Produktbeschreibung
As the heroic army of the Soviet state advances, their artillery, the Red God Of War, neutralises the capitalist enemy ahead of them. The artillery arm opens holes for the spearhead of Socialism to reclaim despoiled land and lift the yoke of capitalist oppression.
Our guns are built light so the gunners can roll them forward, blasting the Hitlerites from their positions.
Socialist artillery disdains the imprecise, uneconomical bombardments of the enemy that saturate an area with shells. Instead, Soviet artillery prefers to fire over open sights, with well-placed shots, destroying the fascist enemy.
Our Artillery Battalions are exceptionally well equipped. The 76mm ZIS-3 divisional gun that equips four platoons outranges most enemy artillery. These guns shell any target in view.
The remaining two platoons are armed with 122mm obr 1938 divisional howitzers. These fire a heavy shell, adding destructive force to massed artillery bombardments.
Soviet Artillery Battalions use the special rules on page 29 of Stalingrad to reflect their massed tactics and dogged determination.
The Russians often refer to artillery as the God of War. They have long been famous for their aggressive use of massed artillery. Long experience has taught them that direct fire is far more efficient at destroying the enemy than bombardments. When they do need to use bombardments, they always use massed guns to guarantee a result.
