Victrix 12mm (1/144) Soviet Infantry Based for Crossfire And now the Germans

 

 

Here are some Victrix Soviet infantry intended for Crossfire, replacing my current 1/72 Crossfire East Front set.

Two companies plus machine guns, mortars and forward observers are painted and based. Yes, I know Soviet platoons had 4 squads each. These lads are experienced, have been in combat. After all,  Audie Murphy was commanding a company of 18 men when he won the Medal of Honor. Often actual units didn’t make the full TO&E. Another company is painted but I didn’t order enough bases from Wargames Accessories. 

When my two companies of Nazi bastids (In the words of a friend’s late father. He was captured in the Bulge, as one of the 106^th Division.) are based I’ll order more bases. The Germans have three companies painted, like the Soviets and have the same logistical issue. The chaps are about half an inch tall. They have some T-34/76s with them. They are in a column of companies. The casualties will go back in column of platoons if things don’t go too badly.

And now, two Companies of Germans with support weapons and some Pz IV tanks.
