Soviet Paratroopers (VDV)

Veterans of The Guild's recent Big Game, Jez on the forum was getting rid of these at a pretty irresistable price. I reckon they'll see good service in our Afghan games - I'll have to pick up a Mi-8/17 to carry them into action


Each of the three squads has seven members - NCO with AK-74 (he's the guy pointing obviously!), 1 Dragunov, 1 RPG, 1 RPK and 3 AK-74s

Platoon HQ consults it maps (I'm not sure what value the guy with the SA-7 is going to give in Afghanistan!)

I'm going to slightly retouch the bases for a more arid look and add some desert silfor tufts...
