Red Victory

The largest military offensive in history has ground to a halt and it's time for the Red Army to press the German Army back towards the Fatherland. The German 6th Army has surrendered at Stalingrad and the Russians have a renewed fighting spirit. It will take another 2 1/2 years to beat them into submission, all the way to the inner city of Berlin, but in the end the German forces capitulate.

No blitzkriegs here -just some heavy metal.

Can you stop the Red Tide from engulfing the Reich? Or can you sweep over your foes with overwhelming numbers better than the historical Russian commanders did?
