93-Я ГВАРДЕЙСКАЯ СТРЕЛКОВАЯ ДИВИЗИЯ
93rd Guards Rifle Division
Major General Nicolai Zolotyzhin
Guards Divisions are somewhat overrated in western historical sources, and in result probably in SPWW2 too. I decided however to stick to SPWW2 concept of „amazing” guards division with great experience and morale boost. In practice, Guards divisions indeed received better equipment as first units, but they received no additional, advanced training whatsoever and they also went will full conscription if needs were there. In fact, proper elite Guards unit were gone in 1919 after the Civil War, and Soviet Guards were given the title if division fared good on the battlefield, ofthen in singular, one instance. It did not matter if that was pure luck or huge support standing behind the unit – as long as it did better than command expected and polital figures noticed, division was upgraded to Guards standard immediately, though nothing else really followed along. They weere in fact just typical infantry divisions.
THIS DIVISION DEPLOYS IN ANY OF TWO SOVIET ENTRY ZONES AT RANDOM DAY 6-9 [DAILY CHANCE: 40%]
BUT IT MUST DEPLOY TOGETHER WITH ENTIRE CORPS (IF ONE UNIT OF A CORPS WAS DEPLOYED IN A ZONE, THE REST MUST FOLLOW)
ONLY ONE DIVISION PER DAY FROM ONE CORPS CAN DEPLOY
