One of the first box sets I got after a box of plastic infantry was this OOP Red Army set. I like the poses on the troopers, and because there are two LMGs in the set, I decided to make this my LMG squad. I use them as a base of fire for the rest of the army to work around. Russians being Russians, I'm able to field a couple of cheap (or free) rifle Squads to do the more dirty work. This squad stays back and uses rifles and LMGs at range to soften up targets and clock up the pins.
The thing I like about most Russian squads is that they can contain up to twelve men. This adds a bit of padding to soak up casualties before Morale tests need to be taken. In this squad, this allows the LMGs to keep firing away. Definitely an auto-include in any Russian force I build.
