Comrades,
What is the general interest in doing Red Army from post WWII phase? Any?
I got to thinking about it again after the Charles City event and seeing Bob Hill who attends as cold war british with his ferret armoured car.
It's been 16 years since the fall of the USSR. Seems like just yesterday. With books coming out all the time about the cold war, I see potential for continuing public education.
I reckon this would be more for us living history folks, though I suppose we could do tacticals. You lose, I nuked you. LOL
So would it be worth exploring setting up a living history unit? I know there is a group in the south land that does "modern" soviet paratrooper. I am wondering about the interest in just run of the mill mechanized infantry, Germany or Afghanistan, you name it.
Maybe there is no interest. But I am buying the stuff now while it's dirt cheap.
Oh and when I use the term modern, I mean the scope of post Korean War to Fall of the USSR. I know there is no longer a USSR. Hehehehe Perhaps the era between WWII and Korea, but that's boring cause we could use WWII uniforms.
I like fun new uniforms. ;D
Later
