Although I have been very busy helping to organise VCOW and trying to do work on my next PORTABLE WARGAME book, I have had time to begin organising part of my renovated 20mm-scale Russian World War Two collection into 'formations in boxes'.
I now have five such formations, and they are shown below.
1st Rifle Division
2nd Rifle Division
3rd Rifle Division
1st Tank Corps
2nd Tank Corps
I have enough renovated infantry figures to organise at least another three Rifle Divisions, but as yet I do not have enough gun crews.
With my previously organised Axis forces, I certainly have enough stuff available to try out my campaign rules ... but first I need to finish re-writing RED FLAGS & IRON CROSSES.

These units look fantastic Bob. I really like the tractors and the armoured cars.
ReplyDeleteMaudlin Jack Tar,
DeleteCheers!
The tractors were scratch-built using bits from the Airfix US half-track, and the armoured cars are diecast Russian models that were sold by THE WORKS some years ago.
All the best,
Bob
I am on edge waiting for you to start your campaign. Notwithstanding all your equally important projects, I can’t wait to see this one come to fruition.
ReplyDeleteSteve8,
DeleteHopefully I’ll be able to complete the first stage of this project in the near future.
All the best,
Bob
I am curious about the scale? How many models make up a brigade/battalion etc. ?
ReplyDeleteSteve8,
DeleteI am using one AFV to represent an regiment-sized unit, one gun and two crew (and a possible towing vehicle) to represent about 36 guns, and four figures (plus transport if appropriate) to represent an infantry regiment. I've also included a single figure or armoured car to represent reconnaissance and a single figure (plus appropriate transport) to represent the divisional commander and the HQ. This is similar to the scale used in HEXBLITZ.
Therefore the 1st German Infantry Division has:
* 1st Div HQ (a staff car)
* A General figure
* 3 x Infantry Regiments (a total of 12 figures)
* 1 x Artillery Regiment (1 gun, 2 figures, and 1 towing vehicle)
* 1 x Anti-tank Battalion (1 gun, 2 figures, and 1 towing vehicle)
It has yet to have its recce element added, which will probably be a motorcycle.
All the best,
Bob
