The Strelkovy form the bulk of the Red Army. Their role is to break through the enemy defences, forcing a gap for the mechanised troops to exploit. These formidable troops are now the latest additions to the Flames Of War plastic miniatures range.
While the division’s Shturmovye Groups lead the attack on the enemy positions, the rest of the Strelki (riflemen) follow behind as the reserve and to mop up isolated pockets of resistance. The Strelkovy Battalions retain all their standard weapons. Their Mosin Nagant rifles, DP light machine-guns, and Maksim heavy machine-guns are ideal for the reserve role where they provide covering fire for the assaulting Shturmovye Groups.
