Fly The Colours With Flames Of War Soviet Red Banner Warriors
September 11, 2015 by brennon
Flames Of War have some tips and tricks online for making yourself a Red Banner to lead your Soviet troops into battle. As well as that there is a metal set containing troopers, the Red Banner Warriors, who can hold said colours for you...
The banners were a useful way of motivating your troops to fight harder. With the Soviets pushing hard into Germany and assaulting Berlin the troops were stuck into some fierce fighting so any bolstering effect would have been useful.
The set has been designed to allow you a lot of choice when it comes to making your Red Banner Warriors offering a range of different poses.
In game terms having this banner at the objective at game end could be the swing you need to force a win. It certainly is very 'Russian'.
Would you bring these into battle?

Shame the banner bearer’s look like they are carrying telegraph poles…
maybe they’re Scottish expat communists with flag bearing caber’s? mind you, say that out loud and it does become a bit of a stretch…
meh, the other bits like the bloke with the camera look great however, maybe just have to drill out the pole and replace it (even if it does sound like a bit of a faff)
Nice figures!
But the banner pole looks indeed seriously silly..bit of an embarrassment.
