Soviet Army (Winter) Starter Army

Bolt Action: Soviet Army (Winter) starter army

Hitler was confident of a short campaign when his German army crashed across the Russian border in 1941. The heroic defence by the massive Soviet armies slowed the Nazi advance. Brave, solid and loyal, Soviet soldiers endured terrible combat conditions, and their equipment was simple but functional, much like the troops themselves. What they lacked in quality, they made up for in the sheer numbers of their troops and the equipment available to them – as Josef Stalin famously said: "Quantity has a quality all its own."

This starter army contains enough troops to create a sizeable force for the defence of the Motherland in the bitter winter that plagued the Eastern Front. The fierce fighting in Finland had taught the Red Army a harsh lesson, with thousands of its men succumbing to frostbite.
