The Russian Army allows a more direct approach to the enemy thanks to the number of troops available and their little care for human losses.
In game terms you will notice that the basic units donŐt have the variants that are available to the optional units.
This has been done to simulate the fact that only the specialised units had the right to have special equipment while the masses had more basic weapons.
The ability to attach into groups of more that 30 men allows very aggressive strategic choices but, at the same time, can easily lead to disaster.
The rules regarding Political zeal and the Political Motivation Table are an attempt to simulate the efforts of the zealous party-men to maintain order and discipline in the under-motivated militia.
Given that tasks normally given to a squad were carried out by a Platoon in the Russian Army, we have shown organisation of the Russian Army up to Company level.
