When Graham hinted the next G/B was going to be Eastern Europe I dug out this nice set of Russian figures. You might have seen my destroyed Elephant tank in my albums, so I thought, great, use the figures with the tank, job done!
Then, clever me, come the start, I would just have to put the soldiers together, make a simple dio. then sit back and have fun watching the G/B develop....WRONG!
I forgot the rules state photos of the boxes at the start, so as I always sling the boxes I am stuffed for July 1st!! "Done it again, dad!"
So I had to make the figures and present it now, firstly to follow the rules re. boxes ect. and secondly, so I can get my thinking gear into refresh mode!
The scene depicts a Russian fighting patrol advancing into E. Germany passing a burned out tank, which has the Russian word for 'revenge' painted on by the invaders. The tank, having fired it's last shell was hit by 2 A/P rounds which set fire to the interior of the tank and due to there being no ammo left, there was no violent explosion it just burned fiercely inside, the occupants had no chance of escape.
Some local civilians braved the invading Russian Army to make 6 rough wooden crosses......
I hope you like this offering and all comments and constructive criticisms are welcome.
If you look at this build Ian, I hope the translation is right. I Googled it!
