Great job, I remember seeing some of your work on Facebook wargaming pages, and it's always as impressive! In fact, being amazed by the massive formations you're doing is one of the thing that brought me to the world of 6mm, while I started wargaming in 20mm (as I already had a sizeable collection of 1/72 plastic models to begin with).

I was wondering, though, are Imagi-Nations common in 6mm wargaming? I'd love to make armies for one (WW2 and late Cold War tech levels), but I'm afraid I won't be able to find anyone to play against.

Tanker,
I appreciate your kind words. Glad you like my stuff. I did send PM.
There is a group on FB, Imagi-Nations. I most only post pictures. There are all sorts of people on there posting all sorts. GHQ has the Wehrmacht ‘47 line. At conventions I have seen and played in games that the countries did not exist.

There are gamers that use the Team Yankee rules with GHQ micro armor. Some make some adjustments, other don’t.

Thanks, I'll go join it then! GHQ's Wehrmacht '47 collection makes up a non-negligible part of my first order from them, I'll make a couple pictures when it arrives!

Finland
The Balzac Republic has their fast reaction on patrol specifically monitoring the EE.armor force 6 km to the east.
The Balzac Republic armored and mechanized infantry units are further back to the west.
Not expecting the EE armored forces to cross into Finland. If that happens, the Baltic Alliance will come to the aid of Finland.

Monacodom
From the runway at JB Monaco, northwest of the capital two B-70 A2 took off heading northeast over the mountains flying west of Milan, approaching Liechtenstein east of Zurich. Then in attack profile of conventional bombing run, at Mach .95 screaming CFB Lahr. At midpoint point nose up, giving those jets all the energy. The engine roar was deafening to those on the deck.
Just wanted to welcome the NC into the neighborhood after their isolation.
. Then turn east for a few other attack bombing profiles, then landing near Kiev. Meeting CoC Cmd Sgt. Major, let him know we have the mail. Secret info for General Boome, pronounced ‘boom’. The ‘navigator’ from the 2nd B-70 armed was escorted by the senior NCO and security detail to the general’s office.

CFB Lahr Germany
That was a rather reckless stunt pulled by those 2 CofC Bombers, some of the NC personal at the base suffered ruptured ear drums as a result of this incident. Plus it also disturbed the locals in the city of Lahr.

Patrol went south down the Coast Highway, N-2, towards St. Louis, Senegal as reports came in of insurgents, robbers or terrorists attacking cars and trucks. There have been over two dozen reports. Several families have been murdered or kidnapped.

Image

Rumors that a few companies that have trucks traveling N-2 are hiring Merc’s to reduce risk.

Mediterranean across from Gibraltar
The 2nd SHAM is under artillery fire, ...direct artillery fire. Mortar fire and tank fire. The M-2 Bradleys were getting into the engagement shooting at the towed barges with the 25mm gun and TOW missiles. Many did short-out from the salt water.
Helicopter assault was planned, the hospital ship was taken. The escorts were much more difficult. But with systems down including guns, CWIS, SAM from the direct gun fire. The attack Cobras direct fire support to aid the assault force of UH-1s, UH-60s, NH-90s did a get job. Some of the defending crew got the ceremonial sabers from the Chiefs’ Ward rooms in defense of the ship in hand-to-hand combat.
After the ships were taken by the assault teams, which was bloody, An SSN of ROD waited just outside the Mediterranean and sank 2 escorts before 4 Mk-46 torpedoes were dropped on her.
In the morning a great breakfast was served. The assault team enjoyed the improved meals from sitting in camps for 4 days waiting for the attack.

Monacodom
Monaco AF Base, 4 B-70 A2 take off 15 minutes after the two B-70;took off from Kiev, Ukraine.
Co-pilot says, “Lahr Tower requesting a fly by”.... ‘negative flight 1986’. Lahr, this is flight 1402 heading east, we request a tower flyby .... ahhhhh, Negative! It’s closed. Lahr, this is Col. Hokum, we are FLYING BY, get air space clear.... CLEAR...
The B-70 from Kiev are flying a bit faster, 580 on the ground. The timing over Lahr was timed very well. Group A, heading west to Kiev, flys 103 ft at 473 on the ground. The east bound at 500 mph, are over the tarmac..... all hit the after-burners to get the attention of those sleeping in the tower as they increase their altitude. The Nav in eastbound 4 said to his crew, wish we had 3 or 4 of those monster trucks with the loud jet engine on the back. The noise was 2.8 times as loud. The sound barrier was not broken.
