Oh my life that was so funny at the very end
You have to admire his honesty
Ran out of guys…hmmm. Sounds like a perfectly plausible reason…lol. I would have have said that I had a secret plan and all will be revealed during play. That way, if something cool happened, I’d say “See, that’s why I had it set up this way”.
That is the best reason ever to limit unit size. Ha
I found building an army out of doing what Andrew said but also I like to look at personalizing some of the men to add characters. I’ll put a thread into the WW2 forum with some images to show what I mean if anyone is interested message me.
Running out of men has never been excuse uttered by a Russian commander ever.
Great answer!
Working on a Soviet army at the moment. I usually take only 1 extra body for my commanders in other forces, but with the Soviets I take 3 and forego the -1 hit mod for the meatshield.
LOL Great answer!
Vague comment!
Real fun is whole squads of SMG tank riders in body armor. Or engineers in body armor. Both are only killed on a 6+
Classic! I can imagine officers and commissars running out of mates.
Stalin is turning in his grave…..ran out of guys…..the motherland could never run out of men…..LOL
Soviets are my army in Bolt Action. Why? Tank dogs.
Love the answer – ran out of guys. I always run 2 in my command squads.
Iosef Stalin is credited with the saying that ‘Quantity has a quality of its own.’ Ran out of men… for the shame of it. 🙂
Somehow I suspect there is a bit of the old maskirovka going on here. I like the horde of tanks – they out to be good at knocking down Stompy Robots from Mars.
soviets- the army of choice for ex-IG 40k players
Russians are a real problem for me, just can’t kill them fast enough.
lol excellent answer
Good points 🙂
Totally unexpected answer lol
Lol, even my Mrs laughed at that one.
+1 for that answer.
Soviets by far my favorite army in BA, regular and Tank War. It is by far the most versatile army in the game. T-34s rock!
