Casey’s Soviet Inomarochnikiy Tankovy Batalon
From Stalin’s Europe
When Wayne told me what the army briefings were for Stalin's Europe three lists jumped out at me to do, Panzer IV/70s, Hungarian Assault Guns and the 76mm Sherman Batalon. Everyone else started doing Assault guns and Panzer IV/70s though, so I decided on the Sherman's in the end.
Conveniently I found a stash of old M4A3 76mm Sherman miniatures, so I decided that I’d do that army first. The Soviets used the 76mm M4A2 diesel Sherman variant, but since the only visual difference is on the engine deck, I thought they were close enough, plus our M4A2 model had yet to arrive back from our factory in Malaysia.

I didn’t really have any army list in mind when painting the battalion, I just decided to paint all 21 tanks available, since I already have pretty much all the support platoons available to them already painted.
What I was more interested in was using this as a painting exercise to experiment with faster ways of painting massed Soviet tanks and panel-fading techniques. I’d also just received some samples of the new soviet decals, so thought it would be a great opportunity to really decal up some tanks.

New Soviet Decals...
What I really want to do now is play a large game
with my 21 Sherman's backed up by my 21 T-34/85s against the other
guys’ Stalin’s Europe armies.
