It was the 22nd of June 1941 when the German armies marched into the Motherland, the Soviets fought hard to try and stop them. Millions would be left wounded, captured or killed.


Our comrades... It feels strange to call them as such, not so long ago we were sworn enemies. Our comrades on the western front have lost hold of London and with that the southern parts of England. Our front is stable for now, but the Germans are with more and better armed. We will fight them no matter what, but if we do not regain our courage, we will never be able to hold them off.


The Germans have continued to push into our lands. The lines between Istanbul and the rest of our grounds have been cut. The Americans on the other side of the world are having the same set-back as we do. Germany is strong, they seem unbreakable. Yet every enemy has it's weakness. It's time for us to find theirs...


Flames everywhere, explosions from all directions. The stream of bullets flying over us is endless. We tried to get out, retreat to the east. We were too late. The Germans have surrounded the city of Warsaw completely. We will try to hold them off for as long as we can, but it does not seem we will be able to hold them. Where are our reinforcements?

After the battle of Dunkirk, all factions took a step back, in anticipation of further escalation. The Americans have been steadily bringing troops overseas into England to assist their endangered allies. The Germans have built new defences in France and amassed their forces in eastern Germany, to the growing dismay of Soviet generals.

The quickly mounting tension erupted into a full-blown invasion a few weeks ago, as the German troops heard the code words “Dortmund” and “Düsseldorf” over the radio: Operation Barbarossa was set in motion! Tens of thousands of tanks, infantry and other equipment simultaneously advanced into Poland, with Moscow as their final destination.

Still struggling to recover from the massive loss of men and equipment it suffered during the initial assault, the Red Army is nevertheless standing its ground against brutal odds. The Soviet leaders have now called upon every man, woman and child to contribute to the war effort! From the West to the Far East, soldiers are being drafted to fight for the Motherland. Trains are running back and forth through the entire country; will the reinforcements arrive in time?


If you are a Soviet General, use your additional resources wisely, fight against 2 strong enemy forces and gather your soldiers to victory!

If you are a German General, use the might of the German war machine to your advantage. Your enormous stockpile to conquer the rest of Europe!

If you are an American General, strategise with your allies and your troops to defeat the Enemies!

Each faction has its own advantages and challenges in the war, only one can prevail. Join the battlefield and pick your strategy to decide who will rule Europe!


For the duration of this event* all soldiers participating in the WAR effort will get the following rewards:

• 2 x Soldier rank experience bonus on top of the underdog bonus
  
• Increased XP multiplier for the War Victory ribbon x10 (only for stats that require war victory)
  
• Increased XP multiplier for the Battle ribbon x3 (only for stats that require battle victory, for both soldiers and commanders)
  
• These rewards are valid for both soldiers (winning battles by combat) and commanders (winning battles by sending ATs)
  

Remember, the War Victory ribbon unlocks extra command points for commanders (ability to deploy more ATs) and the Battle ribbon unlocks the ‘Charismatic Leader’ combat badge that boosts morale on assault teams when worn by the commander.
