Flames of War Late War: Soviet Rifle Company

The Great Patriotic War has taken the lives of millions of dedicated socialist soldiers. While the Soviet Union is vast, even with the full support of its people it cannot replace losses on this scale. The valiant Soviet frontovik is too valuable to waste with blunt tactics and is not to be thrown away meaninglessly as in the early years of the war. You must use your soldiers wisely. Pound the enemy with your artillery, hammer the Fascists time and again, then attack where the cracks appear. Do not stop until the Motherland has been liberated from the fascist dogs! The basic building block of the Red Army is still the Rifle Battalion. The essence of this force is a mass of infantry, far more infantry than any other army can field. Your infantry is well supported by a complete range of weapons: machine-guns, mortars, anti-tank guns, artillery, and anti-aircraft guns. The Rifle Company Box can be used to make a Rifle Company (including Guards Hero, Red Banner or Motor) or Armoured Reconnaissance Platoon.
