Hey guys, just wondering if I could get some help making my next purchase.  I'm planning on spending around $50 on miniature market soon and am not sure what to get exactly.

Here's what I already have:

Hero Pack

Winter Child

Grand'ma/Koshka

Medvedi Command Squad

2 Fakyeli

2 Chinese Volunteers

1 Frontoviki

1 Ohotniki

2 Specialist boxes (snipers/observers)

2 Drakoni

2 Transport Heli's

1 Ground Attack Heli

2 KV-47's

For sure I'll be getting the IS-48 Heavy Tank, so that leaves around $25.  I'm not sure whether to expand my air attack force by adding a second attack heli, purchase the other heavy tank IS-5, or expand my troops by adding a couple of Red Guard squads.

What do you guys think?

Red Thunder + Karamzin = Kerploded tanks

I say you can take a look at the new KV-3 walker coming out. Its shipping to wholesalers right now. It can be adapted into anti-armor or anti-inf/air. still a walker but is armor 5 and 6 health so pretty sturdy. but that might be too mcuh of the same thing with the IS-48 tank

although with 25, I agree you can get commisar squad plus the red guard anti-tank squad will also give some inf. anti tank and commisar squad can buff your other squads as well. 

I already have 2 Drakoni squads, I don't need more commissars.  I think I'm gonna grab the is-48 and kv-3 since it just released.

I dig the new KV-3.  Why not the Mao/Lenin?  Mao has one of the best all-around guns in the game.  Unless you're going with the rule of cool and rocking TESLA weapons, in which case, I hear ya, man.

Kv-3 is a "must-have" in my opinion, so the second choice comes down to the is-48 or is-5. The is-48 has better appeal because tinpot only has the cool factor of the Karl Marx and his TESLA weapons, but the lavrentiy Beria is very good as well. I like the combination of anti-tank + flame weapon.
