Vera

Czechoslovakian Vera Oravec (she became Vera Laska after she married Andy Laska after the war ended) started her resistance against the Nazis at age 15 when she helped to smuggle refugees out of occupied territories.  Read here for more on her fascinating life.  

I got a bit carried away the red and yellow colours on her skirt and socks - I've no historical basis for this choice but it was fun to give her a splash of colour!

  1. I'm loving all these female resistance fighters you're painting up. Look forward to you getting them in a game soon...

    1. They may just end up as background. But still, 02 Hundred is opening up some great opportunities for these ladies!
