Interesting.

Gents, Thanks, I had seen some of this. I am looking for the organization around 1985 of the individual BMP's. There is this:- https://www.armyupress.army.mil/Portals/7/Hot%20Spots/Documents/Russia/2017-07-The-Russian-Way-of-War-Grau-Bartles.pdf However its a bit late for me and BMP's are now 7 man ...

So how do you organize your BMP-1 Troops. My co-author tends to have 2 sections one with the RPG Grenadier and Assistant Grenadier and 2 rifle. The other is the Squad leader 2 rifles and the SAW gunner (RPK 74). More typical historicaly seems to be Fire support team (RPG and SAW) with the Squads lea...

Grest to see a built up area that looks like one with very restricted views and ranges. All too often they are just 3 or 4 houses apaced too far apart, it will give the game a real tactical edge not just a die rolling exercise. Well done!

OOP;s type 24, the picture was correct! I also found out later just how huge the anti tank obsticle is if done correctly some articale nored thet were part of a 1 to 2m deep concrete bed. It does look like some of the UK defences were more artistic than practical as they are often seen to be placed ...

If somebody puts up the diminutions of real anti tank obstacles I can draw up a 3D print of them and put it on Thingverse for everybody to access. For the printerl ess it may be possible to print a few off at AOTRS shipyards. If it happens what scale(s) would be wanted? PS I already have a UK Type 4...
