402014003 Soviet Red Army Infantry 1:56 WWII Military Wargaming Figures Plastic Model Kit

These are the men who fought ferociously to defend Mother Russia from the German invasion of 1941 through to the fall of Berlin in 1945. Simple peasant soldiers, they were taught to obey orders and do as they were told. Their life was hard and their battles probably unequalled in history for scale and suffering. The Russian divisions grew from a disorganized mass to a fully capable and experienced force of modern infantry in just a few short years, a deadly weapon tempered in the cauldron of battle against the German invaders.



"Quantity has a quality of its own" said Joseph Stalin, alluding to the huge numbers of men he could put into the field. Well-equipped with simple, solid weaponry the Soviet soldier was a terror in attack and the very devil in defence as the legendary sieges of Leningrad and Stalingrad hold in stark testimony. This box gives you a platoon of grim Russian infantry with a variety of equipment and weaponry. Assemble your men, fix bayonets, look to your front and don't let the Commissar see you lag behind?

This product is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue and paints not included. Recreate World War II combat on a tabletop using dice, model troops, tanks and the rules constructed by Bolt Action against one or more opponents. Each opposing side will also require painted model troops, representing the soldiers, guns and tanks of your chosen armies. Tabletop encounters take place according to twelve closely defined battle scenarios that explain how forces are deployed and how victory is achieved.



All that remains is for players to pit their wits against each other as they enact just one small part of one of the greatest conflicts in history - World War II. Build, paint and play! The construction and painting of the models and watching them come to life are just as much fun as the game itself!
