Steve said...: Named after Lt. Tanya Pavelovna

Tanya was an ordinary girl whose family was ambushed by the Germans; after her parents were killed she picked up a fallen comrades sniper rifle and killed 4 Germans. This earned her recognition from the Soviet commanders who saw her skill useful for the situation in Stalingrad. There she met Alexsandr Sokolov who became her spotter. Later on in the game Tanya is thought killed along with Alexsandr by a Panzer which fires at the building they're standing in, although she is only wounded and is seen later in the level on a stretcher, having only been injured.; July 14, 2007 at 2:47 PM

Steve said...: Pvt. Alexsandr Sokolov

Sokolov is a young man whose dream was to open a watch shop and have a family. But after the German invasion he joins the Red Army and is assigned to Stalingrad. After fighting through the ruined city he meets Tanya Pavelonva, a sniper who is also fighting in the city. After the death of Sokolov's guide Sgt. Puskov, Alexsandr joins Tanya and becomes her spotter.; July 14, 2007 at 2:50 PM
Steve said...: Unfortunately Puskov the betta fish died just like Sgt. Puskov died in Call of Duty.

May they rest in peace...; July 14, 2007 at 2:56 PM
