In hopes of distracting myself from how badly I'm missing Atticus, I returned to my hobby desk to finish off what I'd started last week - a pack of White Russian infantrymen from Copplestone Castings. I've painted them with the blue shoulder boards and piping of the Izhevsk Rifle Division, as shown in the color plates of the relevant Osprey book. They served in the far east and eventually settled in Manchuria, making them ideal for my Back of Beyond project.
I'll probably end up adding an officer and a banner-bearer to this bunch.

These look great Bill! Despite having three A4 box files full of RCW Bolsheviks already, I am tempted to get a bunch more and base them individually, for use in skirmish level games!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Currently eyeing "Fistful of Lead: Bigger Battles" for these; regular FFoL has each player controlling 5-7 figures, Bigger Battles scales it up to 5-7 units. A unit of regular, trained infantrymen in those rules typically runs 10-12 figures so that works out perfectly here.
DeleteGreat work sir!
