I have no history for any Russian unit at present so this unit will be a
generic formation present at Stalluponen or Gumbinnen in 1914.
Elements of the Starter Army I bought a long time ago. I have now started
adding units to it. The white undercoated bases have now been painted so I have
just under two full regiments painted up (two of which is about half the
necessary Infantry so the Divisions are massive). My next Pendraken Order has
90 Infantry in it which will begin to fill the Infantry up for this. Need to
look at the Artillery support which is historically weak with only two artillery
battalions per Division with a total of 6 - 8 Batteries, compared to a German
division which has 12 Batteries, in 4 Battalions. Might have to rely on the
Stoicism of the infantry to enemy firepower to hold the line!
So Pendraken Order has arrived only to find that I ran out of bases as I did
a few extra German troops during the week...Doh! More on order but currently
means I only have 10 battalions of Russians done for Monday's game! If my mate
can get a pack in the post to me tomorrow I can be upto 13 Battalions! Only
another 3 left to order then which will be another two packs of RP1 Infantry.
At least I have all the MGs!
As with all gamers, projects come and go. Models you were thinking of moving on get a new lease of life due to a comment in the Hobby or a movie on TV. This will hopefully be my record of my best endeavours not to start anything new until I have at least completed 75% of what I already have....as if that is ever going to happen ;)
