Russians Pt.11- Rota Razvedki Mounted Reconnaissance Squad

Here is the squad that will accompany my M3 White Scout car onto the table. Constructed from a mixture of troopers pulled from several different places, I was able to build this squad from quite a few already painted figures that needed only a few completing to finish off the squad.

All of the male SMG soldiers are troopers I have swapped out of my Tank Hunter teams to make way for Bad Squiddo's female soldier additions, which made up most of the squad for me, right there! The rifle-armed trooper with the beard was included in my LMG Squad, but I swapped him out to make my banner bearer a permanent addition to that squad. The NCO is an officer that came with the original Red Army box from Warlord (as did all of the other figures, bar one) and looked suitably gnarly and experienced to represent a veteran leader. The final member of the squad is a Bad Squiddo female trooper from their recent Kickstarter project. She's actually a tank rider, but I've transferred her into the recon troops. As one of the two rifle armed troopers, she can elect to stay in the scout car an 'man' one of the MMGs as per the Mounted Recon rule found in Fortress Budapest. Or, they can all debus and fight normally.
