Another look at The First Chechnya War 1994-96

 The nice thing about looking back at Wargames Illustrated March 2019 issues is to redo or reimagine what happened. 

I have lots of 15mm kits now and several different figure types, so I can do the battles of this period. 

With my new VDV weapons platoon can help,

My Iranian Basiji can be part of the Chenchens along with my American militia who have the right weapons

And with all the Soviet armour, 

Ah the possibilities 



INDO-PAK WAR 1971

 Ok, so I previously did a post on this from Wargames Illustrated issue 377 but I did it as a Bolt Action game.

This time  going to do a Team Yankee themed one in the scale they do.

This will coinside with my build up of say non European gear, more into expanding my 15mm collection to what they had then.

I also believe that I have one of the Wargames Illustrated issues with a previously fought war between these two whereby Pakistan Pattons get thrashed.

As well, Battlefront Minatures has also come out woth a new Plastic Centurion tank, and an M48 Patton kit which will make building the armies easier.

Pakistan 

26th Frontier Force

Capt. Arif HQ: 4LMG teams

29th Cavalry

M48 Pattons x8

Jeep mounted infantry: 12 jeeps, 24 LMG teams

26th FF with Razakar Militia: 8 Rifle bases



INDIA

Maj Singh HQ; 4 Rifle and LMG teams

Indian Artillery: 4x 25pdr

69th Armoured Regiment: 8x T-55

12th Rajputana Rifles: 4 trucks with 10 rifle bases, 4 LMG teams

So something i can build up over the winter.
