June 23rd, 1944 Our summer offensive has began! It is time now to drive the Germans out of Russian lands and into Poland itself. As part of the 5th Guards Tank Army, your mission is to sieze the hills and crossroads outside the town of Orsha. Latest intellegience reports indicate that the German 43rd Infantry Division is dug in on both banks of the Drut River. They may have some armor and air support, so be careful.
