Soviet Naval Brigade Veteran Squad

As the Soviet Navy was largely confined to port, many sailors were deployed as infantry to the front lines, often still in their black naval uniforms with the distinctive cap and striped “telnyashka” undershirt.

Numerous specialized naval infantry units were formed: forty brigades and five regiments. They earned a reputation for tenacity and daring in both defensive battles and landing operations on the Baltic and Black Sea coasts. Thanks to their prior military experience and strong esprit de corps, they were among the best troops available to Soviet commanders. This is true also in the Bolt Action tabletop game, where Naval Brigade units are part of the Hammer & Sickle army’s special rules and bring the always useful ‘Tough Fighters’ rule. These veterans are well-equipped with a variety of submachine guns, perfect for raining down a devastating hail of bullets at close range.

German troops dubbed the naval infantry the "Black Death" due to their black or dark blue uniforms and fearsome reputation—a well-deserved moniker!
