Storm Group
"The heavy casualties, the constant retreat, the shortage of food and munitions, the difficulty of receiving reinforcements... all this had a very bad effect on morale. Many longed to get across the Volga, to escape the hell of Stalingrad."
- – Vasily Chuikov
The Soviet storm group, also known as Shturmovye Gruppy is a unit in the Soviet Forces for Flames of War. Armed with sub-machine guns, Anti-Tank rifles, rocket launchers, grenades and heavy machine guns, these men would be tasked with taking on and clearing heavily defended buildings in the clusterfucks to end all clusterfucks known as Stalingrad, Leningrad, and Berlin.
