Early Career
Joining Future Strength at the age of 12, the young Tukhacheskov showed great enthusiasm and aptitude, and was snapped up by 44th Armoured Division on leaving university and Future Strength at the age of 18. Entering the Atopian Land Forces with the rank of 2nd Lieutenant in 2030, aged 19, he showed great talent and skill. He was a popular commander, well liked by his troops, who was greatly inspired by duty and loyalty.
Victories
The Battle of Baker's Landing during the Iragian Intervention was a glorious victory, and the beginning of Tukhacheskov's meteoric rise to the top of Atopian Military Command. The battered forces of First Army Group's Second and Third Armies succeeded in taking Eurasian forces entirely by surprise following a 20 mile overland march without air cover. The resulting combat was short and bloody, inflicting over 23,000 casualties in return for some 4,000 losses.
