Night Witches, Night Swallows

Recently, Kaptain Kobold posted about the Night Witches role-playing game by Bully Pulpit Games - a game centered around the Soviet all-female 588th Night Bomber Regiment. I found the idea of the game very intriguing and plan to pick it up.

Then, as luck would have it, Amazon, being omniscient, suggested the Russian television series, Night Swallows, which I continuously incorrectly refer to as Night Sparrows, focused on members of the all-female 46th "Taman" Guards Night Bomber Aviation Regimente.

Night Swallows closely ties the action of the flyers to an army commando unit, with the requisite TV romantic complications (the historical accuracy of any of this bit isn't anything I've looked into).  In addition to the Germans, there is at least one Russian "bad guy" - you know the one, the one who reports every infraction as a violation against the Motherland and Stalin.

Some of the situations seem contrived - like because they are a night bombing regiment, the Germans seem to decide to do everything at night. Regardless, there are plenty of small-scale scenario ideas here for both air and land wargamers.

Given the number of movies / TV shows I've watched featuring all-female Soviet units, it's becoming increasingly difficult to avoid contemplating acquiring figures for gaming (28mm is more promising on this front than 1/32 or 1/35 even. I wonder if anyone at the "local" game shop would balk if I show up with an all-female platoon for Bolt Action?)
