I received the Khalkhin-Gol battle maps recently and immediately painted the Soviet BA-10 armored cars in Soviet colors and the Type 97 Tankettes in Japanese colors.
Now as I’m playing the campaign I realize the BA-10s are used for both nations.
Having just received the Equipment Pack, does anyone know any other miniatures that will be shared by other nations?
I like that I have the option, and may end up doing it if it makes things easier, but hopefully I will be able to come up with a solution as I play more scenarios and get a feel for how many of each special unit miniature should be allocated to each nation.
For now I plan to repaint some “Soviet BA-10s” to work for the Japanese at Khalkhin-Gol and keep the Equipment Pack that lovely grey tone.
I’ll update if I can come up with something helpful for players/painters!
As I am in the process of painting my collection, I thought about painting each nation a solid primary colour and doing the ones used by multiple nations in black (for the SWA‘s) and camouflage (for the vehicles).
Kids are great, enjoy that! There’s no due date for the painting. I ended up doing the other 12 SWAs that came in the equipment pack last night using a similar scheme.
Those really look amazing. For an expert such as yourself how long does it take to paint the 12 figures above once you have a functioning plan in place?
Thank you! I’m new to painting, this is my first large project, but it probably took 2 hours to finish those 12. I spent longer than that trying to find the right paints for the job. Ended up going with:
I hate to think what it would take to paint all of the Memoir 44 in my collection.
You’ve made it very tempting especially by posting all the colors used. Magnificent results. I’ll have to start elsewhere. Memoir 44 just has so many miniatures!
