With under a year to go until the centenary I have started rationalising my thoughts on my figure collection.
Eastern Front
I had originally thought of using 10mm figures for the Eastern Front and indeed had painted up a fair number of figures in this scale - particularly Austrians. I however decided to get out some old Britannia German and mix of IT/Irregular 20mm Austrians and to use these instead. I have started re basing these on 2 figure per on 30mm bases.
I am going to use Russian plastic 1/72 figures from HAT and Zvezda for the Russians. These provide a cheap way of getting a Russian army up and running.
Here are a couple of photos of some my first Russians based on 30mm bases
and some of old metal Austrian and German figures on new bases.
