Battlefront Miniatures is actually throwing some infantry into the mix this time around with their new releases for Flames Of War. The Red Banner gets some ground support with a selection of new Company sets starting with the Rifle Company...
This is also supported by the SMG Company which is focused on more close quarters fighting.
If you prefer to fight alongside veterans, bringing the most powerful kit to bear alongside their experience, then you also have a Storm Group.
Each of these individual infantry companies is then supported by a range of heavy weapons...
Maksim MG Company
PTRD AT-Rifle Company
82mm or 120mm Mortar Company

Also, we get to see very little of the 'big head syndrome' that struck the infantry for Flames Of War back in the day which is always a good thing.
Are you going to be bolstering your Soviet force with these new options?

So they may be a little more brittle than hips plastic. But fixing that wasn’t an issue. I think it’s a good compromise material between metal and hips plastics and in 15 mm… Read more »
