BA-20 Armoured Car (x2)
(SU303)
includes two BA-20 Armoured Cars & two Vehicle Commander figures.
Throughout the 1930s, the Soviets developed a number of armoured cars using conventional vehicle chassis that were modified to cope with the extra weight of the armoured hull. However, even with modification, the capabilities of these chassis were being pushed to their limits.
It wasn’t until the availability of the GAZ-M1 chassis that the concept of the BA-20 armoured car could be realised.
The BA-20 served the Red Army from 1936 and was the most abundant armoured car in service during the years leading up to the Second World War. First seeing combat against the Japanese during the Nomonhan Incident, it continued to serve the Red Army during the invasion of Poland; against the Finns during the Winter War and against the Germans during the opening stages of the Great Patriotic War.

Armoured cars are used in large numbers by the Red Army, usually as wheeled tanks. The Mongolians also use them in much the same way as the Red Army.
If they are used to do any scouting it is in the un-subtle Red Army method of simply driving until engaged by the enemy, with the sound of the fighting alerting the commander to the presence of an enemy unit.
