Having noticed that Model Cajander Finns (I hope it was my suggestion that caught wind  :D) as one of the new stretchgoals I think I have to pledge in this one  ;D

About finnish baggage, horse or man drawn sled or ahkio would be better.

Possible russian "elites/volunteers" with sheepskin coat and felt or long boots.
Or other mishmash, look "Memories" at http://www.mannerheim-line.com/person.htm

I was happy to see those as well. I hope there will be several variants in civilian clothing. I would like a full platoon of them  ;D

I've wanted to do Winter War for a while (and it is one of the only bits of WW2 that would look "right" in 28mm to me), but have been waiting for some decent figures to do it with - now they are on the way, and from a local company too!

Working on rules to use - I don't like Bolt Action and Arc of Fire - so current thoughts are Force on Force WW2 variant (as this really is an asymmetric war) or possibly Osprey's A World Aflame. Any other ideas?

Chain Of Command would be almost ideal for this.

Mini range seems to be made with Chain of Command in mind, so it's a great range for all of those who use that rules set but of course for the rest of us who are not (yet) familiar with CoC. I was thinking of starting with BA rules myself, at first, at least.

And the KS just reached £20000 which means the model Cajander Finns are a go! Super, as those can be so easily used for many interwar periods stuff besides the Winter War. And the Winter War Red Army chaps are also great for Interwar period and other early WW2 campaigns as well.

For accuracy, the Aussies in South Vietnam where not provided with the correct smg when designing the range. A major error in my view and something that could have been avoided if a little research was undertaken.
Best wishes,

I am kind of bummed, I had to pull out at the last min to use the money for new breaks.  :(
But I will just have to consul myself with 2nd American civil war interwar kickstarter instead :P
I wanted to use the the Russians for a possible invasion of Alaska or as very well Equipped troops from the Seattle soviet, and the Cajander Finns as militia. Just have to order them separately then.

Great to see that KS fared so great. Now I should decide if I want everything at one go in early 2014 or bit by bit starting late Oct/early Nov... like I wouldn't have too much to paint already.

I will surely use the model Cajanders (the rifle armed ones) for Interwar period as well, the Kinship Wars being one good true historical choice.

Wow, that was a premonition. Too good to be true, indeed. A year and a half on, and I've not received a thing.

Ah Kickstarter.... Well according to KS page he garnered near enough to sixty thousand quid. I suspect your minitures will be on their way when he gets back from the Bahamas. The money will have to run out eventually. ;)
