2 жыл бұрынRecently we've once again been playing Hearts of Iron 4 like mad. Speaking of mad, it felt like high time we depicted our usual Soviet playthrough. Thanks to to Paradox for sponsoring this video, take a look at the new "No Step Back" DLC here: play.heartsofiron.com/Squire

Kind of running out of leaders to depict now. I suppose It's time to shave off most of my hair, stick a couple of pillows down my shirt and pull out my grandad's suit. Just call me Winston. Once again thanks to Paradox for sponsoring this. Without them, we wouldn't have had the budget to buy a load of Russian stuff and film in nifty place. Please do check out "No Step Back" here: play.heartsofiron.com/Squire
