At least, not the way we think of it. Hitler never rose to power and threatened all of
Europe - something more terrible happened: Joseph Stalin.
The Soviet empire is storming into Europe. Towns are falling
and countries collapsing before the overwhelming might of the Soviet forces. Does anyone
stand a chance, or will the red storm engulf all of Europe?
A playable demo of this real-time strategy classic from
Westwood Studios.
