Soviet Artillery: Carnation battery

I had limited artillery support for my Soviet force. The WW2 era guns will be passed on to the Hungarian force. The Polish and Czech forces will be using SU-100


first bit of paint, and they need some decals
the new Artillery/SLAVO template I picked up last weekend. 

12/20/2018
I was able to get an artillery and slave template yesterday on discount as no one was buying them. I had fun at the only store in Nova Scotia that sells Team Yankee kits.
As of June 2020, I have repainted the battery to better match the colour of the rest of my Soviet force.


Royal Artillery in Team Yankee, Abbots, M109s, L118 towed guns

I ordered a set of Abbots from Battlefront Miniatures, the makers of the Team Yankee system. I also bought the British supplement Iron Maiden.
This is a vehicle which I wanted to have for quite some time. The artillery support for my British force now consists of two batteries of Abbots, a battery of  M109 which can also be fielded.
And I also have an MLRS launcher.
For team Yankee, the Iron Division consists of two units
Gibraltar Battery, Royal Artillery: 4 Abbots
2 Field Regiment Royal Artillery: 2 M109
with a Forward Observation Officer mounted in an FV 432. 
46th Air Defense Battery, Royal Artillery: 4 Blowpipe SAM launchers. 
Soon to be Rapier battery
In 1/72 I have a 4 105mm gun battery with trucks and crew.
