Last time out with Chain of Command we used Greg's awesome Germans, but I felt I needed to get in gear and paint some of my own up.
A German Rifle platoon, made up of a commander, 3 sections and a separate machine gun. |
Each section has a rifle team made up of 6 men, a machine gun team of 3 men, and a junior leader. This section also shows the platoon commander with them. |
The Russian platoon only has LMG's in each section, and therefore less firepower than the German section. Even worse they do not come with a support squad for the section. |
Each section consists of a junior leader, 7 riflemen, and the LMG with 2 crew. Unlike many other nations though, the Russian sections are not made up of teams and must stick together. |
Also completed in the last few weeks are some 28mm ruined buildings for use with my WW1 forces for Through the Mud and the Blood. While I picked them up long ago, I never got around to painting them until now. I cut some bases for these our of MDF added some sand and rubble and got to work. These buildings are a plastic set made for Bolt Action, and while meant for WW1 or WW2 games, they really can be used for just about anything.
The set can make between 3 and 6 buildings. I chose to make 1 larger and 4 smaller ruins. |

Those are excellent looking ruins. The command platoons look great!
Great work Byron. Looking forward to getting those figures blooded in a Chain of Command game!
Well done on the ruins, visually dense yet not overwhelming.
Great figures and ruins... do the bases lock together jigsaw-style?
No they don't Dallas, I just made patterns that would fit the basic shape and added 10mm all around and then laser cut them. I have a spare set of bases if any of our crew needs (meaning anyone that hasn't based theirs yet, if they are like me and have had them sit in a box for years).
Very nice, Byron! Any plans to cut some MDF ruins/buildings for 15mm now? I should probably get some of those specially shaped bases from you for mounting my 15mm figures also.
They looks great! You need more heavy weapons now!
Fabulous work Byron!
