From MilesR: 15mm Soviet Infantry Company and Artillery Support - September, 1942 (210 Points)

It's high time I resumed work on my Stalingrad project, so decided to paint up some 15mm Soviets as I will need a lot for the planned convention games and campaign at the club.   The minis are are from Plastic Soldier Company and, to be honest, they are so-so but you can't beat the price.  I picked up a "battalion box" which comes with over 300 figures, 12 guns and a bunch of mortars and such for under $75.00 bucks.

First up is a soviet rifle company which has 3 platoons of 4 squads each.  The platoon in the center is armed with submachine guns.  They're currently arrayed in the January 9th square - right next to Pavlov's House!

Supporting them are 4, 45mm AT guns and 4, 76mm Howitzers.  The box also has 4 76mm AT guns which I'll paint up but can't use for the game as I can not find any reference of there use during the pivotal fighting in late September for control of Central Stalingrad - which is the aspect of the battle I will be depicting.

All of the terrain you can see in the pictures was completed before the Challenge and represents 40% of the total table.  There will be a lot of future terrain related submissions as the rest of the battlefield begins to take shape.  The majority of the buildings will be scratch built.

Points wise, this entry consists of 89 15mm infantry figures and 8 guns, which should net out to 210 points (89*2) + (8*4).  

Tony from the club has graciously offered to help me paint Germans and his painting skills far exceed mine.  I've started the CAD work on some new buildings so hopefully those will get done for my next submission.
