The Purpose of this page is to bring together all the different posts that I have written around the Soviet Army. The posts on this page should provide a comprehensive guide to collecting building and organising a Cold War Soviet Army of the 1980s
The page covers
- Orbat - Organisational and Equipment detail for the Cold War Soviet Army of the 1980's
- Wargames Units - Eye Candy on the units produced and details on model and figure manufacturers
- Modelling - Posts covering general modelling topics relevant to the Cold War Soviet Army
- Reviews - Reviews of Models, Figures, Books, Web Resources and Products used in producing the Army
- Bibliography - The list of reference books I have used are outlined in the Cold War Soviet Reference books Link below.

TTPs
The Tactical Techniques and Procedures are about just that they cover how operations were conducted largely at the Tacticle level, which for me is Regiment and below. These form the basis for the development of Scenarios which tend to be set within the operational and organisational context of the Orbat posts.
