West Russian War

The West Russian War was a conflict fought in European Russia, Ukraine and the Caucasus, between the Greater Germanic Reich and its allies, and the West Russian Revolutionary Front and their allies.

Background
During World War II, Germany invaded the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, leading to its total collapse and the occupation of Russia up to the Urals and the A-A line. In the years following the war, various Russian warlords rose in the power vacuum created by the fall of the USSR. Loyal Soviet generals under the leadership of Voroshilov formed the West Russian Revolutionary Front to force the Germans out of Russia. The United States and Japan both seeing a chance to counter German ambitions, would give military aid and support to the WRRF. When the German economy imploded, the WRRF took the opportunity and launched a massive attack.

Russian Advance
The war began with a massive partisan offensive, that caught the German forces totally by surprise. easily forcing Reichskommissariat Moskowien's forces back. Confusion ran rampant through the Wehrmacht as the Russian forces advanced westwards. Berlin, not wanting a total collapse in the east, scrambled to send reinforcements to prevent this. The war began to take its toll on the already struggling German economy, causing further strife. This was coupled with a major partisan uprising in Reichskommissariat Kaukasien by the Transcaucasian Soviet. Marshal Zhukov led Operation Suvorov, advancing toward Ukraine in the south. Marshal Tukhachevsky's forces, meanwhile, also saw many victories as they aggressively pushed into Moskowien from the north. Gorky, Pensa, Arkhangelsk, and Plesetsk were all soon seized by the advancing Russian forces. The Front used the momentum from these early victories to great effect, and their army swelling in size as newly liberated russians in former Moskowien territory joined the war against the Germans.

German Response
The German high command turned to desperate means to stave off the collapse of their front line. One such measure was the creation of the Russian Liberation Army, under Andrey Vlasov. In desperation, the Germans even allowed the creation of the Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia (KONR), the embryo of a free Russian Republic that would rule over areas liberated by the German counter offensive.
