Thanks Martin - you're right, I'd love some ultra-moderns to be able to scrap the Tali in 10mm...a bit like these of mine in 28mm, but smaller please:

Hi Nik

Have you read Cauldron by Larry Bond? I will have to get rid of my 15mm modern first only got 20 T64's about the same number of BMP1 and 10 BTR 60pb's not to mention a Danish battle group with Centurions and M41's and a lot of landrovers and enough 1/100th aircraft to sink a small Aircraft carrier,
The wimmic is in the deal with Lomg wheel base Landrover's just waiting the masters back but the centurion and T54/55 will look impressive when done i will post some pictures shortly

Regards
Martin

Nik, I didn't realise you did 28mm as well - I've just put all of my 28mm modern on Ebay (trading name whiteoakmodels)  - as I'm moving away from skirmish towards a more tactical command & control style of game which I believe 10mm is better suited to.

I'd be interested in the list thoughts on good modern asymetric COIN warfare rules suitable for 10mm

Best regards

I'm in the market for 15mm modern especially T64s and BTR60PBs. Can you tell me more?

Yeah - I game in 2mm, 3mm, [sold all my 6mm], 10mm & 28mm...it's pretty much everything except 15mm - can't stand 15mm  ;) :d

Ambush Alley / Force on Force is your friend for asymmetric really - or, if you like CWC, feel free to have a look at the skirmish variant I did (with lists for the forces above) - here: http://nikharwood.pbworks.com/w/page/7825442/CWC%20Skirmish

Thanks for the codes earlier.

Have you ever shared the CWC skirmish variant rules? Or is it FWC skirmish rules with your army lists?

No worries  :)

Yep - those lists are workable both with FWC skirmish variant rule - but also, to be honest, you can probably just drop 'em into CWC with a slight adjustment of thinking & they'll be fine...

Hi Everyone

I am waiting for the first spin offs from Leon and Dave and will be doing the CVR(t) family for them also early scorpion and scimitar and later versions with extra stowage, the only one on the list i have left to do apart from variants with the landrovers is the Mercedes g wagon the centurion turret is 90% complete and when finished will be usable from Mk3 to 13 as you will see when I put some pictures up, the T54/55 turret is 90% finished and if Leon and dave want i will do the later versions with extra armour hope this helps and if there is any thing else you would like feel free to contact

Regards
Martin

Leon / Martin

I already thinking of my Christmas shopping list ....will the Scorpian & Scimitar be available in December?

Thanks Kelvin
