Editing SMG Company (section)

==Late War==
The SMG Company is unique among Soviet infantry in that it doesn't have its own company, but is available as a support unit in almost every formation in the game. Like most Soviet units it comes in 2 flavors: Spam and survivors guilt. 

The Hero SMG company is an absolutely tiny unit (by soviet standards) at only 7 regular stands and a commissar. This means they play very different from the regular company, but are much more capable. Where the regular company is a sledgehammer that you throw in the enemies face to overwhelm a position with SMG fire and assault, the Hero SMG company is a bit more conventional, better for cleaning up after a couple turns of bombardment or capturing enemy tanks in assault. Their smaller numbers and size mean they can ride on the smaller hero tank companies and take up fewer points, but their veteran rating and ''2+ assault'' make them more flexible, even if they don't have the numbers to sustain casualties. Consider using the Tankodesantniki card and pairing them up with IS-2s to get to the bad guys faster.
