I've somehow managed to get the photos in a jumble but here are a few more from this game. The result was a win - albeit a costly one - for the NKPA. A very jolly game which we cracked through in only about 2 hours.
Air support featured - all of it WW2 surplus. Here an ancient P-51 attempts to shoot up the NK column.Here's an even older YAK-9 keeping the TF's heads down.
Some of the tanks managed to force their way through the pass, while some tried to outflank....
...giving the US gunners a worrying time!The youngest element of the air support - this Sturmovik dates from only 2017!
The US figures were a mix of CTS, Deetail and TSSD
Another Mustang - but too late to stem the NK flow.

I really enjoyed playing this the first time. Those US 105mm howitzers brought back some childhood memories! I'd completely forgotten I had one.
Very impressive array of armor and air power! You're making me regret getting 1/48 aircrat kits. The 1/72 aircraft look perfect with 1/32 infantry.
A fantastic game. Was great facing down the mass of armour.
Cheers,
Pete.

I didn't have a '105 as a child - I'm making up for it now though!

Far be it from me to rub salt in your wounds, but I prefer 1/72 because they are (relatively) compact, mostly cheap and available in profusion. I found that most 1/48 kits I've seen are aimed at 'proper modellers', so that's me out!

I thought your personal morale held up very well as Russell unloaded armfuls of toys onto the battlefield.
