Eureka also slightly, and I do not mean by much, exaggerate the size of weapons, just enough so that I find them much more durable then say Spectre Miniatures. Modern models have a problem with bent and broken barrels, and Eureka’s models are made of a metal that is both reasonably strong and pliant enough to bend back into place. I also find the metal particularly good to work with. They are well cast(barring one absolute pig of a model) and have loads of detail. With that in mind, I decided to go with Eureka Miniature’s Afghan-era Soviets. But surprisingly little has changed from Afghan era Soviet models and most Post-Soviet republic’s uniforms. They aren’t 1/1 recreations of the Arma 2 originals they lack the kevlar, NATO styled, K-pot helmets. So besides my lovely Arma screenshots(I work way, way too hard on them!) I also got some models to use as Chernarussians on the tabletop.
Now that is all well and good, but this is a wargaming blog. Chernarussians enter Takistan at the same place their fathers and grandfathers left. Both sides try to keep such engagements from being leaked to the news, for fear of further escalation. The ‘Russian’ forces, there themselves ‘off the books’ cannot formally complain, but firefights between Russian forces and NATO forces have occurred. Unofficially, NATO forces have worked to destabilize the Chedaki forces, and such efforts are showing results as formerly Chedaki areas fall into local revolt between Chernarussian nationals and Chedaki supporters. NATO cannot officially intervene, and so far the annexation has stopped in South Zagoria itself, where an uneasy and constant low-intensity conflict smolders. Therefore, my backstory involves a Russian annexation of South Zagoria in 2017, with the CDF having to contend with well armed ‘Polite People’ as well as a seriously beefed up Chedaki force. Being a tabletop gamer, I’m using the beginning situation but altering it to suit my tabletop. Now in Arma 2, the campaign resolves such events.
A CDF patrol comes under attack by a Chedaki ambush.
