Komrades, to Arms! The Winter Offensive is Here!
Brothers, our homeland is being raped by the fascist dogs! We have fought them through the summer and into the fall...
Our older tanks are being outgunned by the Pazer formations...
but they have taken their toll... and now the new formations are on their way. The 1st of the Guards tank armees will be arriving to the front.
They have now reached the gates of Moscow, Stalin himself had his armoured train ready to leave for the Urals when things got bad.
But when word of the first vistories from the winter offensives came in, he ordered his train to stand down. The Germans had advanced beyong their defensive lines and were caught in the winter snow.
Vasily Kleshnikov, commanding the defense of Moskva, decided at this time to strike! Waves of Guardsmen, followed by our gallent tankers in their outdated machines advanced against the stranded fascists. Reports of major victories came in first from the outskirts of the city. Entire German Armee Gruppen have been smashed!
The Panzers are burning!
Just then, reports came in front the 1st and 2nd Ukrainian Fronts. The seige of Stalingrad had also been smashed, and scores of German armour had been knocked out in and around Kharkov and Kiev. Defensive positions in these areas were then reported to have been fortified against further assaults.
In the North, the Seige of Leningrad has also been releived! German naval units bombarding the city have been sunk, and the artillery and tanks strangling the inhabitants have been destroyed. Partisans in the area, under the orders of their Red Army attachés, have destroyed the roads in this area, making a return to the seige increasingly difficult for the Huns.
All in all, this month has seen what maybe a deathblow to the German military. Their momentum has been halted, and they shall advance no further into the Soviet Union. This shall by time for our Allies to build up and finally start a Second Frontâ„¢.
Now is the hour to break the back of the bloodthirsty fascist dogs! The Red Army will not collapse! We shall hold our line here, and push the fight into Germany herself. From this point on, The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is on the offensive! For the Motherland! Kill, Kill, Kill!!!

Not so fast my bolshevik friend
It appear we got sidetracked into the wrong game again, anzac mixed up the files, so we are now back with hiro mordheim rather than Hiro henrik.

Seriously though, I haven't even had me any pc time this entire week. Been dead dog tired from workin my new job and havent had any relaxation time at all. Not to mention that when I Dled this game (with Case's turn as the Germans rather than the phantom player of before) I had alot harder time. Cheers to Case as his turn is going to give me trouble. I am sleepy now, so I shall play her in the morn, gonna take me awhile for this one. Thanks alot Nick

This should get interesting when it starts moving again
One thing, FMK: Can I suggest just a little further tweaking to make the Chinese playable in this pbem version of 2194 Days of yours? They had an important role in the war, tying down practically the whole Japanese land army, and having their fair share of impressive victories and campaigns. I think they would be very interesting to have as a human controlled option.
I'd play them. What more reason do you need?
