Stargrunt Finns

Funny how a collection starts! I bought 6 of these Matchbox MBX Explorers Blizzard Buster on a lark: Then I thought who rides in them? Why GZG Scan Fed infantry...who else? Then I went HMMM will need some support, Well Brigade makes these nice Neo Soviet tanks , so three each of the medium, light, and very light, were obtained. Ok now other support vehicles and artillery, Guns I kit bashed one, and one from GZG, with GZG crew. Then an order to TSS for some anti-tank missile tracks and mortar tracks. Other vehicles and troops (GZG old style NSL Jagers as elites) from Battlefront some big old towed Russian mortars to round things out. So...what stared out as a very cheap "innocent" buy has turned into a monster unit of over 20 vehicles and 80 infantry.
Oh well

bit of a back story:

Uusi Kalevala or New Kalevala is a small colony made up of people of primarily Finnish heritage. The planet Kepler-186F about 500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. Although one of the first near Earth sized planets discovered it was considered too cold and gloomy by most to be bothered with. Then came the Finnish mass migration from the ESU.....more to follow

Tanker's Tuesday : Infantry And Tanks

Tanks and Infantry work hand in hand and side by side. One without the other and they rely heavily on one another to support a assault or any kind of battlefield maneuvers. But in todays modern battlefield, who is the first to get into the fight and lead the spearhead of a armored force?

Brigade Neo-Soviet Tanks

History was made today! For the first time ever My Brigade order arrived before my GZGs order, even though it was placed a week later! I suspect Jon being at SALUTE may have had something to do with that but, never the less , great job Tony Francis. You now officially have a worm hole! :) I picked up a platoon of Neo-Soviet Rosomakha Light Tanks,
and Bars Tanks along with three Laska Tankettes . These will be used by my Finns (GZG Scan-Fed infantry)
