I'll admit there is a bit of resemblance; if only I'd have put some recoiless rifles on the jeeps

Also I'm sure us Brits would have sent a few squadrons of Centurions to help beat back the Commies

Sorry, Matt, I think in this story you Brits have been nuked.  I can't see any other way; as you mentioned, you guys wouldn't just be sitting it out.

Naval blockade? Then you Can have them come to your aid when needed 😁

A naval blockade of the UK, Peter???  By the Soviets??? We have to have some limits!

Maybe the nukes decimated the harbors?

The British Army had a OPFOR Training Facility at Suffiield in Canada in the 70's and 80s - they had a couple of squadrons of British kit based there?

Chieftains rather than Centurions IIRC.......but who can complain about that?  

Have to obtain them from another source in 10mm though.

Actually its still operational:

If the paranoid fantasies of MI5, Old Etonians and Special Branch had actually been true Britain might well be in the throes of a change over to a glorious United Soviet Republic

Perhaps the CIA's "strategy of tension" got a bit carried away and instead of a paper tiger to point to as a threat, they actually got a full blown insurrection! Same might go for the rest of Euro-NATO, especially Italy, or perhaps Gaullist France has nobbled the NATO response trusting to her nukes to keep back the Soviets and create a new Frankish Empire in Europe?

All,

Tonight I got all the infantry from my Pendraken Cold War project cleaned up and prepped for priming, here are some pics, but they're not totally ready.  I'll explain below...  In any case, I really need some warm weather so I can get everything spray primed.  I apologize, it's tough to see detail in the photos since these are bare metal, but I wanted to share.


Here's the whole mess, Soviets on the left, Americans on the right.  To see more pics, please check the blog at:

Don't worry, TP, I'll have the Brits get nuked rather than turn Commie

Now I just need some warm weather...

V/R,
Jack

S'all right, either way works. Doesn't even need to be full Communist, just say the US went a bit heavy handed over the Marshall Plan/Lend-Lease repayments, replacing colonial possessions and interfering in elections, and Europe's decided to attempt to return to the good olds days

[Matt J]

It's it's red or dead I'll back mutha Russia!

Looking good Jack

[Womble67]

Coming on nicely

Take care
