Russian flame throwers

Martin are these too new for use as the foot flame teams in SCW?

I used German WW1 flamethrower men with Isabellina (sp?) Heads for my SFL teams.

Good question John. I really do not know. Which is good enough reason to claim they are "just fine"...... maybe someone knows w better.  Apparently the legion used then too. I expect legion kit would come from France???

I chose German flamethrowers Martin due to the support to the Nationalists by the Condor Legion, and Ospreys tank book says the Germans replaced a machine gun on a PZ1 with a man portable set I.e. they had taken some to Spain. Regards.

If you go past the combat record you'll find a section on flamethrowers in Spain. It says Germany via the Condor Legion supplied the Nationalists.

Fourtunatly only a couple of lists in the rules include F/T teams, Italians and Spanish foreign legion, so not to big a problem.
