Flames of war Soviet Elites
« on: October 11, 2014, 10:04:57 AM »
I've just started to think about playing Flames of War. I've played a friend's Soviet army before and really like the feel of the army. However I'm not a fan of buying huge infantry hordes or tank based armies. Are there any suitable lists for Soviet elites in Flames of War which offer armies more the size of a company than a battalion? Is there a specific Soviet list or will I have to use another country's list as a substitute?
Thanks

Late War Soviet Rota Razvedki. 2 small combat platoons of basically "non recce" type SMG armed infantry, Ba=64s, heavy mortars, Su-85Ms or Su-100s, Spetznatz and a platoon of Valentine VIIIs (possibly 8 of them).
Cheers,

I agree, Red Bear (Late War) is your best bet for chocies.

There's also the option for an engineer-sapper battalion, guard Cossacks or a forward detachment.
