Fulda, 6. August 1985

"Comrades! to match the speed of our glorious Tankarmies, sweeping over Westgermany, STAVKA decided to place our Groundattackbombers more closely to the frontline. We place our Fighterbombers at highwaycrossing, where the bridges provide cover.
We will be at the rhine in aproximatley 10 days! Onward to victory!!"

Inspired by some books i decided to build such a crossing for FoF Cold war gone hot! It is the first part and i am really satisfied with the project.

Comments welcome!

Thank you Oiler!

It is all in 15mm. The Shilka/BMP2/Su-25 are from Quick reaction force, as is the Infantry. The M-113s are Battlefrontminiatures. And the Tornado ist a 1/144 scale Revell-Kit. The Missilelaunch is selfmade of Course :)

Very well done! Did you make the highway signs or are they from somewhere?

Thank you all for your kind motivation! That´s really pushing me foreward to do the next section! As i was asked by some Members, i will post closeups of my miniatures at the weekend.


Next step will be a tablesection wich will contain the "downdrive" of the crossing and suburban Buildings. May be a Mc Donalds Restaurant. "Fight for the drive In" :D
