From MarkG – More 28mm Soviets, and Support Weapons (180 points)




So for one of my final submissions I have the remainder of the Soviet force that I’ve been building for the Chain of Command eastern front campaign “Operation Winter Storm.”  They all got an outing on the wargames table 2 hours after I took the pictures.




All the infantry figures (24 of them) are from Artizan Designs, apart from the T34 tank with tank commander, HMG, Flamethrower and Mortar teams which are from Warlord Games. The slogan on the tank reads "победа" which means "Victory."








The Anti-Tank rifle team is from First Corps Miniatures.



For gaming flexibility, most of these are in a mix of winter and autumn uniforms (the padded Telogreika uniform).



All are posed in front of one of those lovely 4Ground Russian cottages (just 5 more of the fiddly monsters still to build) and a mix of those  lovely trees and hedges from The Last Valley. The terrain board is my own concoction.



So far balancing work, life and painting has been the main challenge of this enterprise. I have a large mound of WW1 French to finish, and I may (or may not) pass my target of 750 points. We’ll see.

    1. Thank you Clint. They got handled pretty roughly by the Germans on their first outing. Must do better next time :-)
