Editing Irregular Militia Group (section)

==In Team Yankee==
Irregular Militia Groups are a bit odd for American (and Canadian) lists. Their stats are near identical to the standard Soviet Infantryman. They do have the option to take Mortars, if that is your thing. They also have Pick Up Trucks for transport, for all that is worth. All in all, they are cheap troops. So why take them at all?
Well, that's where the rule Resistance comes into play. They aren't deployed normally, but rather during the reserves part of the starting step. With the right roll, these guys come in as if from ambush in either No Man's Land or in the Opposing Deployment Zone. What's more, they don't count against your units held in reserve. Makes them a neat little unit to send in after Artillery or Anti-Air. The only real problem is they can't be deployed next to objectives.  You also only get two of the units to use. Their viability on the field is probably situational at best, but that may change once the book drops.
