This is Eric Bryce speaking with Corporal Parkes through a livefeed somewhere at the Polish Border.

Corporal Parkes what's the situation over there?

Corporal Parkes LIVE via satellite: "The fighting has been going on for days now. We're in charge of holding the line against the Russian onslaught here at the Polish Defense Blockade. As soon we deal with a wave, another comes. I don't think we can hold out much longer. Our food reserves are running low, and I don't even want to talk about our -"

-interference-

Corporal Parkes: "These lunatics! It doesn't matter how many we kill. They just send more. We've been trying to save our ammunition because we heard the depot got blown to bits when the Eastern Defense Blockade got compromised."

Eric Bryce: How many men are fighting with you? What is the status of the Blockade?

Corporal Parkes: "We're down to about half of our man power. They don't care about the loss of life. It seems they want to wipe us out no matter the cost."

-Interference again followed by the sounds of heavy shelled artillery-

Eric Bryce: Corporal Parkes? Hello? Corporal Parkes!

-Silence-

Eric Bryce: It seems we have lost our feed. We will attempt to regain the link while we'll do our best to keep you updated on the conflict. This is Eric Bryce for ECAN. Good night.

oday we bring you what may be, the biggest ROTR update yet! I'm proud to present our work for the Russian faction, their infantry, the Russian Hero(and some of his abilities) and some screenshots from the field! I'm sure you are all exited so lets get it started shall we?

First up on the list is the Russian Command center,

Russian Command Bunker:

Next is our Russian Barracks:

The Infantry Quarters for all Russian Bases. These facilities are used to train newly recruited soldiers, hold sleeping quarters, and an underground infirmary for medical emergencies.

Now its time to show you our Russian infantry. In Rise of the Reds the Russians utilize the strongest of vehicles in the game. Due to the large economic boosts of the 2020's from the African and untapped resources of the Russian Tundras - the Russians were now able to re-cooperate their once lost military might, balanced their economy and tripled their population. As the 2030's came around however, the African Military Theater crippled their economy once more and the Russians took revenge on their so called European Allies. With their still strong military force and massive armies the Russians led an invasion of Europe. The Russian Federation first took volunteers to the war effort but as the need of more men were needed for the invasion of Europe they eventually led a massive conscription, giving simple civilians a rifle, a uniform and a months worth of training, making them very cheap for Russian Generals.

Russian Conscript:

The standard Russian soldier. Recruited by the Russian armed forces these soldiers are armed with a standard assault rifle and can be trained for a reasonable price. If you consider just giving a man a rifle training that is.

Russian RPG Conscript:

This conscript has been trained in the use of the RPG-27, they move slower than most infantry but in turn they can tear through enemy armor much faster than other anti tank infantry. They however lack the ability to aim at air targets and can only concentrate on ground units.

Russian Igla Trooper:

The Russian response to the lack of a early anti air weapons platform. Even though the Igla missile launcher was primarily designed to be used on airborne targets it can be used on ground targets but are not as effective. General are urged to use these troopers as a counter to air units as RPG Conscripts are not equipped or trained properly to do so.

Russian Hero - Boris Bikov:

A renowned hero within the Russian armed forces, Boris uses his powerful RPG-29 to burst through enemy armor with ease. When infantry comes into his sight he can easily switch to his Makarov Pistol to pick out the threat. Boris is also equipped with a laser designator to call in air strikes to soften hardened positions.

Russian MiG Bomber (Boris Ability):

When Boris calls in a air strike using his laser designator, these Russian MiGs are called in for the job. They cruise at fast speeds in search of Boris' laser and hurl incendiary bombs at their target, devastating the stability of the structure and leaving it in flames.

Thats all we have for today, we hope you've enjoyed this update. Also if you'd like to see in-game screenshoots, hope on to our forums to check them out!

See ya next time!
