Neue Stan Halle, 1979 - part 2

I now have all the photos taken at the game (in addition to my three....), so thanks to Bob, Ian, Jack and Russell I will over the next few posts, reveal the whole shocking truth.
But for now, more scene-setting.

WARPACT forces amounted to the front end of a Motor Rifle Division - two complete Motor Rifle Regiments.  The East German one had BMPs, the Forbodians BTR-60s.  There was also air support on a reasonably lavish scale and a Polish para battalion which could be landed by a mix of rotary and fixed wing aircraft.

NATO (mostly US) forces comprised a battalion each of tanks, mech infantry and airmobile infantry, with 3 attack aircraft, 4 attack helis and 2 artillery battalions available, together with various AA batteries and an RAF Regiment Squadron defending the airfield.

Just over the border was the East German Party HQ building.  First one to say it looks like a
toy car park wins 25 years hard labour.  Toy by Bertrand, photo by Bob

My hastily bodged NATO airfield went down well.

 As well as the trusty Airfix tower, I had managed to source a Corgi Landrover still in it's original RAF paintwork.  The Dinky refueller was treated to a swift repaint the previous weekend.

 Parked in front of the hangar (the lid from an A4 printer paper box) was an RAF Jaguar. This one.

 The airfield's defences included two Bloodhound launchers....  Photo by Jack

Situated well to the rear - the NATO Patriot AAGM battery.  The launcher box stolen from a big (1/32ish)
plastic lorry found in a charity shop by John Armatys and bodged onto a pair of broken Solido lorries.
