Belorussian Front

Critical rush buys :

Nikov - Barracks (please change) 20k
Arzamas - Barracks (please change) 160k (can't afford to disband)

Important requests :

Ryzev - Barracks 76k
Pavlov - Barracks 76k
Pytavlo - Anti tank def 154k
Bryansk - AA 136k

All up I'm only asking for less than 600,000 rubles. I hope that since were going to get 2,000,000 with the convoy that my front will get at least 1/3 of the budget this turn.

If these purchases are made "this" turn we are almost certainly going to hold the salient, if not it will be very hard.

Note : The following turn the only critical purchases will be Anti tanks def in Nikov and Arzamus.

Nikov, Arzamus and Smolensk will be the three fortress cities that will get german attention (away from other fronts)

Don't forget that the germans do attack this area hard again in summer 42 its not until many turns later in summer 42 that the stalingrad attack will occur.

I allready disbanded a red army. If the cruiser is incrementally rush bought it shouldn't be too expensive...

The ANZAC · May 24, 2003, 10:09

rush buy SU-122 in Demyansk,
rush buy barracks in Kholm

FiGu · May 24, 2003, 10:52

yop73 · May 24, 2003, 11:09

conmcb25 · May 24, 2003, 14:09

MARCH 1942 ARMAMENTS WISH LIST!

Priority One Buys:

CHELYBINSK-Airport-248. We REALLY need to fly Siberians from there.!

Ashkabad-Grain Elevator-44
Orsk-grain elevator-114
Zlatoust-grain elevator-92
I know Grain elevators aren't that sexy BUT without them in these cities I will never be able to get thru a productive winter without starvation.

Vorkuta-Power Plant-98
Its off the beaten path BUT will produce over 50 shields after this buy. Next turn Ill start an airport and then Ill start cranking out units.

Priority Two Buys:

Kollectiv-Kazan-50
Kollectiv-Aralsk-70

Gorkiy is about to start a Katyusha, is that really what we want?

yop73 · May 24, 2003, 14:59

Nope, build a KV-1.
We don't have enough KV-1 tanks to defend our cities properly.

That was my thought. Anyone else?

Bossy20000 · May 24, 2003, 16:28

We need defensive units there to help protect Rostov and the surrounding cities! Change it in a KV-1

KV-1s built in Gorki will hardly help out near Rostov

yop73 · May 24, 2003, 17:42

Airlift???

H Tower · May 24, 2003, 17:49

Then we'll get to hear colwyn scream about lack of reinforcements

Colwyn doesn't need reinforcements. He is always on the attack. All he needs to hold a city is a red guard and an AA or two...................

That old woman and men will do, the germans don't have much ammo, even better send me gulag prisoners, druggies and other enemys of the state. Next winter Kayusha's will be needed by this front to take back key cities, we need to have some places building a stockpile of them now. If not Gorkiy another needs to be allocated this role now. Ideally a airlift every few turns to Smolensk/Moscow with one would be good.

Bossy20000 · May 25, 2003, 06:45

No, he really doesn't seem to need any reinforcements

He only asks for the entire summer-production of half the Ural

H Tower · May 25, 2003, 22:40

Normally I don't tell you how to do your job comrade, but these are ABSOLUTELY NEEDED ASAP. Find a way to make it work please

*Airbase in Chelyabinsk needs to be rushed! (Ural Region) we need to be able to airlift more than one siberian per turn
*anti-tank defense in arzamas (Belorussian front) needed to protect many units in size 1 city on the front lines.
*Anti-Tank defense in Nikov (Belorussian Front) needed to protect many units in size 1 city on the front lines.

These Anti Tanks will be rush build this turn, I wanted barracks last turn so the units in the cities would have this turn to heal. And the effects of antitanks are immediate at the end of this turn.

Henrik · May 26, 2003, 10:37

One KV1 in Novgorod, one AA in Luga.

Both cities have shields in their boxes allready.

FiGu · May 26, 2003, 10:49

One T-34/76 in Novorossiysk. (324,000rubles)

EDIT: I also want one Kv-1 in Astrakhan. (385,000rubles)

yop73 · May 26, 2003, 11:57

No rush-buy requests for this month.
I do want a tank or siberian infantery into Murmansk this month from the Urals.

The ANZAC · May 26, 2003, 12:59

For April '42:

(This is a longshot, but worth a try) Rush buy an AA battery in Demyansk and Kholm.

Henrik · May 26, 2003, 15:38

Hey if you feel like spending lots of money feel free to rush buy the kv1 in leningrad as well, disband the red army that's homed to the city rather than the one that is NONE if you do though

greeny · May 26, 2003, 18:26

We won't get another convoy for a few months so I'm planning on keeping a fair amount of cash back for emergencies (I'm sure we will have a few this summer).

H Tower · May 26, 2003, 19:16

We have one in Baku this turn that can be delivered, and there is another one coming from Iran that will arrive in Baku next turn, but won't be deliverable unto the turn after that.

Comrade Grenski, I'd like you to take a peek at the STAVKA thread where the commanders are going to be hashing over their Red AirForce requirements and desires for the coming months

I talked to Marshall Sorokin today. I think we will build a KV-1 at Moscow and a Sturmovik at Gorkiy. That way we get one pf each unit next turn. If we did it the other way around we would get a KV-1 in Gorkiy in TWO turns. (And we have an airport in Gorkiy as well

Not sure how Moscow and Gorkiy BOTH got switched to Sturmoviks though. Marshall Sorokin was wondering that same thing.........

Bossy20000 · May 28, 2003, 16:40

Somebody is showing "initiative". We should find him and shoot him ...erm... help him overcome his problem
