Friends, comrades!
Welcome to the official Itch.io page for Night of the Patriots - The Tank Lieutenant!
This page was formerly used for past works 5 Nordic Friends and Project Baltics, which can still be downloaded using special links.
Night of the Patriots is a NON-POLITICAL journal-style book following the life of military officer Senior Lieutenant Artyom Antonovich Novikov, a Soviet tank commander just before the Battle of Kursk. As the unit comes out of the Battle of Rzhev, Novikov finds himself in the position of Company Commander for his unit after the death of their last commanding officer. As he eases into the position and gets to learn about the many people who are to help him in his endeavour to improve the overall quality of the unit's operation, his position is taken back and given to Captain Fyodor Stanislavovich Strelnikov, who for an unknown reason is deemed more fit for the position.
At first, Strelnikov's command experience proves useful, as his history as a political officer helps him kick off preparations with a bang, until he starts to... disappear for longer periods of time.......
Suspicious of Strelnikov's activities, Novikov and a few other of his fellow soldiers try to figure out what's behind their new commander's actions....
