Damn fascists!

oh man, with which units does that hapen??

Shaka Naldur · April 16, 2003, 15:46

oh man, with which units does that hapen??
where do they appear?

Colwyn · April 16, 2003, 18:57

My lips are sealed, oh yes I'd love another bottle of vodka comrade ..................

but I susspose I can twust the wommand staff.

PKV IV's tanks but not the Grp2 ones
Wermarch but not the Wermarch SG
Stukas but not other aircraft type

Avoid killing these types in summer 41, but get the rest.

They spawn a little behind the front in cities and fortress's

This is truely evil, those dam facists!

Six Thousand Year Old Man · April 17, 2003, 08:11

When do they stop spawning? In October 1942, I counted 42 Pkw IVs thrown against Rostov. And I didn't think to start counting until the stream of tanks was looking like it would be endless.

I'm guessing that particular wave of panzers was events-generated... but does the spawning generally stop in winter 1941?

Pretty much german killed units spawning ceases after summer 41, but events generate units for most of the game for the AI as they don't build them in their cities till much later ie 44-45

Kill and not be killed at all after summer 41 is the plan. Attack and then retreat back to cities is the way to do it.

Colwyn · April 28, 2003, 02:15

Germans enter the city of Minsk but are beaten back by partisans and a cosack calvery(see pic) storming though the city lobbing off german heads. Soviet Advance halted after a I-16 reports over 40 german divisions to the west of Minsk.
I-16 kills 4 SS units in the marshes during the recon(see pic)

Labor brigades start building a minefield b/w the forests, covered by a AA unit and PE2 bomber, that same pe2 destroys a panzergranider division to its north. Moscow divisions made their way West to shore up Smolensk reserves.

I-16 ambush's 7 Ju88's heading towards vietsbsk and damages a Panzer III before crashing.

Misc Wermarch SG and Panzer III's killed in/near the minefields NE of Viesbsk.

greeny · April 28, 2003, 04:44

Impressive work Comrade! More commanders should post pictures like this.

EZRhino · April 28, 2003, 04:44

Are you actually going to try to hold Minsk??

Colwyn · April 29, 2003, 19:18

Of course I'm going to try to hold minsk, comrade stalin would kill me otherwise.

On the other hand trying is not the same as succeeding, minsk will fall end September unless I get 10 kv1's moved to minsk this turn.

(translation - no we won't be trying to hold minsk but I will recapture it if its lightly defended ie 1 Wermacht SG last time.

Colwyn · May 1, 2003, 20:49

The salient is holding! By elliminating german stageing area's in the area (City's/Fortress's) the hun have to mount attacks from afar and get caught up in my blocking zones. I then knock them off at my lesure and retreat back into the city.

The building of a few 1-16's has worked wonders as they knock off the Ju-88's in front of the AA batteries. Russian pilots sacrifice their lives on these one way missions. (fuel range

)

Assistance i need from other commanders inc :

CRITICAL - Moving a motorised inf and 2 i-16's from Kiev to gomel(undefended), these 3 units will just be slaughted anyway but they can hold gomel for another turn or so and stop the german's from "spawning there" you will also help the ukraniun front big time as well as the belorussian with this act. please comrade....

Other cities : Build cosacks(rush buy) even if you expect them to fall soon, its costs so little but could hold the germans for a extra turn rather than having one advance german unit taking the city and giving them a new stageing ground to attack the same turn with 6* PKzIv's hummels etc.

Wait, you arent destroying fortresses are you? This is against the rules. What do you mean?

Colwyn · May 1, 2003, 21:41

No I'm not destroying them, by elliminating I mean soviet units hold those positions esp fortress's which we often ignore.

This is a new stratagy that seems to be working well, need AA's though in fortress's with roads pillages to stop short tanks and german artillery short.

EZRhino · May 1, 2003, 21:41

Oh, ok

Shaka Naldur · May 2, 2003, 07:21

I have to say that you are making a good job comrade

Kiev is doing well too!

Though we may need to commendeer a 1-16 and Motorised Inf (non vet) to hold Gomel for another 2 turns or so (this will benifit you mostly as the germans will have no "spawn" point in that area.

EZRhino · May 9, 2003, 15:17

Do Kalgua and Tula fall under your jurisdiction?

Shaka Naldur · May 9, 2003, 16:33

yes both cities fall under colwyn's jurisdiction

Colwyn · May 10, 2003, 04:53

The germans enter the salient and get killed.

23! Pz III's sneaking though the forest get blown away by a pe2 bomber who finds them all lined up.

Gomel and Bryansk reinforced by the belorussian salient. (who said they wern't worth defending

Fortress spots near Vitesbsk reinforced due to rumours from many who think it should be abandended via a secret poll, I choose to ignore it and fight on, not a step back comrades.

Next turn is winter plan to build a few cities in the salient to get more red guards per turn.

Minsk could be taken in winter as long as I get the airport in Smolensk rush built and Stalins organs flown in.

I also plan to built a city during winter in the priparyt marshes to house our valient partisans who are there. (gomel to rush buy a labor bridage this turn marshal please)

conmcb25 · May 10, 2003, 07:33

Did I not satisfy your requests Comrade?

As the looming political struggle kicks into high gear I hope you remember that!

We have a big decision coming up with Katyusha's!
2 Are ready this turn (DEC) but should you get them or Leningrad? Eliminating the Narva threat is a top priority.

We shall see.

Good job on this front especially nailing the foolish stacked up Panzers. I believe the Nazi's must have been hudddling together for warmth. I hope they freeze during our wonderful Russian Winter.

Shaka Naldur · May 10, 2003, 14:27

if we can hold vitebsk and smolensk it will be more than excellent, the units needed to retake minsk will be more necessary in the leningrad area, just IMHO

maybe winter 43 as a scout plan reports over 30 divisions around minsk not to mention the probable 20 inside, I suggest to everyone don't build kayusha's build KV1's and AA's instead, the germans will hit hard in summer 42 it aint over by a long shot. My salient needs reinforcements with good defences if its going to hold next summer. Some cities down to 2 divisions.

My plan is attack and retreat to cities, defend and counter attack big time in winter 43

I agree Katyusha's were built for the early winter to Facilitate Facist Hunting. Now we need more defensive units, I will ensure that is what the Armaments minister is building out east!

Let the Fascists have Soviet Pragmatism.

Perhaps then the Revolution will spread to their dissenters.

The ANZAC · May 12, 2003, 18:03

Just build up. We can bide our time

conmcb25 · May 12, 2003, 18:15

Colwyn, I think you may want to look at the Medals thread.........................

Colwyn · May 14, 2003, 00:04

Build a city in the priparyt basin on river/forest for +100% def in summer!

Clear german units away from the current salient and hold it!

Will not attempt to take Minsk until winter 43 at earliest.

Build 1-2 new cities on rivers/forests in the salient for more red guards per turn.

Reinforce all my cities for german attacks in summer 42 (some with only 2 units in them!)

Uncover some hidden terrain improvments in the salient.

What do you think about building a city north of Vietbsk near the minefield?

How does one uncover hidden terrain improvements?

Where (screenshot please) is it a good defensive location? Will it help to continue hindering German spawning and infiltration just to the north of Vitebsk?

Can it be built and held till we build units and improvements in it?
