My Unofficial Battlegroup: Cold War - UPDATED - New AFV Data Tables

Hi Everyone

Another quick update - this time with four new AFV Data Tables for the Norwegians, Belgian, Polish and East Germans.  The Norwegian table has been updated to match the new version of the army list while the Belgian, Polish and East German AFV Data tables are brand new, and should (hopefully) cover everything in each of those nationalities lists.

If you can spot any problems with the tables, please let me know.

Here they are

Norwegian AFV Data

Belgian AFV Data

Polish AFV Data

East German AFV Data

Thanks

My Unofficial Battlegroup: Cold War - UPDATED - Norwegian Mechanised & Infantry Battlegroups

Recently I was contacted on the Battlegroup NORTHAG Development Forum by Kit Hohler (known as Eukie on that forum) who had numerous suggestions and corrections for my original Norwegian List.

So now with his invaluable assistance I've been able to seriously update the list which should be quite a bit more historically correct.  It has a couple of new infantry options and some new vehicles.  Kit also helped sort of my Norwegian Leopard mistakes.

As the list was now looking so good I thought it was about time that I had a crack at writing up a more defined "Home Turf" special rule.  It gives you the option of moving a couple of pieces of terrain (hopefully to represent units intimately familiar with their surroundings being able to choose the piece of ground they wish to fight on) or add +1D6 to the forces overall BR.  Obviously this needs to be tested to see what impact it has on the game.

Finally I'll be updating the Norwegian AFV Data Table to reflect the fixes and additions over the next few days (probably next week to be honest)

So here is the newly updated list:

My Unofficial Battlegroup: Cold War - UPDATED - French Armoured Division Battlegroup -

Hi guys

Just a quick post.  Based on some late feedback I have made some very minor changes to the French Armoured Division Battlegroup List.  They are:

• The Armoured Voltigeur Platoon has lost its Medium Mortar, which has been replace with a Heavy Mortar.
• The AMX-13 105mm SPG has been more correctly named
• The Dragoon LRRP Patrol has had the 2 APILAS MAW's stripped out (as they were no meant to engage armour).  However I have added a single APILAS MAW as an option extra for 10 pts.  They have reduced in cost down to 55 pts.

That's it for now.

This week I hope to have the French AFV Data out and I'll review where I got up to with the east German and Polish AFV Data.  I'm also starting work on the French Infantry Division List.

Finally I've actually started to paint some Cold War Soviet vehicles again so I may finally be able to post up some pics.

Thanks

My Unofficial Battlegroup: Cold War - French Armoured Division Battlegroup List

Finally.....

Its been a long time coming and involved a fair amount of effort, but today I'm pleased to post up a French Armoured Division Battlegroup List:

French Armoured Division Battlegroup

Many, many thanks to Paul Cziganj and Jerome Bons without whom this list would either not exist or if it did, it would be seriously wrong!  It seems even the French find French Army TO&Es a little confusing!

I'd appreciate any feedback including errors etc.  Any mistakes in the list are purely mine, not Jerome or Paul's.

You'll note that there is a new French specific Special Rule re: Rifle Grenades as part of the list.  I am trying to show the heavy, doctrinal use of rifle grenades by the French Army.  Any better ideas for dealing with this would be appreciated.

So in the next month or so, I hope to add 2 more French lists (which will be much easier now this list is done) and I'll work on the French Vehicle Data and Weapons information.

It's been a fairly bad year hobby-wise as we planned to be moving overseas about now.  That has all been put on hold for a while so hopefully next year will be rather different and a bit more time for painting soldiers and playing games.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone.

Thanks for your support

Richard

My Unofficial Battlegroup: Cold War - West German Panzer Battlegroup List Updated

Just a very quick note to let you know the West German Panzer Division list has been updated.  The links at the top and side of the page have both been updated.  Mostly simple changes and corrections based on feedback.  Most dramatically Leopard 2 units are no longer veterans and are now a little cheaper points-wise.

Thanks

My Unofficial Battlegroup: Cold War - Polish Airborne Brigade Battlegroup List

So finally I'm able to publish the last Polish list - the 6th Pomeranian Airborne Brigade.  This is another useful list if you want to game out the Battle for Denmark.

So here is the list

Polish Airborne Brigade Battlegroup

Still had no real feedback on these lists - so if you're interested in the Poles and you've had a look at the lists, please point out any errors or areas where we've missed something out.

As I said this will be the last list for the Poles - now we'll be moving to some French lists for a change.

Thanks

Richard

My Unofficial Battlegroup: Cold War - Polish Naval Landing Brigade Battlegroup List

So today I'm posting up the third of the four Polish Lists that we have planned.  This list can be used to create a force from the 7th Luzycka Naval Landing Brigade - a very useful list if like me you'd like to play out a Battle for Denmark Campaign.

So here is the list

Polish Naval Landing Brigade Battlegroup

We haven't really had any feedback on the Polish lists so far, so please have a look at them and let me know what you think.

Thanks

Richard
