'East' from MilesR: Team Yankee Soviets

 My submission for the East theme is a Soviet Armored group from Team Yankee - the newest addition to the Flame of War line from Battlefront.  Originally there was supposed to be some infantry with this group but I just couldn't get them done.  Outside of the SAM tanks, everything is a plastic model and I must say I am impressed with Battlefront's plastic mold making skills - superb models and a lot of junto paint up.

 First up are 14 T-72 MBT's - the heart and soul of any potential Soviet thrust across Central Europe

 5 BMP's and 2 Sa-13 Gophers Sam units.  I've got another 5 BMP's and a bunch of Soviet infantry primed up but just couldn't get them done in time.

1 of the BMP's in modeled as a BMP1 - just for fun.

Lastly a pair of Hinds gunships - these are big aircraft!

I really had a lot of fun with these models, which is saying something because while I like to game in 15mm, I usually prefer painting 28's - not so with the New Battlefront line.

Ah yes, lets us turn to the sordid world of points - 14 T-72's plus 5 BMPs plus 2 SA-13's and finally 2 Hinds is 23 vehicles.  That value times 6 equals 11,431 points.  Thats a tidy little haul.

Oops, I forgot to carry the 3 - lets see its, oh my, just a paltry 138 points for the minis.

Three guesses on what I might be doing for my "West" Challenge...
