Infantry rifle squad (Soviet)

Description

As the Red Army was so huge – with over 34 million soldiers deployed during World War II, so the range of the troop quality and unit composition also varied. These included the Shtrafbat penal squads, Guards units and Eastern Front veterans. This infantry rifle squad can be used to represent any of the standard units that were fielded as purely riflemen.

Though rare, women were also found in the Red Army performing combat roles. The “1st Separate Women’s Volunteer Rifle Brigade” was active from 1942-44. While many of women performed second line duties such as manning AA sites, they also saw front line combat. This was the case during the Battle of Stalingrad where women of the 1077th Anti-Aircraft Regiment engaged in ground combat.

The men’s unit comprises 1x NCO, 11x riflemen.

The women’s unit comprises 1x NCO, 10x riflewomen (though the LMG loader is a man in this unit)
