This group consist of a 10 man squad of Siberian veterans, a medium machine gun team and a Soviet commander and aide using state of the art Soviet communications gear.
I got a kick out of the commander with the megaphone!
A shot of the Soviet army to date - a good bit more to add.....
Lets see, 15 figures a 5 each equals 75 points. The machine is pretty small and probably doesn't deserve any unique points on its' own.
Miles you are producing in both quality and quantity. These are a great group of Soviets. The figure with the Megaphone reminds me of the scene in "Enemy at the Gate" where they give every second soldier a rifle (the unarmed guy is supposed to pick up the gun when the first one is shot). Plus, megaphones don't rely on fluky electronics. And I think that the MG counts as a crew served weapons so it gets you 10 more points.
Nice additions Miles - I'm loving the megaphone guy too!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, you'll never get those tanks on those ships though
ReplyDeleteThen I'll have to build some bigger ships....
DeleteThey look fantastic! I too dig the officer with the megaphone! " First man take Rifle, Second man take Bullets. Man with Rifle fall, man with Bullets pick up Rifle." Yeah, I've seen that one a few times too many. I'm looking to see that car with the loudspeakers now! ;)
ReplyDeleteOK I should fess up to posting this in error. I had meant to post this tomorrow at 5pm, but had calendar issues. Miles do suppose there's a self help group for us somewhere.
ReplyDeleteAnd Curt, you can kneecap me later! For now enjoy these fugures from Mikes with more yo come tomorrow.
Cheers, Peter
Nice Russkis, Comrade Reid :)
ReplyDeleteThat poor chap has spilled his vino! Nice looking reds you have there Miles.
ReplyDeleteNice work comrade Miles! Great start for a Soviet horde!
ReplyDeleteI do like the mgephone man and the poor chap who clearly turned up last to the muster field - " right, you're last, you get to carry the Molotov cocktail"
ReplyDeletebags of character, real nice work
ReplyDeleteIan
I do like a good Red horde, nice work!
ReplyDeleteNow you just need a snow covered defensive set of foxholes for them.
ReplyDeleteGreat work comrade!
ReplyDeleteVery nice veterans Товарищ (Tovarishch) all the way from Siberia! Excellent additions for crushing the foes of the motherland!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments. The bulk of the force is done but I still need to add a few support units.
ReplyDeleteFYI Miles. Not only can't I use a calendar, I can't add either. The MG is worth 10 points, giving you 85 in total.
DeleteCheers PD
Nice work. Reminds me I have a couple of boxes of unloved 1/72 Soviets.
ReplyDeleteReally nice, the Soviet horde!
ReplyDeleteNot bad at all! That soviet horde is shaping up nicely.
ReplyDeleteThe megaphone officer is definitely the star of this excellent entry. Analogue beats digital every time!
ReplyDeleteLooking good Miles!
