The Cold War Commanders events are, for me, mostly about the craic as our Irish friends would have it. I far prefer CWC as a smaller game that we playing in these big, multi-player events but the guys are a great bunch and it's always great to catch up with them.
Here are some pics.

Thanks are due to the Grimsby club for organising, to all the guys for a most friendly weekend, and especially to Richard Phillips for his superb organisation and for producing most of the terrain!

I must say I'm looking forward to seeing the film of the games. Straight Outta Grimsby meets A Bridgehead Too Far?
Very cool. You mention this being too big a game. What is your ideal size of CWC game?
Is there another rule set you use to play bigger games?
Personally I like to play with the size of forces we used at Joy of Six - a reinforced battalion on each side.
No, I haven't got an alternative set of rules and I don't suppose the guys would agree on a single set anyway!
