The Russians are Coming!

[fsn]

My 1941 Russian armour. I use a 1:1 ratio, so each tank represents - a tank.   

On the left a company of BT7's. On the right a couple of recce units BA64s and T60s, and in the middle a mixed company of T28s and T35s. Yes, there should be another T35, but it broke down on the way to the start point. 

I also seem to have an extra BT7. This means either a) I made 2 mistakes in ordering or b) non-Pendraken items morph into Pendraken ones if left unattended. Obviously b) is the correct solution. I may just use the extra BT as a command unit.

This is my first experiment in basing vehicles, and using static grass. Individual tanks are identified on the rear of the base using a series of coloured dots (e.g. 2 blue dots are 2nd tank of 3rd platoon.)

Still to go the AT, artillery and the infantry.

very impressive Mr Nobbs

I like the aged look you have acheived

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Nicely done FSN.

I was just saying, "I don't like it Carruthers. Its too quite out there."

Now I know why. You've been working hard! Good stuff, Nobby.

Those are BA10's. i'm sure you know that and it was just a typo 

Great job on the painting!

I love tanks representing ermmm... tanks 

[fsn]

We're both wrong. They're BA6s. (SV67).   

I've got some BA10s on order.

You're right, didn't take a close enough look at the turret!

[Wulf]

Lovely - whose T35 are they?

[Womble67]

Very nice

Take care

Static grass really lifts the bases

I don't like to talk about it. I fell so unclean.    Minifigs.

I'm torn. I still can't get my head around tufts of grass chasing tanks around a battlefield. 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Think of them as a snapshot in time as the unit pauses.

[getagrip]

Love 'em

Looks good, end of discussion

Could pretend they are Nebelwoofers in camouflage?

Do they come from the same factory as PaK lunches?

Thought so, the only ones I know of in 10mm. Although PitHead are doing one sometime...

Or worse yet, when they drive up a city stret...

They've just moved next to a similar tuft. Battlefields are covered with them

I find it enhances my suspension of disbelief but I can understand why it might reduce yours!

[fsn]

Getting there. Think I may need to add some static grass to some of the infantry / mortar / HMG




We have ...
Squadron of 10 BT7
Squadron of 10 T35 / T28
Company (2 platoons) of Mechanised Infantry
Recce of BA6, BA64, T60
3 Maxims, 3 50mm mortars, 3 45mm AT guns, 4 field guns. 

But I've got the Soviet bug now, and I've got some 120mm mortars coming, as well as a KV1/2 squadron to give me some alternatives.

[Fenton]

Thats a lot of stuff
