Russian Rifle Division - Ratzki - 11-19-2006 Thought I would post this if anyone is interested. Was fooling around with my son the other night and we came up with a CMBB representation of an Early CMBB Russian Rifle Division. We had to compromise on a few things but this should be reletively accurate, if I am way off feel free to correct the mistakes. Thought it might be usfull to anyone wanting to make a scenario in this time period and needed to know what units could be present. You could use the '41A Rifle Battalion as a start, or a Company, and base the attachments on the following. Russian Rifle Division 1941 June - November 1941 Rifle Battalion '41A Use only for Battalions formed before August 1941, August and after, use Rifle Battalion '41B. Rifle Battalion '41A does not exist after November 1941, as all have been converted to Rifle Battalion '41B. A Rifle Division has 9 such Battalions at this point. 1x Battalion HQ 1x Mortar Spotter 82mm (6 tube) 2x 45mm Model 38 Antitank Gun 1x Company HQ 2x Maxim MG 1x Platoon HQ 4x Rifle '41 Squad 1x 50mm Mortar 1x Platoon HQ 4x Rifle '41 Squad 1x 50mm Mortar 1x Platoon HQ 4x Rifle '41 Squad 1x 50mm Mortar 1x Company HQ 2x Maxim MG 1x Platoon HQ 4x Rifle '41 Squad 1x 50mm Mortar 1x Platoon HQ 4x Rifle '41 Squad 1x 50mm Mortar 1x Platoon HQ 4x Rifle '41 Squad 1x 50mm Mortar 1x Company HQ 2x Maxim MG 1x Platoon HQ 4x Rifle '41 Squad 1x 50mm Mortar 1x Platoon HQ 4x Rifle '41 Squad 1x 50mm Mortar 1x Platoon HQ 4x Rifle '41 Squad 1x 50mm Mortar 1x Company HQ 1x Platoon HQ 4x Maxim MG 1x Platoon HQ 4x Maxim MG 1x Platoon HQ 4x Maxim MG Limber 2x Truck Regimental Attachments There are three Regiments in a Rifle Division, the following represents only one Regiment's worth of units. 1x Regimental HQ Recon Company Use Recon Battalion '41- Recon Company (Motorized) 1x Company HQ 1x Platoon HQ 3x Recon A Squad 1x 50mm Mortar 1x Platoon HQ 3x Recon A Squad 1x 50mm Mortar 1x Platoon HQ 3x Recon A Squad 1x 50mm Mortar Mounted Recon Platoon (Horse) Use Regimental Recon Platoon '41 1x Platoon HQ 4x Recon A Squad Infantry Recon Platoon Use Regimental Recon Platoon '41 1x Platoon HQ 4x Recon A Squad AA Company 1x Company HQ 8x 37mm AA Gun 4x 76mm AA Gun 9x Truck Light AA MG Platoon 8x Maxim MG 1x DShK12.7mm HMG 5x Truck Pioneer Company Use Pioneer Company '41 1x Company HQ 1x Platoon HQ 4x Pioneer Squad 1x Platoon HQ 4x Pioneer Squad ?x Flame Throwers are a special attachment held Regimentally Regimental Gun Battery 1x Company HQ 2x 76.2mm M1927/39 Regimental Gun 3x Truck AT Battery 1x Company HQ 6x 37mm or 45mm Antitank Gun 7x Truck Divisional Attachments 1x Division HQ **Recon Battalion** Use Recon Battalion '41- Recon Company (Motorized) JUNE ONLY 1x Company HQ 1x Platoon HQ 3x Recon A Squad 1x 50mm Mortar 1x Platoon HQ 3x Recon A Squad 1x 50mm Mortar 1x Platoon HQ 3x Recon A Squad 1x 50mm Mortar Armored Car Company JUNE ONLY 10x BA-20 Armored Car 5x BA-6 or BA-10 Armored Car Light Tank Company JUNE ONLY 17x Any Combination of T-37, T-38, T-38M2, and T-40 Tankettes **Recon Battalion** Use Recon Battalion '41- Recon Company (Motorized) JULY to NOVEMBER 1x Company HQ 1x Platoon HQ 3x Recon A Squad 1x 50mm Mortar 1x Platoon HQ 3x Recon A Squad 1x 50mm Mortar 1x Platoon HQ 3x Recon A Squad 1x 50mm Mortar Total Artillery Regimental and Divisional 4x Artillery Spotter 76mm 1x Mortar Spotter 120mm 6x Howitzer Spotter 122mm 2x Howitzer Spotter 152mm RE: Russian Rifle Division - Lord Bane - 11-20-2006 Ratski, I think that you forgot one of the Divisional Attachments that contained crucial equipment for the majority of 1941 Russian Rifle Divisions. This represents French Lend-Lease equipment received in 1940: Division Logistical Attachment 1 x Platoon HQ 25 x Truck 25 x Truck loads of White Flags Lord Bane RE: Russian Rifle Division - Copper - 11-20-2006 LMAO.... very good. Bootie RE: Russian Rifle Division - McIvan - 11-20-2006 I was surprised to learn the other day that French KIA in WWII (not including the substantial civilian casualties from bombing and slave labour) was not far short of US KIA in all theatres....something like 400k to 480k. Given that the Germans took something like 200k casualties in the invasion of France I guess some French managed to fight after all. That's what all these "cheese eating surrender monkey" threads are based on, aren't they? The performance in WWII? As if any other nation in 1939 would have done much better. As if the French sacrifices in WWI never existed. The 400k French dead includes all the French units & divisions that fought in North Africa, central africa, Italy, southern france, Normandy, and the French army that fought in SE france in the closing campaigns against Germany. I don't recall if it included dead from the Marquis/resistance who controlled at times quite large areas with substantial units. I get a sick feeling in my stomach to hear such casual disparagement of the French dead of WWII and the French formations such as the divisions commanded by Juin in Italy. RE: Russian Rifle Division - Copper - 11-20-2006 No one is laughing at the war dead... we are laughing at the stereotype. Bootie RE: Russian Rifle Division - Lord Bane - 11-20-2006 Hey, Who said anything about cheese eating? RE: Russian Rifle Division - Mad Baron - 11-21-2006 RE: Russian Rifle Division - McIvan - 11-21-2006 Well, I do apologise...I was exceptionally grumpy yesterday evening and working late. My post was an overreaction. The cheese eating surrender monkeys thing is a term I've heard repeated a number of times although not in your post. Its been a cumulative thing that pushed my button right at that moment. Bootie I know you were laughing at a steroetype, but its mostly very recent and really tired stereotype that is politically motivated and quite malicious. You never would have heard this kind of stuff widely disseminated five years ago.
