Maybe you should write the next one from the eyes of the Russians? All over the newspaper I felt Germany is "home", and Russians are the "away" team

Other than that, interesting to read

Really??? Biased toward the Germans??? How?

As the 181st tank were tied up by the 3rdSS, axis HQ's ordered an infantry assault by the 20th Panzer Grenadier Division at a snowy forest in Eastern Poland. Aerial Recon photo's failed to show the intricate trench system the Red's had devised and which proved fatal for the 20.PzGr's as they had to withdrawl from the Snowy forest.

The (5GJ) 5th Gebirgsjager Mountain Division & 20PzGr's attacked Lazur where the Russian units of the 193rd & 8GA fought a long arduous battle eventually repelling the German assault.​

The Russian 181st Tank Brigade went on a full assault propelling through our defensive lines. With heroic fighting the 20th Panzer Grenadier Division defended Arad to the last panzerfaust but the battered Ruski Brigade now holds the dismal land of Arad.​

The 5SS holding what was thought to be a secure line was suddenly attacked by units of the Russian's 181st Tank Brigade at Bondarevo forcing a general retreat in the area.

I guess its a matter of interpretation. As I see it, this issue is praising the bravery, valor and victories of the Russians.​

It's just how I felt, I did not say "biased" though. There's just occasinal "ze Russians attacking unzereh defensez!" sentences and many "reports" from Axis HQ. I don't really care if it should be neutral or not, as this is just the writer's impression.

Overrally, good idea and good work.

OSTFRONT GAZETTE is some cool stuff, isn't it? Gets a little more depth to details of the campaign as a way to keep the RO community informed of what we're up to over in the realism units.

Don't worry.. the Soviet propaganda machine is in full swing on our own unit forums. Hehehe but for our routine campaign updates on the Eastern Front Operations forums, we use the B.B.C. as a neutral (reasonably neutral, that is ) source of the news.

Here's a sample:

"This is the B.B.C., and here is the 6 o
