Of course,you've noted that Russia is given a terrible amount of weapons and technologies.Well,many 
of those that are seriously interested in the WWII history know that Stalin’s Red Army had the first 
and the only (by that time) Diesel-powered heavy tanks (e.g. in the 40 to 60 tonne range) armed 
with the heaviest guns of that time and blinded with anti-projectile armour.Some also know that the 
strategical bomber that never flew a military mission,the TB-7,could fly at a 15000 m altitude.Others 
know that Stalin had prepared 5 paradropping corps (a very weak weapon when used to defend,but 
devastating when used to fulfil its role).But only few can imagine the real strength of the First 
Strategical Echelon,compound of a total of 170 divisions or 16 armies, featuring 5 paradropping 
corps,one marine corp,an unknown number of alpine troops,aviation,air defence divisions,etc.There also 
were three special invasion armies with a doubled number of armour,compound of six (instead of the 
usual three) corps,(two mechanized,one cavalry and three infantry formations) each of those armies 
completed with 2350 tanks,698 APC,4000 mortars and cannons,250000 soldiers plus air divisions 
with hundreds of Yak-1,M&G-3,Il-2 and Pe-2 fighters.At the other side of the border,Heinz 
Guderian had only 3350 light and medium tanks.Most of them weren’t armed with cannons that could 
match the Russian (for example, a KV-2 primary weapon’s calibre was 152 mm).
The reason of Russian defeat was simple-all the Red Army’s personnel was taught to attack,not to 
defend.Even the fighter pilots were trained to attack ground targets.Besides,there was no defensive 
armament. And the greatest mistake was the absence of the Soviet Union territory topographic maps.
So,if the soviet military power was trained to attack,which was the reason to use it in a defensive 
war?The answer is simple: it had to crush the Nazi armies in an astonishing,fast blietzkrieg,when 
enemy’s aviation and armour are destroyed long before the hostile forces realize they’re under 
attack.Then,after the Third Reich is chewed into pieces and spit out of the military bulldog’s 
mouth,the Soviet troops would start “liberating“ Europe.That was the communists’ aim-the world 
revolution,no matter how it looks and how much blood is shed.And that’s why communist historians 
want to hide the real facts.

I wish to thank Louis Luciani,Michael D. McCart,Robert Reese and all at the Rocky Mountain 
Civ2 page for supplying the units’ graphics,Steven Strayer for his Fascist patch and Ju87 
Stukfleugzeug sound file.A very big “thank you” should be said to Victor Souvorov (Vladimir 
Rezoun) for his historical investigation and his devotion to the Truth and inspiring me to write this 
scenario.
