Overview of my 3mm Cold War Armies
WIP checklist and overview of my Cold War units.
Started to reorganize and rebase them in late October 2024. This is a long term project that will likely take me at least one year, probably longer.
The West German Panzergrenadier battalion in 1989
Emerging from the motorized infantry (“Grenadiere”) of the mid-1950s, the mechanized infantry (“Panzergrenadiere”) formed the mainstay of the West German Army through and beyond the times of Cold War.
Seeing a lot of changes in structure and equipment over the decades, the Panzergrenadiere developed into a highly mobile and well armored asset with decent firepower.
In this article we will have a closer look at the structure, equipment and capabilities of the different battalion types in 1989 and how they can be represented in Fistful of TOWs 3.

Review – Mayhem mass battle fantasy wargaming rules
3mm miniatures are perfect for mass battles. I was looking for a suitable fantasy rules set every now and then but never found something checking all marks.
This changed lately when i came across the Mayhem fantasy rules set by Brent Spivey.
Let us take a deep look at the rules set that opened the door to fantasy wargaming for me.
Fistful of TOWs 3 – a rules review
Fistful of TOWs 3 (or short FFT3), is a very powerful rules system for 20th and 21st century engagements of roughly company to brigade size. In the book you will find everything to play battles from World War 2 through the Arab-Israeli era, Vietnam, the Cold War right to ultra-modern times.
In this review, we will go through all aspects of the book. If you are into realistic battles set in modern times, you’ll for sure learn to love it as much as i do.
The West German Armored Recon Battalion in 1989
Recon units are a vital part of every army. In this article we will be looking at the West German Armored Recon Battalion in 1989 and how to represent it in Fistful of TOWs3.
