6mm Russian WWI (or Civil War)
I inherited from Francesco a box filled with Irregular miniatures, painted for the Russian Civil War. I plan to base them, organising them for GWSHII, on 30mm square bases, 2mm thick rounded corners, also retouching them with lighter colours and very light brown bases.
I will have enough to play all scenarios from All Fine Men.
- Uniform highlights:
- Green sky
- Green grey
- Golden Olive
- Bases
- Pale sand ( I have so far tried Iraqi Sand, it works well)
In fact I checked what is ready to be based:
- at least 100 infantry bases, probably 150 adding other russian infantry types.
- around 25 HMGs
- 5 single officers to make Regimental HQs
- 2 Headquarters (divisional)
- 1 staff car (to build the Corps HQ)
- about 50 cavalry bases, both Uhlans, Cossacks and standard cavalry
- 10 field guns and crew (they are 6″ siege guns model 1905)
- 1 field gun with limber and horses, probably austro-hungarian (Irregular pack, with limber, costs too much, others to be bought from Baccus)
- about 40 dismounted cavalry bases, with horses laid down
- 5 Russian armoured cars
- one armoured train (but no railroad)
Overall I should be ready to prepare three russian infantry divisions, probably one cavalry division.
I am missing, just ordered to Baccus:
- 1 x GWR05 – Russian Pioneers
- 3 x GWR11 – 76mm Putilov field gun and crew (12 models)
- 1 x GWR13 – M10 152mm howitzer and crew (4 models)
- 2 x GWR12 – M10 122mm howitzer and crew (8 models)
- 1 x GWR04 – Russian Headquarters
Here some photos, I hope someone recognises the catalogue ID so that I may eventually buy few more. I also spotted some other russian infantry types and probably some italians (alpini, bersaglieri?) and some Austrians.
