Bolt Action | Soviet Assault Engineers Squad | 28mm Metal Unit

Shortages meant that Soviet formations were sparsely served when it came to transport and rear-echelon support. Pioneer detachments were a notable exception. Their expertise in bridge-building, demolitions, fortification construction, and minefield placement and clearance was too essential to do without.

Assault engineers were specialists tasked with eliminating enemy strongpoints during an advance and clearing obstacles to allow tank units to break through. This extremely dangerous work had a high casualty rate, and these engineers were sometimes equipped with SN-42 body armour to give them a fighting chance.

Models supplied unassembled and unpainted.
