Chechnya 1994 - Russian Reinforcements



Far to many projects recently and the release of Sharp Practice 2 has not helped me keep on plan. However it has given me the focus on clearing the decks before the postman arrives with reinforcements to bolster lead mountain.

The recent adoption of 1980's Laserburn rule set has resulted in some great modern games recently, a rule set that balances AFV's and Infantry without resulting in Flames of War style tank battles or 5 infantry a side micro gaming.

However they are bloody affairs and extra infantry were definately needed to give the table top commander some extra options on the day.

The latest batch are from Eureka's MVD Russian range differs from the early troops as these are waering the Maska helmet, both with the visor and without, fighting in this must have been tough, they also give the Russian's a slight Sci-fi look, great for that 2050 feel I was thinking about in an earlier post.


I opted for one 9 man section in the light Brown cold weather gear which mix in well with the first batch of painted troops.


The second section of 7 men so they fit within a BMP are in the more commonly photographed urban camo.

Next up Russian Heavy Weapons and Supports.

  2. The wind will remain stronger with speeds around 15 to 25 mph leading to blowing snow and reduced visibilities. Cold temperatures are on the way for tonight as lows fall all the way to the lower double digits to the lower teens. We'll have sunshine for wednesday, but highs will only be in the 20's.

    Some point, guys have to take responsibility for not doing that. That's one thing I stressed to the guys Step up and be responsible for yourself. Guys at the big league level, by the time they get there, should know how to do that stuff move runners, get a guy home from third with less than two outs.

    I have a lot of work to do. That to me is exciting. It's not intimidating. "Basically kids used to go around causing utter havoc in the Merseyside streets, and a favourite trick was to fashion a rudimentary bazooka out of a length of drainpipe and a good sized firework rocket, with which they would take aim at passing taxis. I never once felt scared in Liverpool, softest of southern softies though I am, except between about the 30th October and 10th November when suddenly it turned into Hanoi circa 1968." 28th over: Pakistan 125 1 (Farhat 72, Yousuf 19) Farhat continues to finds gaps on the offside, bringing up the 50 partnership (off 80 balls) with a nice prod through deep cover, before Yousuf hits a classy cover drive for boundary. Hoggard continues to struggle, and I'm getting increasingly worried about him ahead of the Ashes (tags: Cheap Real Yeezys, Discount Jordan Shoes Wholesale, Cheap Yeezys).
