A Russian Civil War update and China WW2

 

I noticed that tchanka teams are often shown as a 4 like above, or even a 3. Most of mine are in two 2s. I may be doing it wrong. I'd have thought 2s handier. 

I have four tchanka in all. Also a staff tchanka too. Peter Pig as usual.  Now, to China.

Two Chinese Maxim Heavy Machine Guns and Crews from Minifigs. Uniforms varied  quite a lot.

A couple of Putilov Armoured Cars. Useful for lots of games.

Early in my China Project I found myself using substitutes. Mostly from Peter Pig.

Also I bought some of Eureka's Chinese WW2 15mm. 

 I'm pleased to tell you Irregular Miniatures15mm are back. Sort of, as we will soon see. I have lots of Irregular WW2 Chinese and Chinese War Lord troops on the way. 

All being well they will be in my eager hands at the end of next week. I will review what I get, hopefully for your delectation.

Comparison pic' above Minifig, Eureka, Eureka, Peter Pig. Not to bad at all. Back to Russia again.

 I made some Officer Cards for TMWWBK. 

I scrupled to use actual photos having no wish to malign the dead. Instead I turned to paintings of the period. Here is a selection Traits and all. 

I can add to the cards as I roll them up. Good for period flavour.  This probably the last Time we have a joint RCW/China post. Both projects having achieved a critical mass. As a consequence I can manage a plausible Back of Beyond game too.
