Having moved into 15mm one of things I
started playing was Force on Force. There is no shortage of American,
Arabs and Africans, but people seem to have forgotten to cold war and
even the CIS' current forces. Spetznaz are done by Rebel and QRF who
also do a small range of Russians in highly specialised units with
only a few variants. The figures are okay but I have always found QRF
to be closer to 18mm than 15 and tend to dwarf most 15mm products.
Eureka have produced a range of 15mm
Russian through their 300 club arrangements. I've not physically seen
any of the 15mm stuff but their 25/28mm modern stuff and their
zombies are very nice.
The range is quite broad, about thirty
minis with a variety of headgear. I know they have been on the go for
a while and they are not on the website yet.
Have a look at Wargaming with Barks
for a review. I don't see the point in rehashing something someone
has already done :-)
In general, choices in 15mm are a bit
limited. Peter Pig do some nice minis for their AK47 game. There is a
huge range of generic minis but only a few would really look like
Russians. Their modern range of nationalities is limited to
Americans, Israeli and French Foreign Legion (have they seen any
action since Vietnam?). Rebel do nice ranges of Americans and Chinese
with British and German special forces. These figures are very
playable. QRF do several ranges but they can't hold a candle to the
stuff from Rebel. One thing I will say about QRF, their vehicles are
pretty much perfect. I had
a look around and can't
Put it another way. We need more modern
15mm modern figures and some Brits would be nice.
