Bringing on the Soviet Heavy Hitters

Had a game earlier this month which called for some heavy hitting power, so I have been doing up a bunch of Soviet heavy tanks and SPGs. All models are 3D prints, mostly resin prints with files from Wargame3D, except the IS-3 which is an FDM print using m_bergmann files.

KV-85s didn't seem to have many interesting schemes, so this winter camo pattern is actually taken from an IS tank of the 29th Guards Heavy Tank Battalion. I am super happy with how it turned out, but dear god was it a lot of work. Took several hours to do all the little white pill patterns.

ISU-122 and ISU-122S are both done in schemes I found from the summer of 1944. The original unit was unknown. Gave them markings from the 338th Guards Heavy Artillery, which I think that mostly used ISU-152s, not ISU-122s, but close enough.

IS-2 I kept with a fairly basic scheme in Soviet green, with markings of the 7th Separate Guards Heavy Tank, and anti-aircraft identification markings on the top of the turret.

IS-3 is in a basic green scheme as well, with simply Guards markings to show they are badass, but nothing much else.

And then finally the odd-man out is the little SU-76 which is also just done in a basic green scheme as well.

"Geronimo!" Dropping some more US Airborne into my force

I needed to get some more paratroopers for my Americans, so picked up some of the excellent files from Colonel Muller to print out a slightly over-strength squad. Did them up with 82nd Airborne markings, as that was what I had the decals for. Very happy with how they turned out.

After Action Report: An improbable desert match-up as the Finns try to take on an IS-3 and IS-2

Mission Parameters: 10 OD Maximum, 50%+ of force must be Veteran. Victory by Kill Points, with Bonus for killing officers in CC. Soviets (GK) vs Finns (Xnox), in Meeting Engagement.

-----------

Dawn broke over the desert, the long shadows of the palms shading the small Finnish observer team hidden at the edge of the oasis. Their bulky winter gear had been not unsuitable for the coldness of the desert night, but they cursed what cruel fates had brought them here as they prepared to once again face the burning hot of the sun they were so ill-prepared for. But reports were that the Soviets were out there, somewhere, and so must they be here as well.

From somewhere to the east, the whine of tank engines began to reach them, but they could do nothing other than shield their eyes from the harsh sun just breaking the horizon. The radioman keyed his mic, reaching out to the sniper team quietly waiting in ambush on the roof of building in the small village to their south to ask if they had a visual. He waited a moment, and then the static broke.

“Two ta-“ 

The message wasn’t even complete though when it was drowned out by the explosive sound of the 122mm gun. The observation team barely even registered the barrel flash, blended in with the low-lying sun, as they were vaporized an instant later. An instant later, another explosive percussion split the air as a portion of the building collapsed under the sniper team. Pekka pushed himself up in the rubble, barely cognizant of Ville’s mangled body caught in the rubble, but through the haze able to see a small squad of Soviet Guards rushing up in support of the IS-2 and IS-3. He was able to get off one quick, half-aimed shot, only to see it nip harmlessly at their feet before he too was cut down in the hail of fire from their DP-27s. 

Over the next dune, the Luutnantti Vuotunki barked at the radio for a report on what the distant noises were, but without answer. While he knew his small force was ill-equipped for what sounded like a small armored force, he couldn’t let the critical desert crossroads fall into their hands, so quickly sent in what forces he could muster and sent out a desperate plea for more reinforcements as he rushed forward to the village directing his heavy-weapons platoon to the flanks, and while Luutnantti Hämäläinen and the Sissis – with their precious panzerfausts – to use the buildings and palms as cover as they maneuvered close enough for their one chance at the Soviet armor.

As he neared the first oasis though, two more percussions reached Vuotunki, even at this distance enough to leave his ears ringing. To his left, he could see the smoking crater that had moments before been the mortar squad, while to his right, he could see the MMG team in tatters, two crewmen lying dead, but the final at least able to return some ineffective fire at the Guards before they finished off what the IS-3 had been unable to, although the Sissis quickly returned the favor, cutting down one of the Guards, peeking out from the corner of the building they had taken cover behind to take an ill-advised look at their handywork moments prior. Looking back, Vuotunki could see the truck, with its cadre of well-armed veterans, stuck in some loose sand. It would be several more minutes before they arrived, but he was buoyed as the radio crackled to life, Hämäläinen’s radioman reporting that despite their skis, the Kaukopartio had made good time in their flanking maneuver, arriving to the southern flank of the Soviet force with good cover for their approach.

