Flames Of War - Soviet Starter Force: T-34 Tank Battalion

A devastating bombardment was still hammering the enemy on the other side of the forest, Dmitry could swear he saw clods of soil landing near his battalion’s position, while the smoke wafted through the stunted trees at the field’s edge. While the heavy guns continued to fire, Dmitry’s Major ran over from the Colonel’s half-track, shouting and waved for immediate action, “Into the woods! Over the ridge and catch the enemy with their pants down!”

Everyone in the unit set themselves into motion, quickly clearing the tank for combat and moving as one to shift their agile beasts through the trees and brush towards their next objective.

Over the past week his battalion had thinned down from a fat waddling sow of 31 tanks to the current thin and experienced hunting dog of 12 T-34/85s. They had already known their tanks, but now they had a greater understanding of their fascist opponents andhow to use terrain and surprise to their advantage. They had the skill to know what wasted tanks fruitlessly and what drove home body blows to the under-prepared enemy. His friends in the other crews shared combat experiences, maintenance hints, and swapped equipment and spoils until they each had exactly what they needed and not one thing more.

With strong weapons like their T-34/85, combined with the fury of the Soviet soldier and increased experience with the savagery and skills of modern combat, he knew there was no chance for the Fascist dogs to hide from the Soviet war machine. He was proud to be part of the effort, he would make mama Privalov proud of her last son.
