RE: Kaboom!
The BT tank series was designed for rapid road movement in the road network of central Europe. Think of them as Tzar Alexiev's mechanized Cossacks. As the champion of pan-Slavism, Alexiev probably supplied his "little brothers" with swift, highly efficient BT-11s. ( I liked the "Iceberg" hypothesis). REALLY looking forward to the Battle for Poland game. We've had a very small taste of Imperial German armor and French armor in Land Cruisers. No idea what Italian, Austrian, Romanian and Japanese armor will show up like in the Second Great War. Since the technology is about 1935 era, we should see large numbers of tankettes, Marmon mammoths, Rumanian developed FT-21s, Italian multiple rocket launching Moto Guzzi's.
I've gotta find a way to keep my compromised heart pumping for at least another 9 years.

RE: Kaboom!
According to a current Russian internet source, the Soviet Union fielded some 310 river and lake craft from 1934 to 1945 (this may be a count of started hulls however.). Per the daily content article of some years ago, the Soviets had 1 third large boats, 2 thirds small boats ..the brown water navy's fighting craft were armed by the expediant of mounting T-34 or T-28 turrets on board, armed with 76.2 tank guns and mgs. The T-28 turrets obviously needed some work to house 76.2 cannon. The larger boats sported 2 turrets. These brown water fighting boats fought throughout the war on the Danube, Donetz, Prius, Volga, Vistula, and Oder. Obviously, now that Matt and Daniel have developed the rules for PG riverine combat, there's room for many new historical scenarios.
