    Some points I find…

    Max squads give you a reroll on failed order checks

    A couple of LMGs in a unit give you extra firepower for a static firebase (I tend to take 2 units of guards each with 2 LMGs)

    Move 2 or 3 of the SMG guys from one unit to the other to run with the officer. Then turn the smaller unit in to tank riders (same cost as regular SMG guys 🙂 )to jump on the T34 – its a nice way of getting them up field quickly.

    I find a Zis 3 a must as it gives you another indirect fire weapon & another AT gun (you are a bit light having just the 1 light and 1 heavy AT both on vehicles… they dont need to kill you tank to stop it shooting their vehicles)
