from BradS Soviet Invasion of Klendathu [Klendathu][150 points]

Soviet Invasion of Klendathu! 

This week my Soviet Army is gaining momentum and I have decided to invade Klendathu! And as with any real Soviet Invasion I am sure it will go very wrong very quickly. 

Soviet Infantry

Here are the next 6 infantry from my pile of 28mm Under Fire Miniatures figures. These cold war troopers are the backbone of my Soviet force I am building. I am driving hard to have enough vehicles, figures and terrain to put on a game in the near future. Don’t be surprised if you see more Soviets next week. 

Soviet Vehicles

As you can guess, my Soviet infantry isn't going anywhere without their trusty vehicles. This week I have focused on more T-64 tanks and BMP-1 vehicles. It is easier to batch paint these then it is to do them one at a time. It takes a while to complete them but it is soooo worth it! 

Kleinhaus - German post war housing

In my research from Cold War terrain to grace my gameboard, I found that the Kleinhaus was a prominent feature in the German landscape during the Cold War time period. After the war there was a housing boom where a lot of these simple yet elegant homes were built. I imagine a Cold War battle among these types of structures so I had to make one. This is my first attempt at a custom building. I designed this and had it laser cut for me. I think it turned out nice and I plan on doing a lot more.

Game Plan

For some inspiration, I put together a game board layout to see how everything looks all together. Not a real game yet but certainly  getting to the point I can put one on. If anyone is interested in joining I live in Kansas City USA.

Points:

6 x 28mm Soviet Infantry = 30 points

4 x 28mm Soviet Vehicles = 80 points

1 x House = 20 points

1 x Klendathu : Invasion gone wrong = 20 bonus points

Total: 150 points

Well I'd be worried if Mother Russia sent these guys my way! Lovely Cold War Soviets Brad. Really like the AFVs. Does anyone else have a hard time saying BMP with out sounding like Inspecteur Clouseau? I also treally like the neat and tidy little house - was it East or West German?
