With the release of Vpered Na Berlin, the late war eastern front handbook for IABSM v3, I can now showcase my late war Soviet tank company. The company is a little short of infantry, having only one SMG-armed Vzvod (or platoon) available, but heavy in all other possible support. Obviously I have Soviet riflemen figures to proxy for the other two SMG Vzvods of a full motor rifle company, but as this is a showcase, I haven't included them here!
The T-34s and T-34/85s are a mixture of Battlefront and Plastic Soldier Company: with the PSC tanks appearing as either with a quick turret change. The only annoying thing is that I have five Battlefront and five PSC tanks, so one Vzvod will be two of one and one of the other. The rest of the figures are all from Battlefront, except for the aircraft (Armaments in Miniature) and the armoured train (Peter Pig).
