Aside from the stories of Marcus Renee, Stephan Bauer and the battles of North America and Europe, there is also the story of the battle in Asia, and of one Yon-Soo Park.
This was so much fun to work on Honestly, though? Khan Aitmatov, Melnik, and that mare that I really should have named later (She'll get one soon, folks!) are just more soldiers in the war, there to radio in other news, provide extra asskicking, and give other perspectives. Just do whatever feels right for them
4223584 Yeah, I'm thinking of having them be kinda "heroes of another story" type deal, but they're not really core characters. Still might be part of the "dragons" as a whole, maybe even cameo in the main Spectrum story.

Porter then reached for the radio, quickly thumbing the microphone and speaking into it. “This is Tigr Unit 8402-Romeo, we are going north-northeast out of the Kalininsky District, travelling at 60 kph on Route Charile Golf.
