Bosnians & Bresica

One of the Bosnian Infantry from Odemars is sneaking around the corner of a Bresica Miniatures terrain feature. Notice how nice the sand bags sag and droop, like real sandbags. I hate it when they make sandbags out of stacked Chiclets.

The Bresica Miniatures terrain is sold by Michigan Toy Soldier company and is a high quality resin terrain. It is flash free and comes both painted and unpainted. I like the step feature that allows wargame troops to be positioned exiting or entering the position without having to balance on some sloping terrain. Their products come in both 1/32 and 1/72 scales.

The really shows off a feature I really like about this terrain. The soldiers are firing over the parapet, but under a log. Troops often used logs to reinforce their positions and firing from under a log made the shooter less visible against the background.

The same terrain part from the rear, I like the work on the trench wall, good support to prevent the cave in of the dirt onto the shooters. These Odemars troops fit well with the new Caesar German Mountain Troops. These troops wear the fez as do many of the Caesar set. By combining both sets you have a nice variety for a unit of SS mountain troops. This is about the last time in history soldiers used the fez as part of their combat uniform, so they are interesting for that reason too.
