But, but, the pen! The pen is, ahem, mightier than the sword! Or the Moisin Nagant for that matter!

curtsibling · April 6, 2003, 03:04

True!

Our partisan leaders tell me that a pen stuck in the right crank shaft may make a Panzer grind to a halt!

They actually haven't succeeded yet in doing this, but it's possible, theoretically...

Today in a small ceremony marshal H-tower was presented his first millitary medal by members of the stavka and others

He was given the Order of the red banner for his commencement of re-organising the soviet war effort. He is currently on study leave at Perm learning about modern war methods.

We hope that he will return soon and display his medal with pride.

Thanks guys

Now we need some for the front commanders.

Seems like we are slowing the Krauts.

H Tower · April 28, 2003, 13:55

colwyn certainly slowed them down when he recaptured Minsk, gives the labor brigades another 2 turns maybe to complete the minefields outside of smolensk and vitebesk

Now that winter is praticaly upon us I think it would be timely for the Marshal to hand out some medals for the Summer Campaign.

I would like to be the first to nominate Colwyn as a Hero of the Soviet Union for his fantasic performance on the Belorussian front, retaking Minsk to hold of the Axis for another turn and for holding Smolensk and Vitebsk against all of our expectations ensuring the safety of the capital.

Of-course this could all change in the Germans last turn of summer

Excellent idea Comrade. Ill have to see where Comrade Pavlov lands in the upcoming political struggle first though. (If you have no idea what Im talking about see the STAVKA thread......

)

Ha! Yes indeed. I can smell the intrigue from here comrade!

Ben Kenobi · May 9, 2003, 17:55

I'd like to nominate Colwyn and Shaka Naldur for medals, for their excellent defense of the Belorussian and 1st Ukranian fronts.

Good! Thats the Intent. Medals are not just given for good performance but also for party loyalty, (which means loyalty to me!)

Duely noted and despite my concerns about my future I do have to admit that I totally agree.

Although other Front Commanders have also done well. Both Yopov's and Henrikov's last minute defense of Leningrad (working together for the betterment of the whole) also need consideration.

Colwyn · May 9, 2003, 18:10

Parties loyalties?, my marshal remember I voted/supported you in to start with, I have holiday'd with you at your dasha (yahoo messanger) in the stavka thread I am agreeing with you re marshal 's not being on the stavka at the same time, ughmm and the others things well, err err

Good comrade, I was wondering if maybe you were getting attached to that other guy..........

H Tower · May 10, 2003, 22:25

while I find it sickening that the Marshal is playing at poltics while discussing giving out the highest decoration possible in the Soviet Union, I cannot fault giving out the medals.

In addition to those already given out,I suggest the Order of the Red Star being given to the NKVD regiment (and their commander Henrik) that cleaned out the ruins of Narva in december 1941. They captured 19 German units I believe!

Also, Greeny should be given the Valiant Labour Medal for his safeguarding of the treasury during these lean months and deciding where the limited funding should go, also he deserves recognition for spurring on the scientists to research needed weapons for the front

Yes comrade some of our citizens dont agree with my spirited and talented defense of the Rodina. For purely political reasons of course. They feel that there power base is being threatened.

Its a shame especially at these trying times.

I shall however fight the Facists to my death! As the Marshall or a private in the Red Army.

My hatred of the Germans will not die and the struggle will continue until ultimate victory.!
