Where better to start than the GAZ Tigr, available in 28mm scale from Empress. The Tigr is a infantry mobility … Continue reading Impressions: Empress GAZ Tigr
Time for a little extra post to push you on through the week!

Checking the site at the start of … Continue reading Impressions: Warhansa Spetsnaz
