IS-2 Stalins answer to the Tiger.

 This tank which the 57th Guards Heavy Tank Regiment field3d was one of the most powerful tanks the Soviets produced during the Great Patriotic War.

Having a 122mm gun, it could push throughout any battle it faced but could still be vulnerable to Panzerfaust or Panzershrecks.

Im currently waiting for the paint to dry on my latest batch.

Im not sure what it is that I like so much about this tank. It could be its armor and gun. The Soviets really went all out on this. The next generation of the tank is IS-3 which went on to serve the Soviets in the Cold War.

I do plan on running these to support other second rate factions in Cold War games. Not sure if the Cuban Army would have used them. North Korea definitely had them in the 60s.

MMG Carriers

My 2 carriers I have built via the Plastic Soldier Company 

For the game, the carriers can act as transport for the gun teams or they can fore from the carrier. Ive seen larger models done up for The New Brunswick Rangers 
 

The 17pdr Anti-tank gun.

 This kit my Dad built this Matchbox kit back in the 1970s. I had to repair it sometime back in the 1990s and is the only one I have as a pure 17pdr. I have 2 others as 17/25pdrs by Plastic Soldier Company. 

I believe I have a stat card for it but once I can get some more from Battlefront Ill make due with the Firefly stats.

The Bofors

 

Dad was able to buy a single Bogors gun.

Initially I really didn't really know what to do woth it. I usually don't have any German planes come in. However its always good to have around.

Also, it could do some damage to infantry or soft skin vehicles. If I ever am able to get a second gun, I'd have a battery.

Humber Armoured Car

Ive been working on this kit for about a year. I've gotten 1 fully built. Work and cadets has kept me from doing up the rest.
 

In FOW, to run a troop, I'd need 3 with the 37mm gun. I belive i have enough to run 2 troops at the moment. 

Needs some extra bits and paint

The Priest: The Royal Artillery

 The Priest is another kit Dad had bought. Over time I was able to get 2 more.

To field a battery for the table I'd need up to 4. I have 2 so a single battery it will be.

So I shall hold this for my 11th Armoured Division actions.

Comet, 11th Armoured Divisions answer to the Panther

 Years ago, when my Dad started our 1/76 collection, he bought either Airfix or Matchbox kits. One of the kits he got was the Comet. 

The Comet was a late war British tank design which eventually was given to the 11th Armoured Division. It had a 77mm gun which at that stage could take on most of what the Germans could through at them.

My Flames of War (Battlefront Minatures) card shoes that a troop can either be 3 or 4 tanks.

I believe that I now have 3 with another as the troop HQ. 

Once the weather warms up, I plan to get some games going again
