All Plastic Soviet Army for FoW

So I thought I would provide some details  on what my all plastic soviet strelkovy battalion for Flames of War looks like and the associated costs.  This army list was made to max out the points and involves the use of a few proxies.  The proxies are: The HQ Pioneers are just regular rifle teams. The horsedrawn supply wagon is a truck. The extra crew for the Katys is actually an ammo supply truck for each.  And the Shturmovik Tips are actually just regular Shturmoviks.  So it's not quite 'cricket' but it's good enough for a rugby player like me.

I live in Canada and ordered the miniatures for my army from one Canadian and one American online store.  I didn't notice much of a difference between costs and fees from either and customer service from both was excellent. 

To make this army I used.
2 boxes PSC Soviet Infantry from Woordrows Warstore at $49.00 total
2 boxes PSC T-24 tanks also from Woordows at $49.00 total
4 Katyushas order from The Warstore at $14.00 total
3 Shtrumoviks from The Warstore at $10.50 total
5 Zis-5 Trucks from The Warstore at $17.50 total
2 Packages of Battlefront Medium bases at $20.00 total
And 10 small bases worth say $2.00

The Grand total being: $162.00

There would also be associated taxes and shipping and I got a discount on my order from the Warstore since I ordered on black Friday.  But I think it is feasible to make a 2000 point Soviet force for under $200.

Going to be my last post for a while I'm off to Belgium and Northern France for 2 weeks and then some time in Turkey.  Hoping to get to Waterloo, Normandy and Gallipoli.

Adios
