Osprey/Ambush Alley's Force on Force includes TO&Es for modern Russian forces.

Do you have Russians in your present-day modern forces?

Sparker28 Mar 2012 5:57 p.m. PST

Depends what you mean by modern. Me, nuthin beyond 1985…

klepley28 Mar 2012 6:32 p.m. PST

I have Mongrel figs that are painted to look like modern day Russians, I think Devil Dog Design Russians, and Chechens from Red Star figs…

Present-day

Yessir! Hoping to eventually be doing Chinese/Russian clashes in 3mm – and I even dabble in more modern what-ifs with cold war flare.

Nope. Waiting on them to come out in 15mm.

Splod8928 Mar 2012 9:06 p.m. PST

Kinda… I've got a bunch of the Wartime Miniatures Russians in 20mm painted up as Kamarians but using the modern Russian BTR platoon organisation.

I've got a fair amount of 15mm Russians from Irregular. They're technically from the 80's, but from what I've seen of their more recent wars things haven't changed much.

Generalstoner4928 Mar 2012 10:22 p.m. PST

Our group has a decent amount of ultra modern Russians to play anything from 1985 onward. I am slowly painting up Chechens in order to play that area of conflict as well.

14th Brooklyn28 Mar 2012 10:24 p.m. PST

Yes… They are my OpFor since we play a hypothtical WW III.

Gennorm28 Mar 2012 11:42 p.m. PST

In 1/300.

Lobsterback29 Mar 2012 5:45 a.m. PST

Yes, A couple of platoons of DDD and mixed Red Star/TAG/Mongrel along with a fair amount of armor from Imprint, Red Star and Kitech/Diecast.

Gaz004529 Mar 2012 7:04 a.m. PST

Yep- gotta a company of 20mm 'Rooshans' -mostly RH Models but a scattering of Combat Miniatures amongst them, also a platoon of Kelly's Heroes 'Spetznatz' or Airborne troopers…afv's to match,a mix of suppliers with S&S predominant….BMP's,BTR's,T62's,T55's and support units-trucks etc.I have a more modern force with T72's and BMD's too…..plus helo's, Mil 24,Mil 8, and a giant Mil 26….




The dark green/sand camo can be used as opposition for the rest in post-soviet conflicts….a whole pile of 1/300th post war Russian gear too….

Mooseworks829 Mar 2012 8:17 a.m. PST

Yes. A spetznaz squad assigned to the Prussian Defense Force in Karakistan.

Altius29 Mar 2012 8:22 a.m. PST

No, but I have a bunch of 1973 Egyptians which I sometimes pretend are Russians.

Does 1973 still count as 'Modern'?

Lobsterback29 Mar 2012 8:23 a.m. PST

Gaz0045 – Impressive!

Gaz004529 Mar 2012 11:47 a.m. PST

Thanks ol' bean, actually that is an old photo- I've added more trucks and a bunch of PT76 light tanks since then!
