B.A.O.R. c.1983

 Well, a moment I never thought would come has finally crept up on me unawares in that all of the vehicles and figures I bought for the NATO side of the Cold War Gone Hot project in the shape of the B.A.O.R. are finished, at least for now! They will be lead no doubt usually by that cool head, Brigadier 'Fighting Phil' Robinson, hero of many a desperate fight! All the vehicles and figures are from Battlefront's Team Yankee range of course. Anyhow, no more blathering, here are the whole kit and caboodle for your delectation, or otherwise ~


The tanks and AFVs for the Soviet side of the game, lead by the Russian branch of that family of military incompetents 'Mad Vlad' Byklovic, are also completed and the infantry are now finally underway, with the first four figures completed. The bases are ordered from the Plastic Soldier Company, along with a box of T55s to bolster the Soviets in due course as Phil is in the groove it seems!
