GHQ
Infantry from the
Soviet Infantry and Soveit Heavy Weapons packs. These are a real
bargain, and give you a large number of interesting figures for
relatively little money. While not as scale-accurate as CinCs,
they are far sturdier and more detailed. They are also

Although it doesn't show up well in the photos, they have khaki uniforms with a lighter camo pattern. AT-7 on left, a pair of AGS-17 30mm AGLs on right H&R Soviet Infantry Really not great models. They are the proper scale, that is to say, very small, but also very fragile. At least 20 broke during cleaning and painting. Castings were from Viking Forge, who in the past licensed H&R models Command Group 30mm AGL Teams 120mm Mortar Team Infantry With SAWs and RPGs More Riflemen ATGM and Machinegun Teams Forward Observer Team |

T-64 Tank Regiment Made mainly with GHQ T-64s and BMP-2s, with a scattering of models from other makers. Minus the infantry, of course... |
