Cold War APC's

Found some more of my 1/285 scale Cold War Micro Armor
NATO M113'S one is an Vulcan Cann armed AA vehicle
Warsaw Pact BMP's and a 3 vehicle SCUD mobile missile launching unit.
All are metal pieces from either CinC or GHQ.

Cold War Nato Armor

A small selection of British and US tanks, the bottom four are British Centurions. The next six are M-60's.
The four light tanks to the right are M551 Sheridan's with the 152mm gun/launcher rather than a conventional cannon. To their rear are six M-60 A1's with four M-60 A2 "Starships" also armed with the 152mm gun/launcher.

These are metal 1/285 Micro GHQ Armor that I painted in 1977. I used to have a full armored division (mixed US and British Pieces-it was a wargame unit after all) of these fine beasties and had great fun throwing them into games against their Soviet West Pack foes in the late '70's. Alas those days are long gone as are most of the pieces that I gave away as I shifted my focus into World War II 1/285 scale using the old "Panzer War" rules.

World War Two Wargaming When Space is Limited

Short on space for a WWII armor battle, no problem, if you have access to some 1980's GHQ and/or CinC 1/285 scale pieces.
Here are five M24 Chaffee light tanks and five Soviet vehicles four with the dreaded Katyusha rockets on trucks and a support fuel truck. All in a space less then 100mm wide. 
The Chaffee's are GHQ the trucks are from CinC all are metal pieces.
