Soviet Rifle Company Completed

Wow - finally a project done!  It only took me most of the summer.  Here is my 15mm Soviet Rifle Company based for Arty Conliffe's ever-popular Crossfire rules but these guys could be used for just about any rules set.  I may use them for BKC or even GHQ if the mood strikes me.  There are three, four-stand rifle platoons each with a platoon leader, a heavy weapons squad with HMG (commanded by the Kommissar... you know where the HMG will be....) and of course the COmpany Command Stand.  I'm very pleased with how they turned out and I have to admit - besides repetition, they painted up rather easily.  Huzzah!  
These tough-looking troops are ready to take on the fascist invader!

Wave after wave of humanity

Different angle.


Heavy Weapons Squad commanded by the Kommissar.  More than likely it will be placed at the rear of the formation to discourage retreat!

  1. Monty,
    Be sure to come back often. I will be finishing up a converged Battalion of 1777 Grenadiers from the Saratoga Campaign and the Light Battalion after that prior to starting my modern skirmish forces.

  2. Sounds good, Steve I will do - I'm a big fan of Crossfire too (although I was in the 90's) sad how it never got the recognition it deserved - brilliant concept!

  5. Al, Paul - thanks for the feedback! Cannot wait to hear you guys when I start my modern stuff. Plenty of 20mm modern and Vietnam stuff. Maybe I'll even get a platoon of ANZACs in there to liven things up :)
