And whilst Artillery / mortars are off-table assets in Battlegroup: NORTHAG, this is me…

… some 227mm MARS MLRS Bty for the Cold War West German Bundeswehr rolled off the line as tokens representing the number of available strikes.

Engagement

Seeking to maintain the initiative seized by the initial breakthrough, the Soviet CRP advance across open ground south-east of Lardmünchen.

The BMR platoon and its infantry dismounts using the cover of the outcrops to allow an unobserved dash into the town. 10/n

British armoured engineering assets - Titan Bridge System; Trojan Armoured Engineers Vehicle; and Challenger CRARRV.

Awesome 15mm prints and will go great with my modern British Battlegroup.

15mm Cold War West German Bundeswehr.

The ability to field a Tactical Operations Centre (TOC), with attached specialist assets (FAC / EW / GSR / Medics etc) poses some interesting challenges in NORTHAG. These M577 tracks can be used to represent same.

With the 231st Guards Tank Battalion decisively committed around Lardmünchen, and the increasingly congested roads around and through the hamlet restricting their combat effectiveness, C Sqn, QRIH continues to grind forward reaping a terrible toll on the Soviet armour.

That’s the longest part done - washes applied. Also tried to pick out some of the ERA blocks in a different tone. Will highlight further following drybrush tomorrow once washes are dried. Making steady progress.

More paint on PDRT Aviation Defense Forces MiG-15s.
Still need to tidy up colours, tidy white rondels and add a black T.

Cannot wait to take my full Bundeswehr Leopard 2A6 Panzer Company and add a Puma Panzergrenadier platoon.

Bringing a modernised angle to Battlegroup NORTHAG. There’s no armour, like heavy armour!

August, 1983.

A key road running east through a small wooden valley, near the hamlet of Klein-Lardmünchen, located just across the Inner-German Border.

Will run this scenario for you, @johnsavage.bsky.social during your visit.

Adding a Jadgpanzer Zug with two (2) Jaguar 1 ATGW carriers. Armed with the HOT missile system, these will provide the Bundeswehr Panzer Kampfgruppe with some long-range heavy AT fires.

With heavy armour like the Leopard 2A6, I’ve included some 3D printed assets such as M88 heavy recovery.

Planning to use these in some key scenarios and will be integral to a home-written campaign supplement.

With their armour lost, and the crossroads taken, British force morale is broken and the remaining combat group elements withdraw from Lardmünchen.

1st Soviet Guards Tk Division have won, buts its a (very) close run thing!

Progress. Washes applied to the SA-8 ‘Gecko’ SAM Battery, so temporary halt until they dry in full. Then drybrushing, highlights and decals to finish. Great detail and super kits from Battlefront Miniatures.

Making more progress.

All the BTR60 specialist variants now complete, alongside the remaining BRDM2s. Next up working on a SA-13 ‘Gopher’ SAM battery and ‘Shturm-S’ ATGW platoon. Slow and steady!

15mm Cold War West German Bundeswehr project - paint resupply.

Should be enough Vallejo U.S Olive Drab spray to cover the Gelboliv needed.

Now where’s the rest of that Leopard 1A4 Panzerbataillon!?

Despite some Soviet losses, Lardmünchen and its key A123 - R321 intersection is now in the hands of the 1st Guards Tank Regiment. Can they hold it against the developing NATO counterattack?
