Man, does this bring back memories! T2K was the second RPG I played, and it's always tempting to attempt to return to it...looking forward to your blog posts!

Thanks for the positive comments.

Anyone any ideas on suitable figures for 28mm games?

I think The Assault Groups (increasing misnamed) 'Ultra Modern' range is about the right period.

And Empress sell a line of Chetchen war minis that might have some appropriate Russians

The Copplestone Future Wars range has some usable minis I think. The Scavengers in particular should make for excellent Marauders.

I will have a look at the TAG figures.

I have a pack of the Empress Chechnya Russians, I will have a look.

If someone would do a 28mm review article, I will put it up on the blog. I just do not feel very qualified to write it as well, I have never built a 28mm Army....

Added quite a bit more to the blog, some news, some reviews of plastic kits, mostly in 1/72 scale....and more content is coming.

Love you blog, thanks for the link to the blog with that Third World War 1987 Timeline. I guess you already know this mockumentary?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_III_(film)

World War III (Der Dritte Weltkrieg) is a 1998 German television mockumentary, directed by Robert Stone and distributed by ZDF. An English version, in collaboration with The Learning Channel, was made as well. It depicts what might have transpired if, following the overthrow of Mikhail Gorbachev, Soviet troops, under orders from a new hard-line regime, had opened fire on demonstrators in Berlin in the fall of 1989 and precipitated World War III. The film mixes real footage of world leaders and archive footage of (for example) combat exercises and news events, with newly shot footage of citizens, soldiers and political staff.

You can see it in full here:

I like your blog. What is the best T2K-like rules for skirmish and or platoon action?

[Panzerfaust 150]

I don't have so much a favorite, as a rundown of potential rules that are out there.
