Bolt Action - Soviet Union - Soviet Naval Brigade Veteran Squad
Product Code: 403214008
With the Soviet navy largely bottled up in harbour, many sailors were pressed into service as frontline infantrymen, often still dressed in their black naval uniform with its distinctive cap and striped telnyashka undershirt.
A number of specialised naval infantry units were formed: forty brigades and five regiments. They won a reputation for tenacity and daring both in defensive fighting and in coastal landing operations on the Baltic and Black Seas. With their previous military experience and strong esprit de corps, they were some of the best troops available to Soviet commanders. This is also true on the Bolt Action tabletop, with Naval Brigade units a part of the Hammer & Sickle army special rules, bringing the ever-useful Tough Fighters rule. These veterans are well equipped with a plethora of submachine guns, perfect for laying down a withering hail of close-range fire.
German troops called the Naval Infantry the 'Black Death' because of their black or dark blue uniforms and fierce reputation, a well-deserved sobriquet!
Contains:
- 12 Warlord Resin 28mm miniatures:
- 1 NCO with submachine gun
- 1 soldier armed with LMG
- 10 soldiers armed with submachine guns
- Plastic bases
Miniature sculpted by Wojtek Flis. Studio miniatures painted by Andres Amian.
