The contents of the second box I found in our storage unit included the following Russian figures and equipment:
10 x BA-64s Armoured Cars (1:76th-scale [?] models given away with a magazine)
4 x Willys Jeeps (1:72nd-scale Italieri Fast Assembly)
10 x Infantry in tunics and side caps (Pilotka)
6 x Infantry in tunics and helmets
3 x Infantry in tunics and fur hats (Ushanka)
It's getting to be quite a substantial force.
ReplyDeleteRob Young,
DeleteIt is … and it is going to take some time to assimilate them all into my existing collection.
All the best,

These all look good, Bob - you could do quite an impressive 'Charge of the Light Brigade' with all those BA-64s!
ReplyDeleteDavid in Suffolk,
DeleteCheers! From past experience, light recce tends not to last long in my battles … so the Charge of the Light Brigade is an excellent description of what to expect with ll happen to them!
All the best,
Bob
I am always impressed with your little armies. They're just so... tidy and the perfect size (in volume and quantity) for a game that's not too big and not too small.
ReplyDeleteMr. Pavone,
DeleteI love to field lots of small units rather than a few large ones as they seem to be far more interesting to create.
All the best,
Bob
Epic recon potential there
ReplyDeleteGeordie an Exiled FoG,
DeleteI hope to use the Jeeps for formation commanders and the BA-64s as light recce units.
All the best,
Bob
You must have bought an awful lot of magazines to get ten BA64s! We're they remaindered or something?
ReplyDeleteMartin Rapier,
DeleteThe BA-64s were being sold off by THE WORKS some years ago, and were in plastic and cardboard bubbles of the sort used by part-works. There was some Cyrillic printing on the cardboard, so I assume that they were made in Russia.
All the best,
Bob
BOB,
ReplyDeleteA very nice collection of figures and vehicles- the Russians will go well up against your German troops. Cheers. KEV.
Kevin Robertson (Kev),
DeleteMy collection seems to be growing very nicely indeed, and should provide me with lots of great battles.
All the best,
Bob
