44-ya Gvard. Strelkovy

44-ya Gvard. Strelkovy is a Soviet B-rated Infantry division in Steel Division II. Part of the 65th Army which led the Bobryusk offensive, the 44th Guards Rifle Division was reinforced with a tank brigade from the 1st Guards Tank Corps before the start of operation Bagration.

As a result, this division fields an unusual combination of infantry division equipment with state-of-the-art T-34/85’s, which take up the place of the older tank models typically found in independent brigades. This formation can also count on the formidable support of a SU-152 heavy assault guns regiment, and a handful of SU-76 self-propelled guns.

The 44th Guards Rifle Division is close to a standard Soviet rifle division, avoiding some of the pitfalls of the more exotic formations, and making it a well-balanced choice to bring to the battlefield.
