Well, the U.S. has the 29th ID.

The Brits have the 6th AB.

Germany has the Ghost Division, the 7th Panzer...

Just wondering about a possible inclusion for the Red Army...?

Maybe...

Sadly, no division card comes with the Furry Bear.

Any ideas for home-grown cards?

Special Division cards are a bit harder to do for the Soviets as their units where not kept together like other countries even Guard units where disbanded at times.

Now that you mention it, that is true. I do not really know any famous Soviet formation.

Indeed. The basest unit I could think of would be the 5th Guards Tank Army, halting the SS-Panzerkorps at Kursk.

right and that tank army lost 1,000 + tanks in doing so. Soviet divisions where rarely famous but Armies where like the 62nd or the 1st shock