--------------------------- 

“You are free to advance and fire at targets of opportunity” Hovhannisyan heard over his headset, eager to take advantage of the free reign granted by Commander Shevchenko

“Loader, another HE!” yelled out Hovhannisyan as he kicked at the drivers head again to push the IS-2 forward. The sweltering interior of a tank was uncomfortable even on the bitter Finnish frontier, but it had been only a few minutes of combat, and the desert sun had the entire crew cooking like a tin of tushonka. As the tank rolled forward, he could see a small clump of Finns rushing across to his right, possibly an officer team, and quickly fired only to miss wildly. Reloading, and continuing to maneuver forward, the officer and his aids franticly evaded while the larger squad of Sissis darted across the front of the tank, but a good distance off. He knew that Shevchenko in the IS-3 would have a clear shot at them as well, while the bow gun opened fire ineffectively, he wheeled the main gun onto the officers. A chance to decapitate the Finnish platoon was too good to pass up, but he was soon disappointed to see that in their haste to fire on the move, the round went sailing over, harmlessly exploding against the dune behind the target.

Hovhannisyan’s disappointment was only compounded moments later when he saw Shevchenko’s tank had missed its target as well, although it had at least been enough to force the Sissis to hit the dirt, at least briefly. The disappointment soon grew to concern as he looked through the cupola to see a truck rushing up, and disgorging a large squad of fierce looking men, clearly hell-bent on taking his tank, even if it meant with their bare hands. He would need assistance, and quickly, to keep them from swarming around him.

“Ivanov, where the fuck are you!? You are supposed to be on the right!” He bellowed into the radio, only to be met with silence. Once on the battlefield, he knew Ivanov’s small scout squad was unmatched, man-for-man, but that Russian bastard had of course been up drinking all night, and his skill was only equaled by his complete unreliability when drunk – which was far too often.

KABOOM. His thoughts were broken by an explosion just to his rear, enough to shake the tank. He looked around wildly, seeking out the Finnish tank that had barely missed him only for Shevchenko to burst onto the radio.

“Sarkis, it look like you needed hand! I have your back, bratik.”

Looking to the rear, he could see remnants of the Finnish squad, now halved and dazed.

“Bozi tġa!” he thought silently.

Thankful as he might be, he knew he wouldn’t hear the end of this for weeks, getting his ass saved by the cocky Ukrainian. His own gun finally re-loaded, he rotated the turret and fired, only for the 122mm to… do nothing. A misfire… Now he really wouldn’t be hearing the end of this. The bow and rear machine guns chattered, finally scoring hits on the Sissis and dropping one of the officer's aides, but it was small consolation to such a poor showing. As the remnants of Finnish squad made their feeble attempts to force a hatch, Hovhannisyan brooded over the bottle of vodka he would need to somehow acquire to give Shevchenko, nearly oblivious to the Finnish truck zipping behind his tank and firing over it at the Guards squad bracing behind the building to his left.

--------------

Vuotunki knew things were getting desperate. He had managed to get to the shelter of the next building but was still shaken by the near miss by the IS-2, sure he could have reached out and touched the shell as it flew by. He was quite glad to be out of its sights now. Last he had seen there, the assault squad had held steady despite their grim losses, but done little to hamper its operation, and now they were taking fire from a small squad of Soviet Scouts just come into range, although they were surely drunk given how poorly they were shooting. He watched the Sissis continue to move forward and poor fire into the Guards squad sheltered behind a building. Incongruously skiing over the desert sands, the SMGs of the Kaukopartio joined in the hail of bullets, although it was hampered by the undergrowth of the small cluster of palms they were now crossing. Vuotunki was frustrated to see the Guards continue to survive the sheer avalanche of fire, only one of their number falling, although he was pleased to see they at least were now pinned down in their position, too fearful to even snap off a single return shot.

Time was ticking away though, and it was the final decision point. Now in visual range, Vuotunki and Hämäläinen hastily gestured at each other, but it as clear that only one chance existed, as Hämäläinen ordered the Sissis forward in the vain hope that perhaps their panzerfausts could blunt the Soviet spearhead, but both flew off harmlessly, clearly out of range. Two more massive explosions again ripped across the battlefield, deafening everyone. As the Kaukopartio rushed forward, hoping to finish off the Guards, half their number simply disappeared as the IS-3s massive HE shell burst in their midst, but they would not be dissuaded from their course of action, although even at point blank range the Guards remained as stubborn as eve, four of their number managing to remain and return rather ineffective fire. Vuotunki himself finally joined in the shooting gallery, cutting down one more Guard, but knowing it would do little to turn the tide as he saw the SMG squad in the distance again take critical damage from the IS-2, but he could be nothing less than impressed by the courage – something he knew only Finns possessed - of the remaining two as they valiantly kept fighting, exchanging fire with the drunken Russian scouts, who continued to miss everything, and now apparently the lone Russian officer, cowardly waiting until the last minutes of the battle to show up and claim a victory to which he had contributed nothing but one potshot that caromed off a nearby palm tree.

