This man was all too eager to end the war and negotiate peace with the Allies. Stalin, who was found dead in his office nearing the end of the war, left a letter behind designating his successor, Premier Cherdenko. But, for one reason or another, the new Allied Nations would not go any further. In a game of cat and mouse, the Soviet assault was first halted, then pushed back all the way to the original borders. Almost literally out of the blue, new tank designs in blue steel appeared, infantry divisions who would have fought each other 2 years ago if necessary stood together and ambushes surprised the formerly victory-sure Soviets.
At that time, the European leaders had already come up with a plan. The mechanised counter-assault proved more successful than expected, and the German border could be held long enough for the European leaders to hold a conference and find a solution.įor years, Poland and Germany were entrenched in brutal warfare, until it seemed all of Europe would fall. Still limited to a standing army of 100,000 men and no heavy weaponry or strong naval forces allowed, the Germans unveiled their trump card - their own tanks. With Poland gone, the next target was the reborn Kaiserreich, better known as Germany. With weak infantry weapons without anti-vehicle support, ancient propeller planes from the early days of World War I, and antiquated strategies like bunker lines, the Polish proved to be no match against the red iron of Stalin's Red Army. While the European states remained over the recent years in a state of petty international conflict and mistrust, Stalin attacked the unsuspecting Polish and it took about two months to fully conquer the entire country. On October 31st, 1949, Soviet tanks rolled over the Union's borders directly into Polish territory. Under the influence of mysterious advisers who continually drugged him to affect his mental health and drove him from his prior socialism in one-nation policies, he came to believe that the West was preparing an imminent assault on the motherland, and with extensive propaganda and selective usage of facts, the Soviet people came to believe this was true. Stalin's goal was to recreate and modernize the Russian country, now internationally known as the Soviet Union. In 1924, a man known both for rebuilding the country and mass-murder, Joseph Stalin, became the "General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union". Very slow, direct to a fault, little in the way of alternate tactics, tendency to damage self.īackground The Union under Joseph Stalin Soviet Union Diplomatic Relations Powerful tanks and land vehicles, robust defensive lines, a tank for every situation. "Love the People, Love the Party, Love Communism!" Despite this, the Soviet Union still has some tricks up its sleeves, and new technological developments combined with huge amounts of heavy armour and walker units have cemented their mastery of land combat.
Heavy losses of men and material have hit them hard, not to mention the mysterious disappearance of their top scientist and the bizarre flight of Premier Cherdenko into the endless depths of space they are beginning to feel the weight of several years of fighting.įorced to revert to some older technology to fill the gaps, the Soviet Union has desperately sued for peace, at least for the time being. The Soviet Union took a beating in the later stages of the Third World War, unable to keep control of France, Italy, the Low Countries and much of Germany.
