You did your best to guard and retake land from the soviets, but it all failed.
Outnumbered and outgunned you fall back through the bluster and blizzard through a neverending night, fueled only by your will to live and wehrmacht panzeschokolade.

In the long winter of the arctic circle it's incredibly quiet, the quiet is amplified by the tinnitus caused by artillery fire and the, at times, unending firing of a machine guns.

The falling snow dampens the noise further. Usually when it's this cold the air is crisp and the snow is like ash, but now it behaves like the last now of the spring. Large, wet, flakes that dampen both your vision and sense of hearing.

Your unit has retreated, and gotten lost.

As locals this should not happen to you. You've always discounted the disappearances in the tundra as the folly of inexperienced hunters from the southern cities or suicides. Disappearing is more honorable than giving up.

The german pills are wearing off and someone is attacking you, an unit of no more than 10 men, but it seems that they're running directly towards your gunfire *but they're getting up*.

No reasonable man behaves like this. Isn't there laws against attacking a retreating eneRmy?
