Russian buildings

[Dominic 'Dragon' Cassidy]

I was just thinking about what the buildings for the russians could be, and what about a sort of mobile command base like the British in OF, it would make sence since the amount of moving about the Russians made when advancing in to Germany. Not sure about the rest of their buildings but that could be for the command base.
Anyone else got ideas for the buildings?

Yer i am still trying to look into the Rus buildings, i was thinking about mainly doing barns and stuff and maybe some new bridges.

Do you want me to find you find some stuff and pictures? If so I can do it after church.

That would be awesome

Right here we go:

Barracks you could call it a Bunkhouse as that's basically what they are.

For the Vehicle Depot you could have a small factory complex like building however there is a problem here as there isn't really such a thing as a small factory in the USSR.

For the Tank Depot however you could have a huge factory and call it a Tractor Factory like the ones in Stalingrad and you could even have it as a feature that all vehicles are made here.

For the HQ I'm thinking like this:



you could simply call it the HQ.

For the Armoury you could have a small workshop like building or here's an interesting idea a truck for there was a truck with a battlefield workshop in the back.

Barbed wire is simply just barbed wire.

For the medic thingy you could have a patrol tent with a white square with red cross on either side.

Tank traps the same.

Bunkers I'm not sure as all the bunkers I find there is no place to put anything on ie. no machine guns, repair, heal.

What I really need is for you to specify to you want the mobile look of the Allies or the permeanant look of the Axis before I do hard picture hunting.

Yeah I think most of the Russian buildings should look more of Sheds and Barns... or if its an urban map maybe just some factory plants and such..

[Lone Commissar]

The question is do want to make it look mobile or defensive?

Depends, I think that if you are covering the first bit of the War, they were deffensive. But if its thethe later stage when they were advancing very quickly they should be more offensive. So I have no Idea how you would do that :p

[Lone Commissar]

You wouldn't and can't.

[UeArtemis]

I think
USSR must have half-underground buildings like "Zemlyanka".

[Soviet_Marine]

Maybe some building must be "defensive" and some -  "mobile" ?

No, really, Red army don't have such buildings as front line HQ in 1943-1945. Coz its looked very stupid, and Red army officers wasn't so stupid to place a lot of flags and Stalin's pictures on it, to make a good target for bombers. ("Hey you, in Stuka! We are here! )

Hq - Like US HQ, but with red banner on it 
Basic Barracks(us "Barracks" & German Wermacht quarters) - Simple square tent.
Improved Barracks ( US weapon support center & German Krieg Barracks) - wooden house, fortified with sandbags etc. etc.
Nice idea about Armory, Vehicle/tank depot!

about bunkers.
I have a very  stupid idea for you - make the famous Soviet "Rouble and 50" pillbox as a MG-nest.
aid station - "Zemlyanka".

The Russians had to set up almost all barracks, armories, and other infantry related buildings in captured houses. The  large pictures of Stalin were used as propaganda and to discourage the Germans from trying to take the buildings from them. Vehicles were usually built before the battles in western Russia and called in for reinforcements, and armoured divisions had them on hand always. Vehicles would probably be best left a support option.

there is a civilian building on a picture.

[Lone Commissar]

I know it's a civilian building I'm not a total prat I'm thinking urban map here.

Pardon?
How did that work?
Were the Pictures of Stalin imbued with Psychic Energy, which when a German Soldier approached caused it to emanate Psychic waves of "go away"? 
Or maybe the Russians airdropped leaflets over the German lines with the words "Soviet Brothel-Now Open for Business-come meet Stalina-Gorgeous Russian Model!!"
