Russian Opolchenija from Filippo

Just before leaving for a 2 days business trip to London, another great work from Filippo: a squad of Russian Opolchenjia. Above, the commander and priest/standard bearer (a modified figure from Mirliton Miniatures).
The first half-squad...
And the second half-squad (with colpacks).
The complete Opolchenija squad: Steve Barber and Front Rank miniatures.
Thanks Filippo!

A couple of pics sent by Alex from Serbia: SDS was played at Jatachenje Con last week. Above, Alex (left) teaching the rules to his opponent, who has an alternative way of using measuring sticks... :)

And here is the last phase of the battle, with French Cavalry charging into the village. Thanks to Alex for sharing. More pics and a battle rep can be found at:
