Battlefront had their big Live Launch weekend for the new Soviets coming to Flames of War. This week, they continue their releases with some more units, as well as some accessories and even a battlefield terrain pack. Have yourselves a look.
100mm Heavy Tank-Killer Company (SU521)
The 100mm BS-3 anti-tank gun is one of the most powerful anti-tank gun produced during the war. Despite mainly being used in an antitank role, the weapon’s calibre means that its High Explosive (HE) round is extremely effective; allowing it to fulfil duel roles on the battlefield.
M3 Scout Transports (SU206)
The US M3 Scout Car was another piece of Western equipment sent to the Eastern Front to aid the Soviets in their battle against the invading Wehrmacht. Employed by the Red Army’s reconnaissance companies, the M3 Scout Transports were used to dash forward through machine gun fire, returning fire with their own .50 cal MG. Once at close range, the infantry would dismount and assault in a short and bloody attack.
Soviet Guards Gaming Aids
Even though they are toy soldiers, your troops react to heavy fire like real soldiers. Sometimes they get pinned down or bail out of their tanks. Tokens help you keep track of the state of your troops.
City Ruins (Plastic) (BB300)
The City Ruins box includes 32 pieces, allowing you to build a large ruined city building. These plastic ruined pieces allow you to construct a wide variety of buildings, making each ruined building or city block look unique. Combine multiple sets to create larger buildings, or vary the level of destruction, to add some new tactical challenges to your tabletop.
