Title: Soviets for Chain of Command
Post by: Lardy Rich on April 22, 2014, 07:53:11 AM

With Salute out of the way, I am having a bit of a break and assembling some new forces.  I have plans to do some Spanish Civil War stuff and some modern Afghanistan for the variant being worked on at present, but the first project out of the blocks is a Soviet SMG platoon with supports for late war, Kuban Pocket to Berlin 1945. 

I really fancy the SMG platoon as I reckon they will suit my style of play.  I've put some reports on Lard Island News tracing my progress.  You can find them here: 

1.  Starting with the tank support:  http://toofatlardies.co.uk/blog/?p=2664

4.  More supports and a slight diversion:  http://toofatlardies.co.uk/blog/?p=2696

I guess I should have posted these one at a time, but as I'm officially on holiday I hope I can plead casual disorganisation as an excuse!  I'm just waiting on a few bits in the post and then I can crack on with the supports and get the toys on the table.

I do particularly like the camo on the Panther.

A small update is now up at:  http://toofatlardies.co.uk/blog/?p=2721

Two rather unpleasant politicos for my forthcoming campaign.

And another update here:

I am vaguely running out of things to do until the final bits arrive, but then a 60 kiloton Man-Flu bomb has just exploded in my head, so maybe slowing down is inevitable...
