Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Actually the 1970's were 'Modern' when I started gaming...  :?

 ;)

Course, I'm hardly the only one who'd mentioned, when they were first pushing Rocco tanks about, the '70s were still future war. ;->=

I've not played post-WWII for quite awhile, but this discussion and the thought that seems brewing is a most pleasant surprise! Where I'm now, it's all GW and FoW.

Hmm, are they the right size? Stryker's are enormous...
Other than that they look awesome :)

BTR-152s are pretty big too. The open top version could nominally transport 17 men. Two per platoon.

They look great. Carlos is right, the Soviets went through a phase of using two personnel carriers to a platoon, the BTR-152 and the open top BTR-60 and BTR-50 were used as 'half-platoon transports'... they were big.

Consider me 'stoked' by these.  :)

Actually, the Stryker is very large compared to the BTR-152.

Better top view pic:  Stryker, BTR-152, BTR-40, Mercedes G wagon and M29 Weasel.


Another side view with our M551 Sheridan kit and the Stryker kit.

I'm hoping by Spring.  I have a number of other models that are getting cast right now, so I'm hoping these can go right after.  The Lenco Bearcat for US SWAT and Iraqi security is due any day, as is the Mercedes G wagon FAV.

The BTR's will go to casting along with the US Marine iFAV and the P4.

It's casting...  I have the molds done for the body and will be doing the wheels this weekend.  This will be for a small LAF release...

New BTR-40 masters are being printed right now.

A larger company B release with a new set of moderns, miniatures, weapons, accessories and a partnered set of rules will come together this fall ;-)
