Plastic Soldier Company Drop Battlegroup Northag Previews
September 30, 2019 by brennon
Plastic Soldier Company has been talking about a new Battlegroup option coming soon, Northag. This take on Cold War-era 10mm warfare is coming soon and with it a new pack of models for you to get stuck into too. Kicking things off will be the Starter Sets for the British and the Soviets.
These model kits are going to be part of the pre-order period which is going to be coming up soon. They have a fair amount of kit in them too with a fair chunk of vehicles and infantry in each which give you options when playing your first games.
As well as a couple of Starter Sets for the game you're also going to be able to get your hands on some packs which then bolster your force even more. You can find out more about those over on Facebook but I've picked a couple of previews here...
The Soviets and the British are the main focus as mentioned above, battling against each other in Europe as the struggle for control of the continent shifts and forces these mighty world powers to have to go to war once again after the terrors of World War II.
I'm sure, as Plastic Soldier are want to do, there are going to be lots more releases coming out to support this 10mm experience in the near future too.
Are you going to be diving into this range?

Operation red storm rising begins?
What i think is amusing, these tanks are 1/144, which is the same scale as the ones Victrix recently announced. Victrix missed a trick by not calling their’s 10mm – would have saved a lot of wailing and nashing of teeth (or stop trying to call 10mm, 15mm, 28mm etc a scale).
I think your right here @Robert
Units of distance are not scales (period)
Maybe we need a hashtag to spread the word ?
The smaller scale from others games may be better. It will be interesting to see how the rules go.
The SITREP Team covered the rules and mentioned the models from Plastic Soldier that would go hand-n-hand with ‘Northag’. In that episode, https://youtu.be/lvIcaghK1Ag , they talked with the man himself Piers from Iron First Publishing on their latest set of rules ‘Northag’. Check it out if you want to hear more about those rules.
These models look, from the box art, pretty good. I’ve been looking at starting a collection of models for use with Battlegroup’s rules. This may be the route to go instead of the 15mm that I’ve been looking at previously.
@templar007 Did I mis hear on the video that Piers was looking at a Northag size of games for WW2?
I didn’t know they were 10mm scale. That means not much space required! All the vehicles in the top picture were built just a couple of miles from where I was brought up. That is enough excuses for me…and Piers wrote it too.
Better get saving up.
Excuse not to buy it, surely @unclejimmy
😉
I wonder whether it would match on the table with 00 scale railway models and buildings (1:120 scale)? Could potentially open some new possibilities…
OO gauge is 1/76
Yep, thanks. Was thinking about TT gauge (1:120).
N-scale would be the closest, I think. I’ve used plenty of N-scale stuff in Dropzone Commander, which is 10mm. The buildings look about right for the infantry models.
Damn, I think I might get on that thing. Always wanted to go battle group and well…. cold war gone hot? Hell yeah
Plus that’d fill in my idea of 6mm minis for Team Yankee
This is the next BIG thing for me! Really looking forward to it. The tanks look really nice but are there any pictures of the infantry around?
