Good force structure. How about infantry?

First item in the list! 9 companies of 9 stands each.

I do need more. Heavy mortars, SMGs, Scouts.....

Sorry, my eyes focused on the tanks. I'm short infantry, for most of my forces so that is what I need to work on real soon.

I have a lot of loose painted infantry, I just need to get it based, marked, and organized. then I'll need to see what troops I'm still missing....

MY Russians are definitely armour heavy, need a couple more (at least) infantry battalions: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByA87L ... sp=sharing

It is easy to focus on the tanks but it is important to remember most WWII units were infantry.

Yup. I remember reading once that on average a mile of frontage had 1000 infantry and two tanks or some crazy ratio like that.

I'll end up with around 125 stands of infantry when all is said and done, so I think I'm covered. And in this scale they are good from 1939 to 1945 (heck I plan to use them for 1985!).

But the tanks, well, a KV-2 would never be mistaken for an IS-II!
