In fact, Ukrainian mercenaries fought on the side of the Chechens - against the Russians)))

Their are mercenaries FFS, they will fight for anyone who pays them.

Your comments never cease to make me smile, just because you are Russian, you think it gives you a monopoly to criticize any posts which relate to your country. If you can't say something positive, please keep comments to yourself, as I am not interested.

I think what your doing is outstanding, i sense your pain though, from the sniping you keep getting. Do not worry about it, your work and enjoyment rise far above it.

I don't usually rise to negative comments, but this bloke is just arrogant and bloody rude at times.

The first Russian private military company appeared in 2013. It was registered in Hong Kong (Russian laws prohibited such formations). She was engaged in the protection of ships from Somali pirates and military training.
So in the Chechen wars (1994-96, 1999-2001) there could be no mercenaries on the Russian side. There were contractors, i.e. people who were formally accepted into the service of the Russian armed forces. They did not have any special units and served in regular military units.

How easy it is to judge what you don’t know)))

I am not interested in your comments, they are toy soldiers, it's meant to be a bit of fun.

What are you, the Russian Minister for accurate toy soldiers or something?

If you want to act like a dick, take yourself off to TMP.

Careful now re: stones and glass houses.

I think Cuprum, as any member, is entitled to point out, in a conductive fashion, any factual issues (I won't say errors given that I take this project to be at least to some extent fictionalized), but please remember all that Chechnya as per the board rules is a limited subject. Also, do refrain from any (implied) personal attacks, period.

I am curious about scenarios for this conflict. Are you using some reference work to create or recreate scenarios or just winging it? If winging it are you intimately familiar with the conflict or just using scenarios of a generic nature? I ask as the conflict interests me but I have no real knowledge of it at all and might want to try actions from it (like I need another period to distract me!) and am curious for ideas where to start. I prefer my scenarios to be typical of the actions which may have taken place as opposed to actions which I like with a veneer of period added. Thank you.

If others know a good source for an overview which may lead to scenarios please chime in (the Osprey book, a web site, board game or other book or magazine or perhaps and actual scenario publication).
