The SkirmishCampaigns scenario books use a system designed to keep players guessing about exactly what each fight is about, and to keep the scenarios from getting stale when replayed. Each player receives a base force (armor and infantry), plus a randomly selected attachment.

For this scenario, our Soviet base force will be:
- a platoon of three T-34 medium tanks (unit has already taken losses due to air interdiction and/or mechanical breakdown)
- one T-28 heavy tank
- a political section (commissar and two riflemen)
- two motorized rifle squads, each consisting of:
- a squad leader
- a two-man LMG team
- a grenadier and assistant
- seven riflemen
- a truck

The Soviet player will also receive one of the following, selected randomly:
- a platoon of three BT-7 light tanks (35% chance)
- a platoon of two BA-10 armored cars (25% chance)
- a 45mm Model 1938 Anti-Tank Gun, plus truck and crew (20% chance)
- a platoon of two KV-1 heavy tanks (20% chance)

Force of Arms is the only manufacturer in this scale for the 45mm anti-tank gun, an essential weapon for Barbarosa-period Russian Front gaming. The first painting service dropped the ball (and lost our model), but Pigmented Miniatures came through for us. |

Black Tree's Soviet Character Set I looked like a good source for interesting figures. Friar Barb of Friar Barb's Painting Monastery painted the set for us. |
