More Soviets for Cold War Commander.

Managed to finish some units for my Soviets. I've had these laying around for some time now and with the big CWC game being hosted by the Grimsby Wargames society only 6 months away, I felt it was time to pull my finger out and get them done. The units consist of a regiment of T64BVs  (SMO63) and a battalion of BMP1s  (SMOO9) . The additional vehicles on the command stands are BRDM2Us (SMO78) and a UAZ 469 field car(SMO50). The T64BVs won't be fielded as a single unit but divided amongst my regular T64Bs to give 3 mixed regiments. All the codes are for Heroics and Ros models.

Still lots of Soviets left to do and then on with the Americans and British I have left in the pile.

Soviet APCs and MICVs. Part2 BMPs.

When the first BMP appeared in 1967 it caused a real stir amongst NATO observers. Here was the first Mechanised Infantry Combat Vehicle, one which would influence military design for decades to come. I have three Motor Rifle (BMP) battalions, equivalent to a regiment. One is in BMP1s and Two are in the more capable BMP2s. The first HQ consists of a BMP-1 KSH Command(SM76) and a BMP1(SM09). The second HQ is a BMP2(SM10)  with a few infantry figures, all by H&R.

Scotia also do a nice model of a BMP2(RM0052) shown along side the H&R model.

Finally pictures of a Scotia BMP3(RM0143) with a  H&R BMP3(SM64). The BMP3 is the latest incarnation of the BMP family and appeared in 1990, too late to see service during the Cold War.

The Sotia model is quite a bit larger than the H&R offering so probably wouldn't mix well together. That said both are very good models with plenty of detail.
