Infantry weapons teams are a key component of any Bolt Action army, providing as they do great tactical flexibility for your force. Sniper teams, flamethrower teams and light mortar teams are among the most prevalent, presenting your opponent with multiple challenges to overcome.

The sniper became synonymous with the Red Army, particularly during the grim sieges of Stalingrad and Leningrad. ‘Sniper schools’ were established in bombed-out buildings and cellars, where successful snipers passed down their skills to ever-growing numbers of students – many of them women. Soviet propaganda lavished attention on successful snipers and encouraged a doctrine of ‘sniperism’ among the troops. Snipers used telescopic sights on either a bolt action Moisin-Nagant 1891/30, or, more rarely, a Tokarev SVT-40 smi-automatic rifle. A variety of ammunition was used, including tracer and armour-piercing rounds. Soviet snipers were available at company level working as teams or sometimes on their own. Individual Red Army squads would often have a designated marksman with a scoped rifle to help compensate for the lack of long-range firepower due to the large numbers of submachine guns in use. Soviet snipers became renowned for their fieldcraft, stealth and patience. The most successful snipers each accounted for hundreds of the enemy – around 500 being the greatest tally recorded by a single sniper.

The standard light mortar used by Russian infantry during World War II was the 50mm Infantry Mortar Model 1940 (50-PM 40), a cheaper version of the earlier model 1938, In addition, the Soviet army received considerable numbers of 2-inch mortars from Britain via Lend-Lease. The 50mm was deemed a ‘company’ mortar as opposed to the heavier 82mm battalion and 120mm regimental mortars. The allocation of 50mm mortars was initially to individual teams at platoon level, but later they were more often concentrated together at company level for use en masse. The weapon was easily man-portable and could lay down a high explosive or smoke bombs at a range of over 800 yards.

The Soviets made great use of flamethrowers including FOG-1 static types dug in to cover bunkers and trenches. Due to shortcomings in developing other credible anti-tank weapons, Red Army doctrine placed strong emphasis on using flamethrowers as anti-tank as well as anti-infantry weapons. They even formed separate motorised anti-tank flamethrower battalions in 1943. By far the most common Russian flamethrowers were the man-packed ROKS types. The ROKS-2 was designed with a fuel tank that looked like an ordinary backpack and a nozzle resembling a rifle, so as not to attract unwelcome attention on the battlefield.

Love the message the story tells, easy read!
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
This book tells a perfect little story teaching little ones to be thankful. I love how it only tells a story about being thankful and kind, but it also is teaching them numbers through repetition. Each page shows a number and also has the word of the number to read. In such a short read, little ones can learn a lot. Because it’s short and sweet, it keeps their attention and the illustrations are cute and fun for toddlers to follow along with. This makes for a perfect gift for a new little one or a great addition to a current toddler library! In our family, we also love that it’s a board book Because it holds up longer with a family of three little ages 1, 2.5 and 4. Everyone enjoys it and it’s a family favorite!

Just the sweetest book ever
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
This is such a great read along for a 2-4 year old. I love the message of being thankful, it includes number counting, animals, and lots of cute graphics that kids love. Such a great read. Also being a board book it’s more sturdy than a standard book and I can let my toddler turn through the pages on his own without the fear of it ripping. Sturdy, attention catching, and a great teaching message makes it a wonderful read for kids.
