Hey Folks,
Long time no post, and very little work on my Man Barbie's as well. Real Life can be a pain like that and I took a job that involved commuting to another city about 5 months ago, and have been busy ever since.
A few lads and I have been getting into 6mm Modern using lovely GHQ miniatures, which while not the cheapest have amazing detail at this scale. We have based the rules on Games Workshops Epic:40k Armageddon rules with some tweaks and self made army lists and unit stats. These are continually evolving btu we are up to version 2.8 of the lists and we cover pretty much every Gulf State from Israel to Iran and most of the Western powers too (and Soviet Russia!)
Pooch has been busy: http://warpooch.blogspot.co.nz/search/label/6mm%20Moderns
One of our mates Andy has some awesome Iraqi's, and some awesome terrain too but he isn't the blogger type :)
I originally started with Israelis, and based my force around composite Combat Group from an Armoured Battalion that has been rapidly assembled. This mixes Regular Army units (initiative 1+) and Reserve Army units (initiative 2+) backed up by some serious IAF Air Support!
So far its at around 2000pts but I have more to add on the painting table.

| The Combat Group so far. Left to Right: Merkava IV Coy, Cobra Gunships, Mech Infantry Company in M113 Zeldas, Chapperal SAM's, M125 Mortars, F-16'sand a Magach (upgraded M60) Company |
 |
| Magach 6's and 7's: Upgraded and Up armoured M60A3's |
 |
| F-16's in IAF colours on Ground Attack Missions |
 |
| Mechanised Infantry in M113 Zeldas |
 |
| Chapperal SAM's and M125 Mortar Carrierw |
 |
| Cobras! Super cool :) |
 |
| Merkava IV Company. These are Bad Ass so I mainly use them as Merkava III's which are a bit more tame, but look very similar. |

 |
| Close up of the Magach types. Magach 6 is an M60 with ERA while the Mgach 7 has added laminate armour. I ahev added some stowage and flags etc made out of tin foil. |
Next up I have more Infantry and Azcherzit ("Evil Bitch!) Heavy APC's as well as a few more tanks and some Recon to add to take me to 3000pts.
Played a few games so far, and on the whole they preform pretty well and are heaps of fun.
Next up: Iranians :)
Cheers,
Jason
