Whisky on the Rocks-Wargaming Cold War in Sweden Project

The Gotland tourist board has you on a retainer, doesn't it? 

You'd think, wouldn't you. Nah. It's the GRU paying me.

I should perhaps mention that, for gaming board purposes, that the Gotland landscape is characterized by farm fields and "ängen", (the lime rich soil is famously fertile) and "alvarmark" where the lime rock is exposed with very little vegetation. This is intersperse by low slow growing pine wood and, more unusually, by leaf trees, like oak,elm, birch...

Well the upside is you get the preposterous looking m/42 SKPF as a replacement for the Pbv 302s.

In Swedish military jargon it is quite aptly called "Suggan" (the Sow). It saw action in Congo.

nice job on that factory revamp - breathing some new life into an unloved piece of scenery

Superb Hammers, the farm buildings, and typical housing  will be present for sure, I will look for something similar for the barracks buildings!

Interesting photos of the ports, I will add a cement works to the harbour, and I did not know about the submarine port, will need to add that to my briefing and spetsnaz strike.

Any photos of the bunkers, I have read there were 152mm guns protecting Visby harbour also.

Cheers

I picked up 20 odd buildings for €80 I was very happy!

I purchased a single resin Terrängbil m/42 KP and it’s on the desk at the moment…. Hopefully paint on it in the coming week

Cheers
