STALINGRAD Bolt Action Mega Battle!
Reinforcements for my Rodimtsev's 13th Guards Rifle Division Squad.
Some times you have glaring gaps in your order of battle/display cabinet, and one of mine has been my Guard division troops. I started of strong and put together 2 under strength squads, then got distracted by more distinctive looking, or unusual units such as Straffbat troops.
These guys are going to be a solid backbone for my Soviet Army in my ‘Stalingrad Mega Battle’. I have 2 squads so far, and intend to build another, and run them all at full strength and Regular rating.
I am using the “No land beyond the Volga” Reinforced platoon as the basis for this platoon, which will allow them to take an MMG, HMG and up to six Anti Tank Teams.

I plan to anchor them in the Pavolv’s House building at the centre of the battle, kit them out with as much fire power as possible, and a have the as the central lynchpin holding the Soviet centre ground. Having hard cover, with high elevations in the multi storey Pavlov’s House, They should be incredibly difficult to dislodge, and will have birds eye views to shoot at the enemy from. As a result I will be giving them an Heavy Mortar, an FAO and a multi purpose ZIS 3 Anti Tank Gun, which can also fire as a Light Howitser.
