Typhoon at the Kremlin

Introduction:  The Battle of Moscow saw the Germans get within 18 miles of Moscow by December 5th, but the Soviet counter offensive pushed them back to the west about 150 miles by February 1st. Key to the Soviet victory was troops transferred from the far east equipped with T34-OT flame flame throwing tanks that literally burned through the NAZI Zombie Shock troopers. Add to this the fact that their zombies didn't fair well in the cold and the Germans found themselves well over extended.

The Players are members of the 8th Guards tank division and are considered such heroes that Stalin has invited them to dinner and to offer them lighter duty as a reward for proving themselves to be the cream of soviet manhood.
