Russian Rifle Division

[Ratzki]

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.
