Cheers! Can anyone guess which figures the SAS types with G-3 and HK-53 were the donor bodies?

Shit photos I know so I'll post another a bit later.

I'd guess at Danish or Bundeswehr from Under Fire, looks like at least one Eureka Recon marine in the mix.

Close. There is a Eureka recon marine in there. But the chaps with the HK-53 and G-3 are none other than the LAF KSK, with weapon and a head swap. The SAS were using both weapons in Norn Irn around this time so I thought why not. For some reason they look a bit glossy in the photo but they are dead matte in real life.

Great looking figures mate - especially like the thought that has gone into repurposing non-period specific miniatures for your project  8)

OK. So I'll be reviving this thread fairly soon with some major additions in terms of troops and terrain put together in the past year or so.

In the meantime, a bit of West Berlin history from the shadows. Should be of some interest to the Twilight 2000 crowd at very least. Taking the war into East Berlin and beyond, plus stay behind ops.

Interesting article, to be placed face to face to the soviet planning of a possible invasion of West-Berlin.  :)

Indeed a very interesting description of rather secret operations. I plan my setup a couple of 100km more southwest of Berlin, but there might be affairs in the long-before-and-not-yet-again-capital that could have triggered some of my wargaming scenarios at the American zone frontier fence to come. 5th Panzerdivision in second responce, securing withdrawal of US to the river Rhine, first line to be Bundesgrenzschutz, awaiting arrival of Bundeswehr 3rd Corps.

Looking forward to see what you've done lately...

And I'll likely take a look at that link.  One never knows when inspiration will strike...
