From TomM: 6mm Italian riflemen for the CSIR (12 pts)

  While working away on my finale entry, I did manage to complete some small sideprojects in the meantime.



And this one is the first of those, some 6mm infantry to bolster the ranks of the CSIR.

The models, produced by Adler, are standard italian riflemen with the occasional smg mixed amongst them, but as they are for use with the Blitzkrieg Commander rules, that doesn`t make any difference game wise.



I went for a dark olive colourscheme on them, in order to "blend in" with the dark green soil, though it doesn't really make a difference.  An infantry force facing the might of mother Russia's tank companies probably will spell disaster any way.



But that won`t mean I plan on holding the head low, as the brave carabinieri will take to the battle with panache, head up high, and a lot of galantry!

Or at least yield 12 points to this years tally, that counts for something as well ;-)

  2. If they blend into the background enough, maybe the Russians will ignore them?
