For hundreds of millions of citizens of the Sino-Soviet Union, Iosef Stalin is the Supreme Leader, whose wisdom will guide them to victory. For the enemies of the SSU, the name means death. Many of the SSU’s early heavy tanks were named after Kliment Voroshilov, the Defence Commissar. When it was time for a new and improved series, who better to name it...

Special men with special missions need special equipment. The KV-47K (TSH - Tropicheskiy Shagokhod or ‘Tropical Walker’), codenamed ‘Aleksei’ is the perfect example of this maxim, as it was developed specifically for Spetsnaz units. Thanks to the walker being open-topped, its pilot suffers much less from the heat and has a better view and understanding of...
Another tropical variation based upon the classic KV47 series, the L model, or Anatoly, mounts two very efficient Tesla guns, derived from the Red Lightning support weapon. The Anatoly’s capacitors allow it to fire both Tesla weapons in rapid succession, but this leaves it defenceless until the capacitors recharge. Being a Tesla weapon, it incapacitates...
