Plans for gaming the Cold War in 15mm

I am the supreme example of a wargames butterfly.  I fly from period to period with the attention span of a confused goldfish, although there is one exception to this. 

The so-called Cold War has always been of interest to me, probably because I grew up through it. I started off with a lot of 1/300^th forces and played with Modern Spearhead. Then I got diverted into skirmish gaming and got some Cold War figures in 28mm. Now with the widespread availability of 15mm models I am again spending money on 1980s period figures. In my defence I have stayed on one period and I can reuse all my existing 15mm WW2 scenery. ;)

So, I am sorting out a mixed bag of forces, I got British in the Armies Army kickstarter and have recently picked up a lot of Soviet stuff second hand. I have also bought some Battlefront Germans as well. My aim is to have a reinforced platoon for each of the British and German forces while the Soviet forces will end up at company strength. Below is a brief idea of the force structures I am going for, any comments on mistakes would be much appreciated. I have used the old WRG army list books as a guide to what is required. These lists do things by groups so I have had to guess what is in the group in some cases.

    British Mech Infantry Platoon

       Platoon HQ with 1 Fv432, 1 command group and 1 light mortar group

       3 sections each with 1 Fv432, 2 rifle groups, 1 LMG and 1 MAW

I have translated this into the following

HQ – 1 Fv432, 1 CO, 1 SNCO, 1 RTO and 1 light mortar man.

Sections – 1 Fv432, 1 NCO, 1 LMG with 2 crew, 1 MAW gunner, 4 riflemen.

Support wise I have the following

A tank platoon of 3 Chieftains (I may get 1 more as they could be 3 or 4 strong)

AT section of 2 Milan teams (1 additional Fv432 needed)

AA section of 2 Javelin teams in a Spartan

SFMG team to be carried in the command Fv432 if needed

   

     German Heimschutzkommando Platoon

       Platoon HQ with 1 M113 or Marder, 1 command group, 1 LMG and 1 Milan

       2 squads each with 1 M113 or Marder, 1 rifle group, 1 LMG and 1 MAW

Translated into

HQ – 1 M113, 1 CO, 1 RTO, 1 LMG with 2 crew and 1 Milan with 2 crew

Squads – 1 M113, 1 NCO, 1 LMG with 2 crew, 1 MAW gunner and 3 riflemen

Support

A Panzer platoon with 3 Leopard 1

AT section of 4 Jagpanzer Kannone

AA section of 1 Redeye team attached to PHQ

I will also get some Marders to give me the option of "upgrading" them to regulars.

 

    3 Soviet BMP Platoons each with

       Platoon HQ with 1 BMP, 1 command group, 1 rifle group and 1 LMG

       2 squads each with 1 BMP, 1 rifle group, 1 infantry group and 1 LMG

Turns into 3 platoons each with

HQ – 1 BMP, 1 CO, 1 NCO, 1 SAW, 1 RPG, 4 riflemen

Squad 1 – 1 BMP, 1 SNCO, 1 NCO, 1 SAW, 1 RPG, 4 riflemen

Squad 2 – 1 BMP, 1 LMG with 2 crew, 1 NCO, 1 SAW, 1 RPG, 4 riflemen

Support

2 Tank Platoons each with 4 T-72/80.

1 AA section of 1 SA-7 team in 1 BMP

There are a few other options I am considering getting, some recce vehicles for each force are a prime example, but that's the plan for now. Just need to get on with painting it all after Christmas. And find a set of rules for it, current options are FEBA, Force on Force and Sabre Squadron.  Decisions decisions.
