Black Death!
WWII Soviet Naval Infantry Brigade, 3 battalions strong with AT, artillery, SMG, Pioneer, and Mortar battalions attached. 15mm Battle Honors figures based for Command Decision Test of Battle (one stand = one platoon/battery). The Naval Infantryman wore the distinctive black trousers/ dark blue tunic/black peacoat. Their dark attire and zeal (some unit cohesion and often fighting on their 'home turf' naval base) when committed earned them the sobriquet "black death" from the German Army.

They look nice, Kelly! I have some of these chaps to do myself someday (the result of getting a bunch for a friend as a gift, only to see him buy some himself...)
ReplyDeleteHave you ever felt tempted to get some of the bronekator assault boats from Armaments in Miniature to go with them? :-)
Good idea! I'll add that to the list. On another thought, the light naval flotillas deployed in the Black Sea make an excellent setting for small naval battles. There are some useful rules out there, recently on freewargamerules.uk I recall.
