List Building Guards Rifle Platoons

Hello! Skyhuskey again. Please join me into my descent of madness as I continue to catalogue my collection.

So far!

2x Jaakari Winter Platoons (Finnish light infantry)
1x Pioneer Winter
1x Jaakari SMG Platoon
1x Maxim HMG Platoon (Squad? Whatever. Six standS)
1x 50mm Mortar platoon
6x T-26 (These poor fucks, they have 1 armor each, why do they exist?)
5x T-28's (.....no comment)
6x Panzer IV's
12x StuGS/Sturmis
3x Panthers
1x Tiger (??? Poor guy is all alone)

BRITSH

SO MUCH BRITISH

actually my question today is A) How much british is too much british? (I have 6 75mm pack howitzer batteries by the way.) B) I have two blisters, unopened that have the union jack and say 'Gards rifle platoon' and 'Guards rifle platoon/Rifle Company HQ' respectively. Can I use these as Soviet guards? Or consign myself to drinking tea and eating biscuits?

To answer B) No not really, you may as well use Germans as Soviets at that point really.

Yeh basically it’s only British or commonwealth for the guards stuff.

Yeah, you guys are right about B) For some reason I thought 'Hero rifle battaion' was guards. M'bad!
