this system even if I am eyeballing alternatives (I’ve heard good things about Hail of Fire).

A Month?! Ack!
Oh no! A month without a post. Life just sort of got ahead of me - summer is always very busy. I’ve been doing some hobby stuff - printing and painting Solar Aux themed around the Imperial Russian army of WW1. I doubt I’ll ever play third ed HH - the community for it died with the new edition here - but at this stage in my hobby life gaming is a secondary concern - I paint and hobby what I feel like doing and even if it never gets used it’ll look cool in my display cases.
