Hungarian Weekend
Commanders!
For this weekend, we’ve prepared a special event in celebration of a Hungarian October 23 holiday, celebrating an anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.
In 1956, following several years of communist terror and economic decline (an inevitable result of a combination of war reparations and poor planning), the citizens of Hungary just had enough, resulting in several months of unrest and culminating in a major battle against the Soviet occupants. In the end, the revolution was mercilessly crushed by the Soviets in November 1956, but paid dearly for it with hundreds of troops dead and thousands wounded. On the Hungarian side, several thousand freedom fighters and civilians both were killed with brutal tactics of the Soviets unleashed against the population of Budapest.
Interestingly enough, the bill for the Soviet intervention would not only come in lives and destroyed weaponry. During the fighting, some brave Hungarian patriots captured a T-54A medium tank, got it running and delivered it to the British embassy in Budapest. This gave the British the chance to examine the vehicle closely, accelerating the development of the famous Royal Ordnance 105mm L7 gun and being one of the sparks that ignited the fires of an arms race that would three decades later bankrupt the Soviet Union. It is the bravery of these men who fought against incredible odds that we care celebrating today.
The following bonuses will be active between October 23 and October 26, 2020 (16:00 CEST):
But, more importantly, we have prepared a special gift for you, full of Hungarian-themed assets and available during the same period of time. This gift contains:
You can read more about the skin and camouflage in our dedicated article. The gift is now available on MY.GAMES Market.
We hope you will enjoy it and, as always:
See you on the battlefield!
