Working on a project to making eight armies in 6mm for this setting
post war: a Canada/Commonwealth supported exile army of First Nations People, a Mormon Fundamentalists, EU Western Intervention Army doing "aid" for various European Companies/Banks, and Colonial settler built around old national guard formations.
For early was going to use the Middle East Army lists. IDF for regular/marines, Lebanese Militia for left wing militias/gang alliance , Syrian Army for right wing militia, and Western backed for National Guard. Biggest issue I think the armies will look a lot like in the early war.
My questions is how to make the armies look different ?Not a lot of Soviet/Chinese gear floating in these parts. So only US/NATO. The EU is going to be built around Brigade Models Hammer's Slammers/Eurofed
Flames of War Team Yankee are bringing out Red Dawn to their collection at Xmas so there could be some ideas and vehicles etc that could be used from that ?

Looking at your date, I would look at Chinese kit?

Here is the UN Mission for America (Western Intervention)
Models are all Hanmer's Slammers Army starter 6mm one is an infantry unit with ss APCs hmg the other infantry is cav both are prof. 4 Techs are militia I figured MPs cause they are common in UN Missions and Reg Tanks std guns. Not yet painted yet. Liability unit is the command cars from the Slammers plan to get classic trucks.
I plan to stick with the 15mm measurements cause modern/future weapons are long range. I refuse Facebook these days cause way to much toxic on it.
Phil Barker years ago wrote a piece about 1/300th modern gaming (using the WRG rules) which had fictional armies of IIRC Fenris and Mohawks.
The Mohawks being in his words "red indians" used Soviet / Warpac equipment......
That stuck in my brain.
The First Nation army could used Soviet / Russian equipment as Alaska is very close to Siberia...
I toyed with the idea of a Twilight 2000 setting in Canada. I had read that the British Army had Chieftains stationed permanently in Canada for the use of British crews when on excise there. Throw in Canadian army Leopards and retired Centurions for an Anglo-Canadian army.
First Nation / Mohawk which I envisaged as more like light infantry.
Then French Canadian separatists supported by the French supplying AMX-30 etc...

My First Nation is being supported by Canada as a buffer from a couple of the factions. The Warsaw Pact stuff never thought of that.
