Soviet Human Wave

[herroberst]

Leto, there is a Task Force Smith Scenario out for CMBB if you are interested in Soviet v American games.

McIvan, the Russians used human wave in the early war years against the Germans as it was the only way to move the poorly trained Russian infantry forward... that and Russia had some very poor leaders still focused on WWI tactics during this period. There is plenty written in this regard by eyewitnesses to knocking over the advancing Russian lines in windrows. It was used but was rare in Korea... as you point out Allied firepower would make short work of it as German firepower did earlier. Japanese Banzai charges could be included too... I suppose a commander could think there is a psychological advantage to such a thing against green troops but against somebody who knew what they were doing it never worked.
