Za Rodinu! Za Stalina! Ura!!
What, how and why ?
At first WW 2 was these things :
(1) May ’40 : the invasion by the (evil) Germans
(2) Battle of Britain
(3) D-Day
That kind of changed when a flight simulator called IL2 Sturmovik was released.
Instead of Spitfires and P51’s there were Soviet aircraft of all shapes and sizes, including the IL2 Sturmovik.
It was effectively my introduction to the eastern front of WW2.
So when I discovered Flames of War … Soviets it was.
Of course it helps that their camouflage is either all green or white and that they don’t appear to have any complex marking scheme for their units like the British 😉
Anyways … enough talk.
