[h3][/h3][h3]Pushing forward![/h3]
It may not go too quickly, but with the cover of a mighty tank, these soviet soldiers are slowly pushing the front. Will they be able to win their assault? Thank you yangtuoxiong for leaving this image on steam!



[h3]Casualties[/h3]
Also captured by steam user yangtuoxiong. Not every push can be succesfull and they are almost never without losses. While the other tanks have already moved forward, these fallen warriors are left burning behind them.
