"Traditionally Soviet tactics in World War II are seen as waves of men being hurled at enemy positions until they overwhelm them despite suffering enormous casualties, and to a great extent that is true. However after Stalingrad there was growing interest in more sophisticated tactics and alternatives to the human-wave approach, and one result of this was the formation of assault units, particularly engineers.

They may be rough but are the only set in town, so I ordered a box which arrived today. They are surprisingly well done when you see them up close and personal and the flash is not bad at all, being mostly confined to the semi prone grenade thrower.
