Trying to Finish the Soviet Naval Infantry

With some extra time off this weekend, I've decided to try and finish those last 14 stands of Soviet Naval Infantry for Flames of War. I have finished 7; 7 more to go!

Indian Mutiny Preview

I was working on a scenario for the Indian Mutiny and I took a few pictures. Just a quick preview of some of the units.

For gaming the Mutiny, I use a delightful set of rules called Sepoy by Graham Evans. The basic unit is the Company represented by 6 figures or the 3 figures for a squadron of cavalry. The above pictures do not represent how the game is organized as I was just working out the game balance of the scenario. More on Sepoy later.
