STALINGRAD Bolt Action Mega Battle!
BA-64 Scout
I love this model, definitely the “Cheeky Monkey” of my Soviet forces. I love the way Warlord have captured the less the complete utilitarian look with the un-smoothened weld lines, and I have tried to highlight them with my painting.
It’s cheap and costs only 15 points more than an MMG team at Regular, and it’s fast at 12 inches, and on a road it’s very fast at 23 inches movement. It may be ‘open topped’, but with Recce, it can get out of trouble very quickly.
It may lack and real punch being equipped with a lone LMG, but it has the potential to be a real nuisance, tearing off to target enemy weapons, officer and artillery teams. Many a time have I lost an objective to a few surviving enemy infantry models, this could offer a solution to getting a bit of fire power to where it is needed. In the end stages of the game, a few pins last minute and the odd infantry kill could make all the difference. Just don’t expect it to delete any large enemy Veteran infantry squads.
For a small unit of inexperienced infantry, the BA-64 is a credible threat.