The radio crackled to life again, and although half-garbled by static, Lt. Vuotunki could make out enough of the message from HQ to know that no more reinforcements were coming, and any further losses here today would gain nothing. It was time to fall back and cede the village. The day was lost.

----------------

“Shevchenko! They are falling back! Should we pursue?” Hovhannisyan unkeyed his mic, and waited for a reply, coming that his commander would unleash him for the pursuit. It had been a good morning, and after watching the panzerfausts fizzle out well in the distance, he felt confident they could finish off this small force with ease.

“Nyet, Nyet. This was surely advance force, we not know what over that dune, Sarkis. We might be lucky now, Alikhan’s squad is chewed up, and you know Ivanov not be sober for hours still! Their AT might even slow me up briefly without infantry support. Patience, bratik. You can die for motherland tomorrow."

April is wrapped up, and another vote has now closed with some winners to cry out!

For the Users' Choice Award this month, going to the top-voted answer from the sub as a whole, /u/EverythingIsOverrate did not live up to their name, with a well rated answer to "How was France and England financially able to fight the napoleonic wars?".

Meanwhile from the Flairs' Choice Awards, /u/bug-hunter definitely didn't run any sort of racket on his peers who voted for “During the twentieth century, vending machines were a major part of organised crime. What did this entail exactly? Why would the Mafia or any other organised crime group have an interest in vending machines?”.

And for the Dark Horse Award, which recognizes the top-voted non-flair, from /u/FriedaKilligan head-banged in with "Why was the lyrical presentation of hair metal bands so aggressively macho while their visual presentation was so very...not?”

Finally for the Greatest Question Award, chosen by the mod team, there were quite a few good ones but /u/LineOfInquiry caught some eyes with "Has our feeling of disgust been changed by our discovery of germ theory?", and it garnered a whole plethora of responses worth checking out!

As always, congrats to our very worthy winners, and thank you to everyone else who has contributed here, whether with thought-provoking questions or fascinating answers. And if this month you want to flag some stand-out posts that you read here for potential nomination, don't forget to post them in our Sunday Digest! For a list of past winners, check them out here!

Have been doing a little work on additional Soviet options, with a mix of printed figures and plastics.

HQ and Flamethrower are both from RKX. Dog Teams are WLG plastic with the dogs by the indomitable Deweycat. Artillery pieces are FDM prints with Wargame3D files and WLG plastic figures done up for the crew.

The HQ figure set from the Folgore! Kickstarter Campaign by Uppsala Miniatures

Hello everyone and welcome to another review, part of my long-running campaign to provide documentation and guidance for the best (and worst) out there for the WWII wargamer and printer.

Today's review is focused on the Kickstarter campaign "Heroes of El Alamein Chapter 1 : FOLGORE!" from Uppsala Miniatures (Marco Moise). While they have several past campaigns, this is their first Kickstarter with a WWII focus. In addition to the Kickstarter profile, they maintain a storefront on Wargaming3D, which includes various aspects of the Folgore! campaign for a la carte purchase, as well as some additional models for Savoia cavalry not part of the campaign.

No models were provided by Uppsala Miniatures for this review.

PRINTING

A pair of charging figures with rifle and SMG

Test prints were done for resin prints on an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra, sliced in Chitubox and printed with Conjure Sculpt resin, using 2.7s exposure for .05mm layers. Models were provided both supported and unsupported and I printed a mixture of them. There were no issues that I ran into with either, either attributable the sculpting or otherwise. The protruding parts are generally done with enough thickness to ensure a good file that survives any rigors of the printer or post-processing.

The pre-supports include Chitubox files, which is always nice since it does mean you can inspect and modify if you want to, although I didn't find it particularly necessary. Support work is competently done and found no issues with placement or removal. Do note that this only applies to the 28mm campaign. An additional set of 1/72 files were available separately which I did not acquire. I also did not do any scaled down tests as it felt unfair judging the scaling of the 28mm when a smaller scale was sculpted natively.

In addition, terrain models were printed in PLA on a Prusa MK4S, with a .6mm HF nozzles Printing was done with Overture Easy PLA, and sliced in Prusa Slicer. The models are quite simple and straight forward and required no supports to print, nor did I encounter any printing errors.

