Title: Civilian Stowage
Post by: Patrick R on May 24, 2017, 04:43:12 pm

I was thinking that added Civilian Stowage and loot would be useful, stuff like Bicycles, crates of bottles, mattresses, chairs, boxes, radio sets, paintings (or frames so you can add your own painting) etc ...

Crooked Dice have just released resin mattresses, I will find one and photograph it on a Rubicon vehicle.

Mattress armour would be useful.

Okay, the Crooked Dice mattress is rather bourgeois for the good Soviet soldiers.

Neat , all we need now is a 28mm photo etch brass bed to put it on  :D There is a photo of a IS 2 , IRC, with a brass bed on the engine deck in Berlin June 45 , I'll see if I can find it . Can;t really see the use in a game , armor protection - 0 , but would make a cool diorama

It would count as Schutzen (against heat), same as shopping trolley armour does on modern vehicles.
