Alright all you Russian nuts, I need your help on this one. I have a friend who is a potential member and she would be interested in joining on as a russian sniper (the only combat position I could remember for a woman) Any resources or links you could give me would be great. She should be registering a profile today or tomorrow so you may see someone new introducing themselves.
Also, if anyone knows of any other female, combat roles please mention that.
Thanks,

I believe that Russian women fought side by side with the men. All equal in a Communist society. I have seen pictures of Russian female grunts, as well as Russian female officers.

Actually, some german females fought on the Russian front in February, 1945. In a desparate attempt to push back the russians, many women fought. There were also some Italian females that fought in the Decima mas, here is a link of some uniforms. A bit overpriced, but nevertheless a good reference... www.militariacollection.com/ausiliarieRSI.htmEDIT: Also, many russian females voluntarily enlisted to defend their homeland. (If you see the movie, "Enemy At the gates," there are more than one female noted in that movie)

Oh, if you need info on uniforms, I know I saw a picture with a woman wearing amoeba camo. I think it was on the ostfront website.

Though they can be accurate on some things, most of the time they are not. Research the topic thouroghly. Females did fight for the Russians.

Obviously French resistance! Isolated donut dolly, (Red Cross server) Behind the lines USO entertainer (Marlene Dietrich was briefly in danger of capture during the Battle of the Bulge) so if someone of that stature came close anything is possible. Partisan is a real possibility in many theaters. As far as direct combat role the Russian army seemed to be the most appropraiet as women soldiers were actually fairly commonplace. Infantry and Armored units.

I remember one paricular instance I read about a Russian woman's husband was killed early in the war and she found out about a year later. She then raised the funks to BUY her own T34 and take it into battle as a driver, Evidently she was a phenomonal driver and often used to exit the tank in the middle of battles to make repairs! To bad I can't remember the womans name =/
So a female Ruskie impression DEFINATELY is not limited to a sniper.

Only difference is that Alec Baldwin is a pompus, spoiled, left wing liberal actor, Schmitty is an airsoft genius. Perhaps it's more complimentary to say that Alec Baldwin looks like Schmitty. ;D

haha...The resemblance has been remarked upon before.
He doesn't play too often. I think he's happy with his DPM since it goes with his military lightweight landrover in the background. We where both born in England hence our allegiance to the queen. ;D
Anyway.. the main point of the photo was to show my wifes Russian impression, She doesn't play very often but it was a good excuse for me to make the PPSH. I insisted she go WWII and a Russian seemed most appropriate for the reasons mentioned in this thread. Most of her uniform is post war but identical to WWII era. Other than the weapons, Soviet impressions are pretty cheap and easy to put together.
