Anezka Loudova

The youngest of General Korinek's officers is also the one he trusts the most. Captain Loudova never intended to be a soldier, and three years before the war she was a biochemistry junior professor at the University of Brno. Like many young Czechoslovaks, she enlisted with the army in a burst of patriotism as war began in 1984 and was assigned as a junior officer to the 15th Tank Division. She proved to be an effective and decisive leader despite the chaos that immediately followed, and was successful in several platoon-sized engagements against West German troops and, later, against Marauders. She was recently promoted to Captain and given command of the forces besieging Jaromer. General Koricek likes her a lot and sees her as a possible successor, perhaps because he recognises her as a fellow intellectual-under-arms. She is very popular with her men even if she herself is not especially battle hardened.

Captain Loudova's main motivation is to protect her family, which means her sister, brother-in-law and elderly parents, all of whom escaped from their home town of Jablonec and are now sheltering in Vrchlabi. Beyond that, her chief goal is to survive. She was awestruck by the horrors of war and still cannot quite believe she lived through them when many more experienced soldiers died.

Anezka is a woman of medium height and slim but well muscled build. She has honey blonde hair that she wears long, blue eyes and glasses. She usually wears Czech camouflage uniform, wears a salvaged Soviet army helmet and carries a Skorpion pistol.
