About the game
From 1941 through the spring of 1944 the Red Army bore the principal burden of opposing the German Wehrmacht on the continent of Europe. The armored and mobile forces would eventually be forged into a weapon capable of smashing the German armed forces, but it was the infantry and artillery which held the Germans at bay in the critical fighting of 1941 and 1942, and kept the Soviet Union in the war. Regardless of what rule system you play with, this supplement is the indispensable and definitive guide to the Soviet infantry and artillery in World War II. It includes organizational and order of battle information not available in any other single volume. TO&E charts for all Soviet infantry and artillery divisions, and separate brigades and regiments in World War II, including organizational and equipment changes. Among the less common, but important, units covered are: NKVD Border Guards and Internal Security troops Airborne Rifle brigades and corps Ski brigades and battalions, along with attached aerosan units. Naval infantry brigades. Revised and expanded Soviet data charts. Aircraft ratings for all Soviet combat aircraft in the west. Appendices cover the strength and organization of the Soviet-organized forces of Czechoslovakia and Poland.
