So, inspired by "O" Group, I have purchased some Russian, early war stuff. Now I had never thought much about using the Russians, but with the release of "O" Group, and my amassing of a fair amount of early war German, I have decided to take the plunge. The rules do not require a large force, so I am hoping that I can get away with a relatively small amount of troops, vehicles and guns. Hell most artillery is off board, so little needed to buy there, in fact the biggest amount of stuff bought were the 12 GAZ trucks to tow what ever needs to be towed.
I have decided to go with quick build plastic kits for tanks, vehicles and guns. A mix of PSC and Pegasus should do the trick. For the infantry I am relying on Zvezda (for specialist units), PSC, Pegasus and Italeri. I am planning on basing the infantry two to a stand, with 3 to a stand to represent green troops.
So far 3 trucks and 4 guns built today (just got them last night) and my rattle can of green sits ready to be used!
I love the wargamer optimism. "I am hoping that I can get away with a relatively small amount of troops, vehicles and guns. " Oh, I bought 12 trucks . :) It sounds like one of my projects.
ReplyDeleteWell I confess this project has led me to pick up the Kursk supplement for Battlegroup and I plan to pick up a few more vehicles than I thought I would, but O Group does keep the numbers down...
DeleteI also fear that I may start looking at winter war which would mean more troops and some white washed vehicles, of well...
Urrah?
