In the Name of the Tsar moved the war east: the snow of the Carpathians at Lupkow Pass, the Baltic island fortress of Albion, the open plains of Galicia and Brusilov Keep, and then the Russian Civil War at Tsaritsyn and the frozen Volga. It added the most maps of any expansion, the Russian Army with the Women’s Battalion of Death as the Scout class, and the four-engine Ilya-Muromets heavy bomber. Supply Drop, a mode about fighting over airdropped crates, arrived with it.
The Brusilov Offensive and Red Tide Operations cover the Austro-Russian and Civil War maps respectively.

Galicia and Brusilov Keep are open combined-arms maps where cavalry and the armoured car matter; Lupkow Pass is a snowy infantry fight with avalanche-prone slopes; Albion is a naval-landing map with the dreadnought offshore; Tsaritsyn is a city fight and Volga River a frozen plain. Red Tide is the best Operation of the set. The Ilya-Muromets is a flying fortress that needs a full crew to use well.
