A community for all kinds of cold war miniature wargaming. All kinds of cold war related wargames are welcome here, especially smaller or miniature agnostic ones.

Examples are games like A Fistful of Tows, Cold War Commander, Team Yankee, or Ambush Alley: Cold War Gone Hot

Preferred content includes painted minis, kitbashed minis, terrain, AARs, homebrew rules or discussion/questions around wargaming in the cold war era. Of course historical discussion related to the topic is also allowed here.

As cold war minis are not as ubiquitous as WW2 or fantasy minis i made a list for sourcing everything needed. I will try to keep the list updated. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

The List:

  • QRF Miniatures: Large source for 15mm vehicles and minis, including minor nations

  • Skytrex Miniatures: Some US, British and Soviet vehicles, including rarer Soviet command, FIST and radar vehicles

  • Battlefront Miniatures: Team Yankee range, basic range of infantry and vehicles for major and some minor nations, including plastic miniatures

  • Peter Pig Miniatures: Vietnam War miniatures for both sides, including vehicles. “Modern Africa” range, suitable for African conflicts

  • Quality Castings: Nice ranges for WP vehicles and Infantry, Vietnamese, North Koreans, Mid-East forces, US and British.

  • Flashpoint Miniatures: Large range of Vietnam era miniatures, 90s era US miniatures (Ranger/Delta Force), Somalians and Taliban

  • Roskopf Modelle: Good source for West-German vehicles, must be sourced from eBay though, because the company is defunct.

  • Oddzial Osmy: Good source for Polish and Soviet infantry

  • Thingiverse and Cults: Quite a lot of free vehicles can be downloaded, and 3D printed from there.

  • Etsy and Shapeways: Some useful 3D prints can be bought there.

  • Wargaming 3D: STLs for 3D printing can be sourced from there

  • ArmyBits: STLs for 3D printing can be sourced from there in addition to resin and metal models. A good variety of British, Soviet (Including VDV and Speznas) and US minis, including towed artillery and their crews.

  • Faller, Noch, Auhagen, Vollmer, Kibri: H0 scale buildings and accessoires, which also fit 1:100/15mm scale wargaming. Very useful for Cold War Germany/Central Europe.
