My Soviets
I've been collecting and building this Soviet force for quite a while. I got the basic infantry from a friend who didn't want to be the only one with an army, believe it or not. Since then I've added two platoons of SMGs, several tanks, field guns and more. Here are some photos of my force.
The rifle platoon makes up the backbone of any good World War II force. Here is second platoon's third squad being led on by its platoon leader.
I know it is second platoon, third squad by the markings on the back of the stands.
Here is the company command stand, with leaders arguing, a spotter, a radio man and two guards.
Here are the two 76.2mm field guns that double as effective anti-tank guns. The section's reliable Stalinets tractors stand ready to rush the guns forward.
In addition to the field guns, the Russians have access to anti-tank rifles, like these PTRS 1941 14.5mm guns. Not terribly effective against the best German tanks, but useful against soft-skinned vehicles and half-tracks.
The M1910 Maxim HMGs provide excellent, high-RPM fire support for the infantry.
When necessary, our troops have the training needed to construct field fortifications and large foxholes to take cover against our fascist foes.
Backing up the infantry is one of the best tanks ever built, the T-34. Armed with a 76mm cannon, the T-34 is well-equipped for dealing with the Nazi threat.
T-60 light tanks play an important role by ferreting out the fascist dog's hiding places and harassing his flanks. These are armed with 20mm cannon and have little armor, but they can be built quickly in existing car and truck factories.
When the fascists are cornered, they can put up a vicious fight. That's why new tanks, like this IS-2 with its 122mm gun and heavy armor, are rolling off the assembly line and through the front lines, taking the fight into the black heart of the Nazi homeland.
While our brave troops move ever closer to victory, no thanks to our laggard allies, we cannot forget the sacrifice made in the name of the Mother Russia.
