My Long Awaited Forces for 5Core Brigade Command

Long awaited by me, at least ;)

I've got two sets of identical Warsaw Pact-equipped forces ready to go for Brigade Command play-testing, one in green and one in khaki.  I've got so much more work to do with my 6mm toys, but I was able to focus and knock two forces out so that I can help take some of the play-testing pressure off of Jozi's Tin Man, who's done all the heavy lifting so far.  Actually, the two forces still aren't completely finished: I told myself I was going to put bushes on the all the bases, but I don't think I've got the strength.  But I still need to give them a matte spray.

Here's all the stuff I've got ready, both forces, green in front and khaki in back.

Whole thing again, from the side.

 And one more.

 In Brigade Command, each stand is a company, so here is a battalion of green force T-80s.

Of which there are a total of three battalions.

And a battalion's worth of green mechanized infantry in BMP-2s.

The green force has two battalions of BMP-2s and one battalion of BMP-1s.

Each side has a battalion of Engineers, mounted in BTR-50s.

And then I made up a 'specialist' battalion for each side, using light armored vehicles and infantry on each stand.  These will be used to represent Airborne and Naval Infantry units.

Two batteries of self-propelled artillery.

And two companies of BRDMs with AT-5s.

The command stand for the green force.  The vehicle at the bottom of the pic is actually a US Commando armored car, but I think it fits in, and it had a cool cammie paintjob from the previous owner, so I left it like that.

Opposite view of the green command stand.

Some air defense attachments, which are essentially platoons that will be placed in direct support of various line units.  Two ZSU-23/4s and two SA13s.

Three artillery assets (may be using the wrong terminology), used to show fire missions by off-table batteries in support of specific line units.

Four reconnaissance attachments.

Three infantry heavy weapons attachments, clockwise from top left: ATGMs, mortars, and heavy machine guns (in this case, automatic grenade launchers actually).

On to the khaki force: a battalion of T-72s.

Another battalion of T-72s, in camo painted by the previous owner.  I didn't take a picture of them all, but the khaki force has three battalions of T-72s to match up against the green force's three battalions of T-80s, which I will most often/likely use as "equal technology" in the games I play.

 A battalion of khaki force mechanized infantry in BMP-1s.

All three khaki mechanized battalions, all in BMP-1s.
As time goes by I'll get to all my wheeled mech battalions.  Someday...

The khaki Engineer Battalion.

The khaki Airborne/Naval Infantry Battalion.

Two batteries of self-propelled artillery.

Two companies of BRDMs with AT-5s (I didn't have enough ATGM vehicles, so the right-hand stand got a BRDM command car).

The khaki command stand.

 Reverse of the command stand.

Khaki air defense attachments.

Arty assets.

Recon attachments, one with a 'normal' BRDM, the other three I'm ashamed to say I'm not familiar with, though they definitely have the BRDM look, just without a turret.

Khaki infantry assets.  If you haven't noticed, I painted the khaki and green infantry the same colors, to it will be easy for me to swap out infantry assets between the two sides.

The whole shebang, standing by for action, and hopefully getting it this coming weekend.

Lots more stuff I'm working on, I'll get pics up when I can.

Also, this post is trying out the "Large" pictures, at the request of Panda John.

V/R,
