The Belorussian Front HQ - (Darius)

[Bossy20000]

The name is Michaelovitch, comrade Naldayev. Let's hope you have better intelligence information when you attack
The flag is that of the Russian Federation I couldn't find one of the CCCP. Who runs this site? I bet they are capitalists The day will come however that the proletaiat will win, and then

[Shaka Naldur]

I also looked for the CCCP flag but I didn´t find it,
what was the opinion during the soviet union about the actual russian flag??

[Colwyn]

Build a city in the marshes (river+forest for +100% def) to hold the partisans and other forward units.

Build a city north of Vietbsk to house units guarding the fortress and the NW part of the salient.

I'm pressuming Anzac will attack Kholm(with tanks) and Veki(with inf) this turn as he has amassed quite a force. He'll then have 1 more winter month to rush build and reinforce the taken cities.

Strenghten and defend the salient is my goal with limited excursions into german territory to thin the ranks.

I was possibly going to attack Minsk to clear it up a bit but lack of units will hold me back(If I only had 5 more redguards). I lost more partisans than expected that would have been needed ie I wanted to have 10 attacks on the city.

At least this month money is promised!

[Bossy20000]

I think we are attacking too much, we should already think of the summer, and prepare our defensive postions! Clearing Minsk of Germans is nice, but we can't afford to lose one single unit!

[Colwyn]

Belorussian Front

New city created in the Marshes to home our units in a very defendable position and to be a point of attacking next winter either to Minks or Kiev or even to the west. Named after my uncle who fought in this War (greek/russian) he was a partisan for a while too.

About 15 german divisions killed in and around the salient, mostly near Minsk/Marsh's.

New city created north of Vietbsk to hold back the german tide, if Anzac can take out Kholm and Veki the germans staging areas will be a lot further back.

Will only hold these positions and reinforce next winters turn.

Marshal/Ministers don't forget to airlift units(even weak one's) to Smolensk each turn (no enemy interception now) AA from Moscow needed.

The building of a city North of Vietbsk will take a lot of pressure from Anzacs front in summer, I need more units!

[Bossy20000]

Maybe comrade Anzyakov can send you some of the units he received for his offensive. He should be able to get you at least two units, he has some time for rush buying now that your new city will take much of the attacks in this region

[Colwyn]

Plan for April 42, just defend and strengthen the salient. Nothing else fancy.

[H Tower]

Are you worried about Arzamas not having any anti-air defense?

[Colwyn]

a AA is already on its way for summer to arzamas

[Colwyn]

Move units outside of cities into the cities to defend and or strike enemy units and retreat back into cities as often as possible.

Use planes to identify and strike large concentration of enemy units.

Build and utalise Sturmoviks to strike enemy units away from roads under our control/no mans land.

Defend the salient.

[Bossy20000]

Just do not overreach, next winter we will drive them back!

[Colwyn]

This month I put mu ground units in defence mode within the salient and used aircraft in hit and run tactics.

When the germans expend them selves attacking our cities I will counterattack and then regroup in the cities again.

The new Sturmovik ground attack aircraft have flown their first missions and knocked out about 10 german divisions tank and inf alike.

They have been moved to the front line cities to extent their fuel/operational range.

I have also started building up the eastern part of my salients industry so it can by summers end be producing quality units in 1 or 2 turns. I encourage all displaced citizens to join this endevor or settle in these cities.

Tula is building a labor unit to bridge the road to Orel as reccomended by Shaka.

Nikov becomes our most occupied western city on the front, its is likely to be bombed a lot, I would ask that the new yak be sent their for defense purposes.

[Colwyn]

Comrade Stalin said not one step back which we are doing, I feel like taking a few steps forward again while the weather is nice, my troops are clammering for more victories and we cleared out so many german troops during winter there actually hard to find.

Kracow looks nice, lots of industry

Here's a pic of a smiling KV1 crew this summer.

[Shaka Naldur]

too early to attack comrad
thanks for the labor brigade,

[Shaka Naldur]

colwyn I also think that you should send the siberian to bryansk, to reconquer Gomel next winter
they are more usefull in regions where there are not as many roads

[greeny]

Will you be sending partisans south in order to attack the pontoon bridge over the don? (huge attack bonus against movement=0 units) They will have to get moving to get there in time.

[Shaka Naldur]

they are too far away, and I don´t think that he feels like leaving Nikov undefended

[Colwyn]

I'll airlift some from Smolensk to Stalingrad!

Good idea greeny.

I'll have them ready.

[Shaka Naldur]

what is the partisan bonus to attack O units movements??

[Shaka Naldur]

Colwyn, sending an la-fighter to kill the he-111 at gomel?
we will have problems with the bombers at Bryansk and the other small cities

[Bossy20000]

Only use fighters when there is a stack of them, because they often shoot our fighters down with theirs! We have to kill four units of him for every one of ours(although in reality it was just the opposite) to keep things in balance.

[Colwyn]

Pruning the belorussian hedge

[Colwyn]

Lets sweap aside those german invaders.

[Colwyn]

The question is comrades should I continue on ?

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

The side of me that is a Politburo rep hails your victory at Minsk, comrade General, for the stirring propaganda it will make.

The armchair strategist in me wonders if your flanks might be a bit exposed... or if you are exposing someone else's, by advancing further?

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

I believe it is 4 x normal attack.

[Colwyn]

Give me a few more Kayusha's and I will move mountains,

mountains of germans corpses all the way to Berlin.

[Ben Kenobi]

Soviet Pragmatism recaptured?


Looks like our propaganda depresses the Fascist hordes in Belorussia.

Could we conquer the entire northern front, down to Riga?

[H Tower]

that could be harder due to longer distances between towns, especially beneath an unfriendly sky
