Do you want to know or are you making a statement?

I Want to know. I was thinking about adding a unit that allows infiltration. I know you have used it in the past.

The Soviet infiltration rule allows the soviet player a spearhead move of up to 16" if he is the attacker during the recon phase. To do it he must be the attacker, a have Strelkovy(recon) or Spetsnaz platoon , and be playing a mission where the defender has prepared positions. To carry out the mission he does his move caring out terrain checks(like bog checks) but ignoreing movement costs, a slow Tank can move 16". If he ends his move with his entire force hidden or concealed or more than 16" out of line of sight from the enemy and more than 8" from the enemy he rolls a die on a 1-5 the move is a success and the enemy did not notice. If he is with is in line of sight closer than 16" and/or roles 6 the enemy player gets the first turn
Faults
It is often difficult to set up
1) no concealing terrain to hide in
2) you are not the attacker
3) extra points to buy Strelkovy or Spetsnaz
4) defender does not get a prepared postions
5) always fails if you roll a 6 like I did against Steve long ago.
Advantages
When it works it usually works very well
Even if there is no concealing terrain you can give up the first turn and move units 16" into enemy territory and be 8+ away from the enemy.
units that can infiltrate
A Spetznaz Platoon is an Infiltration Platoon. They may infiltrate a Tankovy Company, Gvardeyskiy Tankovy Company, Inomarochnikiy Tankovy Company, Motostrelkovy Company, Tank-rider Company, Motostrelkovy Submachine-gun Company, or Razvedki Platoon. See the Infiltration rules on page 143.
A Strelkovy Scout Platoon is an Infiltration Platoon. They may infiltrate a Strelkovy Company or Subnachine-gun Company, see the Infiltration rules on page 143.
hope this is helpful

I've had crazy good luck using this rule in a LW Tankovy list... Use a decoy tank company to pull forward a big horde of Tankovy and the first strike can be devastating. However, I've also had it go horribly wrong so your mileage may vary...
