Cold War French 1984

My 'quarantine/rāhui project has been the painting/basing of the 6mm cold war French arm that Adrian gave me quite a few years ago. This was. apart of the material we swapped, 15mm League of Augsberg army for a fantastic stash of 6mm moderns equipment. They are being based for Modern Spearhead (my Moderns rules set of choice). Tonight's work means that the core armour and armoured infantry battalions are now complete, along with a core of divisional AA and ATGW assets.

The tanks are the AMX-30, while the infantry APCs are the AMX-10P. I am not sure which manufacturer these are form, but the infantry are Heroics and Ros US Modern infantry.












Next on the board is the mechanised battalion mounted in VABs. I also have the material for a reserve regiment with AMX-13s... that'll be a lot of fun to play.

      My 6mm stuff is generally 'underdone', when. look t the work of others . Sadly my eyes aren't quite what they once were ('No they used to be me ears" ... old Goons show joke).

      The AMX-30 is OK.. not a super tank. One of the things I LOVE with the Spearhead rules sets is that there are NO super tanks.. merely different tactical problems to be solved...

      Take care
