Title: My rule-agnostic 28mm Soviets and Partisans
Post by: Sirius on 18 March 2013, 01:59:52 PM

Hi y'all

Have started (yet another) blog documenting games and projects. Hoping this one will provide a bit of insight into some of the wargaming currently happening in Cape Town, South Africa.

To start, here be some of my 28mm Soviets and their Partisan allies. Started out as single squads, for use with the Operation Squad rules, but have since seen duty in Bolt Action and Victory Decision battles, and they are due for duty in a NUTS game soon.

Its a chopped up "Berlin House" by Italeri, I believe. Part of the club scenery collection, so i am not 100% sure. I think its 1/72 scale, but works well enough in 28mm.

classy collection
from what I saw You could use most of Your partisans for RCW or SCW too
So if You plan to expand, considering the anarchist forces could be an option

Thanks for the feedback. Appreciated.

@flags-of-war: I would love to add a unit of Yugoslav partisans to my 28mm forces. Would fit right in with my ongoing "Italian Campaign 1944-45" project, as they were fairly active in northern Italy in 45, if I recall? What I like about the Tito forces is the more "uniform" partisan look that you see in some pix. Dont know enough about them presently, though... so will have to do some reading. What figures are you using?

@former user: SCW is certainly on my "future" to-do list, but I have a long way to go with more immediate project plans before I get there... ;-)
