It's a very interesting but brutal conflict, perfect for wargaming

It's a 1/72 model from Easy Model (available on eBay), despite the stated scale, it's not far off 28mm.

The Russian Para HMG continues to pour covering fire into the village



Seeing their comrades approaching the crash site, the helicopter crew make a dash for it



The Russian Paras attempt to give covering fire, while taking fire themselves

Russian infantry debus near the crash site



A Chechen sniper opens up from the house overlooking the bridge, but misses his target. In turn, Russian infantry and the  BTR-80 shred the wooden structure with machine gun fire.

The Chechen Wolf Pack on the far right flank, finally move into a position which allowed them to open up on the helicopter crew, injuring all 3 men



The supporting Paras watch as the helicopter crew go down in front of their position

Hearing the fate of the crew over the radio, Russian Commander Nikolai Gerasimov orders the BTR-80 crew to swing their vehicle left in an effort to screen the rescue
