Historical Games

I recently finished up a trio of T34/76’s in 15mm for my Russians Front forces. They turned out really well – I was especially please with how the Mig Pigments rust the tracks and weather the hull. In addition, I have become much more aggressive in using washes and filters to get the vehicle to a color I like.

THE NEW TANKS...

IN ACTION

To honor the new vehicles we had to (of course) use them in a scenario. The battle was to be a meeting engagement between German and Russian forces in a Russian village circa late summer 1944.

THE VILLAGE BEFORE THE FIGHT

THE FARMHOUSE FIGHT

The scenario proved to be a lot of fun, with the fight coming down to one particular farmhouse and the back-and-forth struggle to secure it. In the end the Russians were able to retake the house, which gave them just enough victory points to claim a win. 

UGH, PANTHERS...

The new tanks gave n excellent account of themselves, although one did fall victim to the guns of the German Panther tanks. L Oh well, they are off to an excellent start with more reinforcements on the way!

OVERVIEW OF THE FIGHT

Until next time… 

Beware of hunting Panthers.
