Soviet Greatcoat Rifle Platoon

Soviet 15mm infantry in greatcoats, figures by Battlefront. OOP now, of course...

This platoon was done with four squads, each of 10 men and a Junior Leader: enough for the Chain of Command Winter Storm Campaign (6th Panzer and the drive on Stalingrad). Of course, they'll work for IABSM too when required.

Leaders were done for Chain of Command, and additional ones added for IABSM purposes. The numbers are spare decals placed on a small squares of painted green stuff: I like clarity in 15mm scale, and this instantly shows the relevant Command Initiatives available. I still have a couple more leaders to add for completion.

Soviet Snowsuit SMG Platoon

One platoon of them, though I've painted two platoons, each with 3x 8-man Squads. Sufficient for two platoons in IABSM, and having enough figures for a full SMG platoon for CoC. Figures by Battlefront, the old Scouts/Spetsnaz blister.

I need to find my black paper background for photography...white-wearing figures with white basing on a white background: genius.

Some dedicated leaders were also done so I don't have to use greatcoat wearing figures.

Soviet Infantry Guns & Support Weapons

Winter infantry guns, here the M43 version of the Soviet 76mm regimental gun. Figures by Forged in Battle. While I would have liked the older, obr 1927 version BF can no longer be bothered to make it.

These figures are obviously in summer uniforms, but by painting balaclavas and gloves they have been "winterised" to some degree. Junior Leader included for Chain of Command, or a Level II Big Man for I Ain't Been Shot, Mum!.

Similarly, some support weapons were given the same treatment: a couple of Maxim MMGs and Anti-tank rifles (cheers Mike), an observer team and a (dubious) 50mm light mortar team modified from a US 60mm mortar and a few spare plastic Soviet gun crews...which will have to suffice until I get a proper one. All Battlefront figures here.

Romanians

Some older figures: Battlefront 15mm Romanians re-purposed for Chain of Command and IABSM, with additional leaders.

T-70 Light Tanks

15mm T-70s by PSC.

British in the Med (15mm)

A British force painted largely for Chain of Command and I Ain't Been Shot Mum! rules. Figures are Forged in Battle, actually their Late War British but here used for the Mediterranean theatre.

Leaders...there are extras for the "Big Men" required for IABSM. A Mix of FiB and BF.

I added a couple of Vickers MMGs, also Forged in Battle, and an Observer team (BF).

I've also painted a similar platoon, largely identical, and have to add a couple of 2-pounders, 6-pounders, and another entire platoon (the third) for IABSM.

Japanese support weapons

Some Japanese support weapons for Chain of Command: figures by Skytrex, tank by Battlefront. Initially for the Malaya 1942 pint-sized campaign, then Burma and waiting eagerly for the CoC Far East supplement.

While I'm unlikely to use both 70mm infantry guns I painted both anyway: maybe useful in IABSM later, as I have a lot more figures to add for the "Fall of the Lion Gate" campaign.

Sniper, Observer team behind him, Type 92 HMG with five crew and Junior Leader.
