RCW - The end is near

I'm finally getting into a position to claim that the Bolsheviks are completed. Just 2 more units to go and the lead pile is cleared. So continuing on from the last post, here is the armoured car. It is an Austin-Putilov, the model is a 3d print from paint and glue miniatures. I added a base to help secure and support the front wheels.



I have deliberately left off any markings so that I can also use it for the Whites, when I eventually get around to painting them. I then took the opportunity to replace all the flags on my units, these definitely look much better than the last ones.


So the force so far consists of 2 units of cavalry, 5 units of infantry, 2 veteran infantry units, a unit of Siberians and 2 units of Sailors. Supported by a HMG team, artillery and a handful of vehicles. Just 1 infantry and 1 cavalry unit to go.






This should give me enough for some decent sized games. I've even ordered 'Setting the East a blaze' rules from Caliver books. Can't wait for my copy to arrive and I can plan some games in against the Brits for now.

    LOL - I have at least this many Bolsheviks in my collection - but another forty-odd should be en route from Brigade Games any day - yes, its the infamous July 4 2021 order - I finally got a response out of the owner and seems like he will actually send the figures I paid him for 12 months ago!

    I'm glad you are finally getting that sorted. I need to think about starting some Whites

    Great work, nice to see you feel closer to being able to run the sort of game you want.
