Things have clearly got desperate when the Tank Factory Workers gave had to down tools, and pick up rifles. These miniatures have bags of character, and add a real visual narrative to the table-top. These are the first two of hopefully many.
They are rated as ‘Inexperienced’ and only equipped with rifles, but you get a LOT of them for 7 points each. Also, they are ‘Green’, so every now and again a unit will get upgraded to ‘Regular’, which will stiffen the Soviet defence. With a ‘Frontnick’ Commissar (See “Campaign Stalingrad”) they can be motivated by his ‘Inspiring Rhetoric’ special rule, ‘into losing their -1 to hit when shooting for being ‘Inexperienced’, when he is within 6 inches. I plan to paint up at least 2 twelve -man squads of these guys, and a commissar to create a mass gun line to take out German Infantry, whilst three of the ‘Tractor Factory T-34’s’ take on the armour.
