Soviet Tank Camo redux

Apart from the two 1941 armies, I’ve two more planned for the next 18 months. The first will be a 1944 Guards breakthrough unit during Bagration composed almost entirely of T34s and ISUs with the second being a bog standard force from the spring battles of 1942. I was going to make the latter a dedicated Stalingrad fighting unit but the camo scheme depicted below really appeals as it’s so crisp and evocative of the cold wastes.

I can see a lot of potential fun doing these two armies, especially as the late war one will be so focussed on the vehicular aspect and have desantniki as the sole infantry component – a few Shturmoviks may be necessary however. I’m still working on what the exact fit out of the armies will be but there’ll be as much variation in terms of wheels, turrets and factory variatiions as possible.
