Soviet Partisan Detachment

Intelligence Briefing for use with the Raid Missions

• a Company HQ, and
• two to five Partisan Platoons

Weapons Platoons available to a Partisan Otryadi are:

• Machine-gun Platoons
• Mortar Platoons

Support Platoon Available to a Partisan Otryadi are:

• a Regiment Gun Platoon
• a Anti-tank Platoon
• a Scout Platoon
• a Light Armoured Car Company

You can have one Support Platoon attached to your Partisan Otryadi for each Partisan Platoon
you are fielding.

Motivation and Experience

Soviet Partisans are poorly trained irregular troops, while some are former Red Army and NKVD
soldiers; others are untrained workers, peasants and communist party members. A Partisan
Otryadi is Confident Conscript.

The platoons of an Partisan Otryandi are an exception to the Centralised Control special rule.
They operate as normal platoons during raid missions.

Additional Special Rules

Local Knowledge: Partisans are fighting for the defence of Mother Russia and know their local
area well. Light equipment and knowledge of local tracks and paths are taken full advantage
of when raiding and allow them to rapidly move about the country-side.

Partisan Company HQ, Partisan Platoons and weapons platoons can move at the double through
Difficult Going, except if mounted on horses.

Scout Platoons are very tough and can launch an attack against the enemy from almost any-where. To represent this,
Soviet scout platoons follow the Scouts—Infiltrators rule.
A Scout Platoon is rated as Fearless Veteran.
Scout Platoons are reconnaissance platoons and may use the Reconnaissance rules.
