I like the way you have captured the greenish tinge of the Russian uniforms. I have used Vallejo Middlestone to try for a similar effect. I have also seen photos of Russian re-enactors, where the exact shade of uniform varies from light dust through to the khaki green that you have used. Probably a bit too fiddly for 6mm.

The advancing infantry have khaki drab trousers for example. Having to paint large numbers of figures in a relatively short time means that too much variation is not a sensible option ;-)

PS: the greenish tinge is from the Wargames Foundry COL082 triad.

We played the Gnila Lipa North and South scenarios on Sunday at the Joy of Six Show. The scenarios came from 'Summer Harvest', one of the Eastern Front supplements to Great War Spearhead II. The two maps formed a continuous battlefield with 12 feet of tables. Here are some photos and an AAR:
