@DrAEFox Russian/Soviet context so not sure if it is exactly what you're after but @siobhanhearne has worked/is working on things that might be relevant https://t.co/vFL01VxObw.

@beckybeckyb @SeaSpitfires @wessexarch @NewForestArch @thinkdefence @RE_Hist_Society @REMuseum Really interesting! Thanks for sharing, the 3d printed model is very cool.

[Tom Jackson @REhistresearch]

@beckybeckyb I will ask him! If there is enough interest there is a chance. Yes I enjoyed the briefings and background information too, it all added to an enjoyable experience.

[Tom Jackson @REhistresearch]

@beckybeckyb I did bring along two other wargames if anyone was interested, as the day was busy they remained upstairs in the office. As a simpler and shorter game something like https://t.co/KVmyaifnqK is be worth a look! There are groups that wargame all over and gaming cafes are a thing

[Tom Jackson @REhistresearch]

@beckybeckyb @UNARMOUREDworld @REMuseum @RE_Hist_Society You certainly had me worried at a fair few moments! Hope you enjoyed it, it was a great way to spend a few hours on a Saturday.

@ANDERSONUKIP @LawDavF @iainmclaren @IanDunt Assuming you mean the Argentine Type 42s. They were used to support the initial Argentine landings, took part in attempts to challenge the British Task Force at sea, and supported the air attacks at Bluff Cove.
