Tartarian Motor Rifles and Armour

ISABELSTADT (Reuters)- Mantovian Defense Ministry officials have released photographs of new Tartarian units on exercise. It appears that the Soviet backed dictatorship is being supplied with AK47 assault rifles and new RPG shoulder fired antitank weapons.

A company in O Group. A platoon for IABSM. 

Went with East German troops because they look especially totalitarian 

Each unit has a stand with a PKM LMG and an RPG. Next company I'll mix those figures in with the rifemen.

Motor Rifle Regiments are getting equipped with the new BTR40 and BTR152 APCs. 



This BTR had a broken side, but fortunately I had a camo net big enough to cover the gap

They are also training jointly with the new T54 tank battalions. 




Slightly anachronistic ZSU-57-2 SPAA. But development started in the late 40s, so maybe Tartaria is getting some prototypes for combat trials. 

I didn't ask for them,  but Don decided that the PDRT Defense Forces needed them. 


Lots of tanks!

12x APCs of various types 


Mantovian Reservists are still being mobilized.

      The T54 is iconic Soviet block to me
