6mm Russian Civil War

I am preparing now about 120 bases of Russian infantry, cavalry and other troop types. The figures are Irregular and specific for the Civil War period, coming from the collection of Francesco.

I am preparing:

• Soviet infantry bases
• Siberian infantry bases
• Mounted cossacks (also for WWI)
• Dismounted cossacks lying behind horses (also for WWI)
• Cavalry bases (also for WWI)
• Heavy artillery (also for WWI)
• AA Trucks
• HMGs (also for WWI)
• Pontoon wagon (especially for WWI)

Command bases of all types will need an additional purchase from Irregular.

Photos soon.

Lots of information good to organise a few games may be found here.
