Thoughts on [LW] WW1 Russians for CoC

[cuprum]

Yes, these machine guns originally were purchased for the cavalry. But then they were retired of line units and transferred into service garrison of the fortress. Since the beginning of the war, these machine guns were transferred to the infantry units.

[H.M.Stanley]

RUSSIAN INFANTRY PLATOON
PLATOON FORCE RATING:
Regular: +2
Green: -3/-5

[*Option: remove the Platoon Sargeant when taking the Russians as Green and drop the Platoon Force Rating to -5,. This represens the Shock, Storm or Death Battalions, civilian volunteers who, in theory, had more access to additional MMGs etc]

Command Dice 5

National Characteristics:

a. Aggressive.
b. Urrahh! Doctrinal use of the bayonet. Pinned units may remove their pinned markers and charge & ignore their shock markers for movement but not combat.
c. Mobile Maxims  (may move 1D6 and fire at half effect i.e. 5 dice)
