Norddeutsche Tiefebene) zu ben\u00fctzen. Momentan plane ich das Folgende:<\/p>\n<p><strong>11th Armored Cavalry Regiment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Die &#8220;W\u00e4chter der Fulda Gap&#8221; patrouillierten von 1972 bis 1989 die innerdeutsche Grenze, und w\u00e4ren im Kriegsfall die ersten mit Feindkontakt in diesem Sektor gewesen. Meine Truppen werden anf\u00e4nglich aus zwei M1 Abrams (Matchbox) und zwei M3 Bradley (Revell) bestehen. Dazu kommt dann noch Infanterie (Revell) und m\u00f6glicherweise en Cobra und ein Blackhawk Hubschrauber.<\/p>\n<p><strong>14. Panzerbrigade<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Die 14. Panzerbrigade war auch im Gebiet der Fulda Gap stationiert, in Neuhausen und Stadtallendorf. Im Kriegsfall w\u00e4re sie aus drei Panzerbataillonen (eines gemischt), einem Panzergrenadierbataillon und einem Panzerartilleriebataillon zusammengestellt gewesen, sowie verschiedenen Unterst\u00fctzungstruppen (Panzeraufkl\u00e4rung, Panzerj\u00e4ger, Pioniere, Nachschub und Instandsetzung).<\/p>\n<p>Meine Kampftruppen werden aus zwei Leopard 2 A4 (Revell) und zwei Marder 1 A2 (Umbauten vom Revell Marder A3) sowie einem Zug Elhiem Infanterie aufgebaut sein. Wenn Elhiem keine abgesetzten Milan Teams macht, k\u00f6nnte ich die aus dem Revell Panzergrenadier Set holen. Vielleicht f\u00fcge ich auch noch Unterst\u00fctzungstruppen zu, teilweise einfach auch als Ziel oder Aussschm\u00fcckung: Den Fuchs, Luchs und MAN 7t GL von Revell, von S&amp;S gibt es den 1,5t und 2t Unimog und den Iltis. Ein paar Hubschrauber w\u00e4ren auch sch\u00f6n &#8211; PAH-1, CH-53 und UH-1.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gel\u00e4nde<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ich suche eine geschickte Gel\u00e4ndematte, grau und ung. 1,2m x 2,4m gross. Das weitere Gel\u00e4nde w\u00e4re dann modul\u00e4r &#8211; H\u00e4user, Felder und B\u00e4ume. Was wirklich gut aussieht sind die vielen kleinen Alltagsobjekte wie Verkehrsschilder usw., zum Gl\u00fcck ist der Eisenbahnma\u00dfstab H0 (1:87) nicht komplett daneben.<\/p>\n<p>[\/lang_de]<\/p>\n<p>[lang_en]<em>Hot War<\/em> is my 1980s &#8220;Cold War Gone Hot&#8221; gaming project in 1\/72 or 20mm scale, aimed at the Force on Force rules by Osprey and Ambush Alley Games. I want to build forces and terrain suitable for the Fulda Gap in 1986, but everything will be generic enough to use it for other theaters (such as the North German Plain) as well. I currently plan on doing the following:<\/p>\n<p><strong>11th Armored Cavalry Regiment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Guardians of the Fulda Gap&#8221; patrolled the inner-German border from 1972 and 1989, and would have been the first unit to fight a Soviet assault in this sector. My forces will initially consist of two M1 Abrams (Matchbox) and two M3 Bradleys (Revell). I will add infantry (Revell, to start with) and maybe Cobra and Blackhawk choppers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>14. Panzerbrigade<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The West German 14. Panzerbrigade was also based in the Gap area, at Neuhausen and Stadtallendorf. In wartime, it would have consisted of three tank battalions (one of them mixed), a mechanized infantry battalion, an artillery battalion, and various support units (reconnaissance, tank hunters, engineers, supply and maintenance).<\/p>\n<p>My combat forces will consist of two Leopard 2 A4 (Revell) and two Marder 1 A2 (converted from the Revell A3 version), plus a platoon of Elhiem infantry. If Elhiem doesn&#8217;t make dismounted Milan teams, they could be taken from the Revell Panzergrenadier set. I might add various other supporting units: The Revell Fuchs (as infantry carrier or for engineers), Luchs (reconnaissance), and 7 ton MAN truck, and S&amp;S makes the 1.5 ton and 2 ton UNIMOG trucks and has a mold for the Iltis. A couple of choppers would be nice, too &#8211; PAH-1, CH-53, and UH-1.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Terrain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m looking for a suitable grayish gaming mat, 1.2m x 2.4m in size. Terrain would then be modular &#8211; houses, fields, trees. The mat would also be suitable for Hue. What really makes gaming tables look good is the small clutter, such as street signs and other assorted stuff. Luckily, model railroading H0 scale (1\/87) isn&#8217;t too far off.[\/lang_en]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[lang_de]Hot War ist mein achtziger Jahre &#8220;heisser kalter Krieg&#8221; Projekt im 1:72 oder 20mm Ma\u00dfstab, f\u00fcr die Force on Force Regeln von Osprey und Ambush Alley Games.
