I managed to get all of my Soviet MEGABLITZ collection out of its storage boxes and onto my tabletop ... and then realised just how much I have.
The full collection can be seen in the following two photographs:
The figures and vehicles in the front have already been organised into formations. These are (from top to bottom):
The figures and vehicles at the back have yet to be organised into larger formations and include:
This is certainly enough to form the basis of quite a sizeable 'army', although it is a little light on artillery.

- A Tank Corps

- 14 Motor Transport stands
- 4 Horse-drawn Transport stands
- 2 Artillery Limber stands
- 1 Anti-tank Gun stand (+ 1 limber stand)
- 1 Field Gun stand (+ 1 limber stand)

That's starting to look like a respectable collection now Bob; and of course, immaculately finished and varnished, as is your wont.

Chris Kemp,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment ... and I hope that you like the equivalent German collection.
All the best,
Bob
Very nice Bob- you should be pleased with how that all looks together.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pete.
Impressive! Seeing this collection, and your battles in past postings, I find it tempting to explore the Megablitz game system...
ReplyDeleteit's just a step up (in command level) from Command decision after all... :-)
Pete,
ReplyDeleteWhat surprised me was how much I had in the collection that was yet to be allocated to a larger formation.
All the best,
Bob
Archduke Piccolo,
ReplyDeleteThe joy of MEGABLITZ is the fact that you can build up quite a sizeable force without too much effort. It is also possible to use some of those 'one off' model vehicles that you might have built years ago and never found a use for.
By the way, although we tend to use 20mm-scale models (they are still quite cheap and easy to find), there is no reason why other scales could not be used.
A recent 'convert' to MEGABLITZ (The Dancing Cake Tin) has been writing blog entries about his Soviet Army here.
All the best,
Bob
