Fronts will be dynamic creatures; re-constituted and created anew as the situation dictates. Modern warfare will provide for huge swaths of terrirtory exchanged in a single blow. Commanders are also wounded and might have to stop playing their turns every now and again. In cases such as this, New commanders will be called to the front from the ranks.

Front Commanders will have complete control of the units within their region, they will also be in command of the cities within their front and responsible for the build queues in them as well as the selling of improvements within the cities of that front which they feel they are in danger of losing. Must gain the approval of teh economic minister before rush buying units, improvements, etc.

Stavka will be composed of: H Tower, The Anzac, Colwyn, Six Thousand Year Old Man, Shaka Nuldur

Economic Minister In Charge of the Science, tax, lux rate. In charge of assigning specialists to all cities. Controls the Caucauses Oil Field Cities of Tbilisi, Maikop, Baku, Grozny, and Stavropol. Must give approval for use of the rubles in rush buying by the Front Commanders and Armaments Minister. Controls the movement of Lend-Lease Program freight once they land in Murmansk. Reports to the Marshal.

Armaments Minster In charge of the Ural Mountains Industrial Complex of cities and the production of those not directly under control of a Front commander (these western cities like Tula and Orel etc will eventually be occupied by Commanders, negating duty). Controls what is produced. Controls workers and labor brigades within the region for maximum output. Must gain the agreement of the Economic Minister to spend money out of the national treasury. Reports to the Marshal.

Turn play will go like this:
1st: Marshal
2nd: Everyone else Please post when you begin playing your part! That way we won't have two people playing the same file and end up having to repeat a front. And to doubly make sure that we don't miss anyone, please say who was the last person to play in front of you. Save files will be posted in special thread so that ministers and commanders do not have to go looking through the entire forum to find the latest save game.
3rd: Marshal who ends the turn

H Tower · March 31, 2003, 13:15

Front Commanders: If you feel you will need to rushbuy an improvement or unit, please converse with the economic minister before playing your turn, that way the economic minister will be able to budget you a certain amount of money to spend. As part of your asking the minister for funding, it would be useful to mention how much gold you will make by selling off improvements. I'm not the economic minister, but it is likely that the more money you make by selling improvements, the more money you will be granted to spend.

I suggest you create a thread where you can talk about what is happening on your front and present plans and solicit opinions about what to do

Economic Minister: While the front commanders are begging for money, don't forget that the armaments minister has a HUGE area to develop and has no way to produce income like the front commanders do in selling improvements.

Armaments minister:don't forget to rehome refugees as they enter your area, you feel like an idiot if we lose dozens of refugees because the city gets taken over before we can use them. Not to mention you'll earn a one way ticket to the gulags at the same time. It might be useful to talk to the front commanders on where they want defense improvements made like barbed wire and city walls. Also, you're in charge of building tommorow's army, while it may seem like a good idea to max out city improvements early on, a drought in reinforcements could prove fatal down the line.

Everyone: If your Marshal is being a complete idiot and leading us on the road to disaster, say something! It's no secret I have only the most basic understanding of this scenario, so try and help me out a little bit.

I plan on playing on starting the scenario tonight or tommorow afternoon, get ready generals, because here come the Germans!!!

Colwyn · March 31, 2003, 17:36

Comrade Marshal H Tower I am ready to serve the motherland by commanding the city garrisons of :

Brest-Litovsk, Minsk, Bialystok and Vitebsk that are closest to the german lines.

I see that my lines of secondary defence include Smolensk, Bryansk, Kaluga, Tula, Moscow, Kalin and Gorkiy all of which could be in german bomber range.

May I request additional control of Smolensk at this stage as well so I can co-ordinate the army b/w it and Minsk.

Long live the Soviet.

The ANZAC · March 31, 2003, 18:53

I am ready to take up the call as well.

OOC: I will be gone from April 3 to 5, so if my turn comes up during that time, someone on STAVKA can play

Paul Hanson · March 31, 2003, 19:28

I'm here too. I finish uni for the easter on Friday too, which is a nice coincidence, as my computer here is lacking in horsepower and it makes playing Civ a bit of a pain.

Shaka Naldur · April 1, 2003, 08:15

Dr. Nick · April 1, 2003, 09:45

I would be honoured to serve the Rodina as Deputy Minister of Propaganda on the Politburo.

H Tower · April 1, 2003, 11:38

Vitebesk and Smolensk are added to the Belerussian Front
Poltava added to the 1st Ukranian Front
Dnepropetrovsk and Zaporozhye added to the 2nd Ukranian Front

pm's will be sent to those who need to know about changes such as these when they happen.

The ANZAC · April 1, 2003, 19:43

Could Demyansk and Kalinin be added to the Northwest front, if the battle line reaches those postitions?

H Tower · April 1, 2003, 20:20

those cities will likely be added to your command upon the begining of the next turn

The ANZAC · April 1, 2003, 21:10

also could Yaroslavl be added to this as well, as you never know when the line might go out....

Shaka Naldur · April 3, 2003, 12:13

H tower,
I would like to have my front extended as far as the don river so i can start to organize my defense

Dr. Nick · April 3, 2003, 15:46

*feels ignored*

I'll try anti government propaganda, that should grab their attention.

curtsibling · April 3, 2003, 16:30

Due to the fast flow of war,
A front post or city command will open up soon enough, Comrade El Awrence!

Failing that, the minefield clearance regiments are always on the lookout for volunteers...

Dr. Nick · April 3, 2003, 17:01

No one is listening to me!

*cries*

I only want to be sub editor of Pravda!

*cries*

do that and you'll find yourself the editor of the Siberian gulag newspaper.

By fiat of the Marshal of the Soviet Union El Awrence is granted the position of assistant editor of PRAVDA with all the privledges and responsibilities thereof.

Dr. Nick · April 3, 2003, 19:03

Long life to the Proletariat!

Colwyn · April 3, 2003, 19:17

Beria head of the NKVD and stalin's crony!

After all if you look at the forums all the commanders are openly talking about retreat etc etc someone needs to put some real soviet pressure on us all!

Vlad Antlerkov · April 3, 2003, 19:21

FWIW: I won't be able to handle front commander responsibilities until June 10 or thereabouts (when I get out of school for the summer). After that, I'll be able to stand in for someone else.

Yeah, so, until then, I'll be in Siberia, defending Vladivostok against the Japanese attack that we all know will come.

Colonel Vladimir Antlerkov

I'd rather just report the traitors to the Rodina to Comrade Stalin, I don't want to have to purge them too, even for these terrible crimes against the People.

curtsibling · April 4, 2003, 03:53

Remember!

"IN THE SOVIET ARMY IT TAKES MORE COURAGE TO RETREAT THAN ADVANCE!"

Here is an image of our brave Comrade Stalin for you all, to re-affirm your loyalty!

conmcb25 · April 17, 2003, 22:41

Is this our current organizational scheme and front responsibilities other than STYOM is now Commander of the Murmansk Front? Just want to be sure.