MODELS

Close-up view of a Folgore! figure

The models in the Folgore! campaign are well sculpted figures, with a good level of detail. The figures are nicely posed and rarely have the stiffness that some sculpts will get. The moving models feel like they have some fluidity to them, and the models which are more static come off as fairly natural in their stances. While they do have some of the exaggerations of heroic style, which is definitely appreciated in ensuring that the weapons and other protrusions don't feel too flimsy, on the whole I wouldn't call them strongly heroic in style, and instead a bit more balanced overall. In comparisons to other stuff out there, I found them to be perhaps a midpoint between WLG plastic and WLG metal sculpting styles, but easy enough to fit in alongside either or both.

Comparison to Gorgon Studios metal; WLG plastic; WLG plastic; WLG metal

One visual thing which is a bit noticeable, but not actually an error is that some figures do feel a bit weirdly proportions, but for the most part this is the shirtless figures - if you are a fan of bare-chested Italian men, this set is definitely for you by the way - and it is just that they are kind of skinny, and also wear their pants high at the natural waist like everyone did back then, which just kinda of makes the torso look small, but it isn't actually.

Wearing his pants grandpa style

I would however flag one actual thing I don't like, which is the choice of doing pegs on the bottom of the feet for some figures. I have noted many times that I really like puddle-bases on figures, especially running ones, to make them more stable when basing, but instead of puddle-bases, the figures with one point of contact mostly have little pegs on the bottom of the foot. While an interesting concept, honestly I would have preferred nothing there, and any figure prints I do I'll likely cut those off. It just doesn't work well. If you use WLG bases, they are way too thin to drill a hole for the peg; if you magnetize your bases, you can't put it to centered because the magnet needs to go there. I do the latter, which means they all feel weirdly off-center and I don't like that at all. Basic puddle-bases are much better as an option here.

An example of the foot peg. It is just not a very good system.

As for the terrain pieces, they are fairly basic, but quite serviceable. There isn't all that much one can say about a wall of sandbags, to be honest, but they look decent, and while I would hardly call them a draw, they are an appreciated addition, even if a minor one.

SELECTION

Light mortar team, which is one of the few options beyond the main infantry squads

The selection for the campaign unfortunately isn't huge, but does offer at least a decent starting point for building up an Italian airborne force, even if it doesn't include all of the support units one might want to see. The core campaign amounts to a few NCO figures with SMGs, several LMG figures, and (by my count) 25 riflemen figures. This means there is enough for 2 to three squads without repeating figures, depending on how big you build them, but ultimately it is only a base count of 31 figures and some sandbags, which feels somewhat underwhelming for ~$60 (€50) - or maybe I'm just pining for the kind of prices we were seeing a few years ago?

It is hardly the only campaign which is around that price-point, to be sure, but it is definitely a cost where it feels like you need some good stretch goals to be hit in order to feel like you're getting a good value, and this is where it definitely falls flat. Only three goals were hit in the campaign, one for a trio of HQ figures, one for a pair of two-man light mortar teams, and then one for some additional defenses. The small number in total means it is a rather small margin of added value. Either goals with a larger number of figures, or else a few more goals that were less ambitious, might have helped there.

Ultimately it just means that what you get feels kind of bland. Not bad but nevertheless a bit underwhelming in terms of the options that you end up with and it really would have been nice to see a focus beyond just the basic rifles quad, and more support options both in the core campaign as well as in the stretch goals.

CONCLUSION

Various angles of view for the Folgore figures

The Folgore! campaign includes a nice set of files. The figures are well modeled, and I find them to be quite nice. Especially with the recent release of the Italian Army Book for Bolt Action, having options like this out there is great! But approached as a campaign offering, it nevertheless does have some downsides, particularly as noted being what seems like a small total number of files, and few stretch goals, which doesn't feel like it quite matches the price-point. The lack of much in the way of support models in particular I think is what stands out the most here, as more models outside of the basic infantry squads would have been really nice. To be sure, this campaign was billed as a 'Chapter 1' so I am hopeful that those gaps will be filled in the future, and while fingers crossed it is a bit more aggressively priced (or else just includes some more stretch goals), I'm certainly looking forward to it!

It looks like this won't be a standalone tier, unfortunately, but only is included as part of the 'All-In' Subscription currently, but that might change in the future

>April 1945
Germany is about to fall; the Allies are at the gates of Berlin. But from the rubble of the city, hope arises in the form of metal and diesel. Big machines start to shred the Allied troops, and their tanks blow into pieces as July 4th fireworks.

