3-ya Gvard. Mechanizi. Korpus

3-ya Gvard. Mechanizi. Korpus is a Soviet division in Steel Division II. The 3rd Guards Mechanized Corps was among one of the first units to find its way across the Berezina river during Bagration, linking with partisans which had held key bridges.

While its recon troops use lend-lease American half-tracks of British universal carriers, ‘mechanized’ is a misnomer as the Soviets transported troops mostly in trucks. This division’s strong infantry is augmented with partisan units acting as light infantry or scouts, backed up by Valentine tanks and Emcha’s (lend-lease M4A2 Shermans).

The 3rd Guards Mechanized Corps features weak AA defenses, a fate shared with other Soviet mobile troops, but can count on strong air support and is otherwise a well-rounded division.
