Based and organised for CD3 (on scant research), Not sure if the Regt HQ is supposed to have a NKVD unit attached to it or not, so if anyone knows, please comment. All units are SMG armed only, unless otherwise stated, which means on the tabletop most units have a range of only 5'' or 250 mts but a rate of fire of x2

The Regiment. As usual photos reveal the odd touch up needed here or there but they are otherwise finished. The figures are a reasonable mix. It's a pity the Zvezda paratroop, recon and engineer sets were not big box versions.