At the same time, Finland makes a surprise attack against the Soviet Union. Not waiting for another invasion, they developed new technologies to crush their hated enemies. Soldiers clad in metal crush the Red defences with bullets and fists alike.

The War just entered a new, bloodier phase.

Office and Radioman from Iron Chicken's Italian pack

Hello everyone and welcome to another review, part of my long-running campaign to provide documentation and guidance for the best (and worst) out there for the WWII wargamer and printer.

Today's review is focused on Iron Chicken. They have a small storefront via Wargaming3D, but no other presence that I am aware of, such as a Patreon or Kickstarter.

No models were provided by Iron Chicken for this review.

PRINTING

Italian MMG team

Test prints were done for resin prints on an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra, sliced in Chitubox and printed with Conjure Sculpt resin, using 2.7s exposure for .05mm layers. The models are only provided as unsupported files, so all support was done using the slicer, with light support settings.

MMG team with desert helmet and feather added (done by a friend, credit not due to me. But pretty easy in Tinkercad)

During printing, I had no issues, either attributable to the file design or otherwise. The models are all very easy prints, without much in the way of odd protrusions, and the parts that do stick out, such as the rifles, are all decently sturdy. The lack of pre-supports does of course mean the end-user needs to handle that aspect, but even if you aren't comfortable yet, easy, forgiving models like these are a good start to figuring it out yourself!

MODELS

Various angles of several Iron Chicken figures

The Iron Chicken models are nice, serviceable figures. They are well made, but there is nothing fancy to them to particularly stand out. I don't mean that in any sort of backhanded way! Neutral at least, if not complementary. Some people want intricate details on their figures, but there is obvious tradeoff in terms of durability and how easy it is to handle them. Others want something a little simpler, and these definitely fill that niche with just some nice, basic heroic style sculpts.

Close up view of an NCO figure

There are trade-offs of course. I wouldn't call the figures stilted, but there is a stiffness to many of the sculpts, and while the proportions don't seem weird or anything (by heroic standards, to be sure), even the figures in motion don't necessarily have the fluidity that you get with some designers out there. Perhaps the best way to describe it would be that they feel posed, by which I mean some designs really do feel like they are in the middle of doing an action, while these ones feel like when you're told to stop in the middle of doing it and hold that position. It isn't unnatural per se, but not natural either. It also means there there doesn't feel like there is much variety between the figures. Standing them all together, at a glance they often look like the same pose and only looking closer is the difference clear.

Most of these figures are different poses, but it can be hard to notice at a glance.

Stylistically, as is clear enough these figures are very much done in a heroic style, and it would be obvious the intention was to fit in with standard Warlord Plastic figures even if Iron Chicken didn't say as much in the product description! In any case though, they are indeed a pretty close match, and especially at table distance they should fit in just fine if you ware mixing and matching.

Comparison with Warlord Metal, Warlord Plastic; Warlord Plastic

SELECTION

Light mortar team

Unfortunately, Iron Chicken's selection isn't huge, and with nothing new released in over a year, it is unlikely to grow in size either, but the existing catalog covers some decent ground, with reinforced platoons available for the Italians, Japanese, and British (in a desert theme). Each set is only available as the full platoon, but at $20 each, the lack of al la carte isn't too vexing, and the sets live up to their name of "Reinforced Platoon".

AT Rifle Team

They all follow a very similar pattern, with the Italians being fairly representative with a set of riflemen, an LMG, and some SMGs for the core force, and then some officers to command, and support provided by an MMG, AT Rifle, and mortar. The British and Japanese have some slight variation there, but not much different, so each set is roughly around 20 unique figures. The biggest downside is probably the number of riflemen, since with only 5 unique poses of simple rifle soldiers, a full squad will need some repeated figures. But on the flipside, for the Italians at least there are additional helmet options included for desert, Bersaglieri, and Alpini themes, and although they require some slight digital editing (or post print cutting), its an easy fix and adds some additional versatility.

Regular AT rifle figure and modified AT rifle. Heads are easy to swap digitally.

CONCLUSION

Feather in the cap for this AT rifle team!

Iron Chicken is a no-frills kind of deal. Due to how the figures are bundled, it likely isn't a good option if you already have started a force and are looking for ways to fill it out further, but they do make for a pretty decent deal for getting started with a toe in the water. You get a little bit of everything needed for a basic infantry platoon in one go. The figures aren't impressive, but they are eminently serviceable, with solid designs that print easy and can take some abuse from handling on the table. I doubt I would pick up their other packs, as they don't suit my needs, but I would definitely recommend giving them a look if your situation matches that described above.
