## About This Content
Set in a new theater of war, this new expansion for Order of Battle WW2 puts
the player in charge of the Soviet army. Starting with the fight against the
Imperial Japan, players will get transferred to Europe in 1939. Red Star
covers the battles of the Red Army in the years 1938-41.

The game starts with the Battle of Lake Khasan (July 29, 1938 – August 11,
1938), the attempted military incursion by the Japanese from Manchukuo, into
territory claimed by the Soviet Union. It continues with the conflict of
Khalkhin Gol, the decisive battle of the undeclared Soviet-Japanese Border
War. Repel the Japanese and expel them from Mongolia!

Then, get transferred to Europe and participate in the Soviet invasion of
Poland (as result of the so-called non-agression pact with Germany). and win
the FInnish forces moving your steps in the gelid Winter War!

The last stage of the DLC from summer 1941 deals with the German invasion of
the USSR and ends with the battle of Moscow in Dec. 1941.

## FEATURES

Added a number of Soviet units in use mainly in those early years up to 1940
(including BT-7A support tanks, KV-1 m1940 heavy tanks, both new towed and
self-propelled artillery units, two truck-mounted light anti-air units, and
R-10 and Su-2 tactical bombers).

If the player manages to complete certain objectives he can unlock a number of
new Soviet commanders, including prominent military leaders like Zhukov.

Specialisations have been adapted too for the Soviet side, for example to give
the player access to Guards infantry units, to a specific commander, or to
allow for more experienced units or additional Command Points for unit
deployment.
