Here notable results of the valiant defense of the Rodina by the North-West Front will be published for the greater glory of the proletariat!

-Field Marshal Georgi Anzyakov

Shaka Naldur · April 29, 2003, 11:54

where are the screenshots?

The ANZAC · April 29, 2003, 19:46

Here is the lastest status of the front. All quiet, but for how long....? And those Stukas seem too close for comfort....

EZRhino · April 29, 2003, 21:52

Are you goinng to defend Demyansk? The road to Novgorod has been destroyed, and thus any significance as a route of re-supply to Leningrad is lost.

The ANZAC · April 29, 2003, 22:00

Yes it will for two reasons:
1. we don't know when the road will open again and if it does, Demyansk will be a vital way to get to Leningrad.
2. If we don't stop them there, they can start attacking Yaroslav and reach hither-siberia. not a good thing...

Henrik · April 30, 2003, 01:10

I agree keep Demyansk, I pillaged the road as a precautionary messure (those panzers are way too close for my liking currently) and it can be rebuilt quickly when needed in the future...

Shaka Naldur · April 30, 2003, 06:33

yes hold Demyansk comrade, we are going to have problems if we don´t do it

The ANZAC · April 30, 2003, 17:20

ok, here is the status in Demyansk, comrades. As you can see I really need that KV-1.....

greeny · April 30, 2003, 17:52

Unfortunately Demyansk went into disorder due to the temorary loss of Minsk so a KV-1 has been rushbuilt in Kalinin insead.

Shaka Naldur · May 1, 2003, 06:45

what we need at demyansk it is a barracks comrade, that cannot be forgiven :doitnow:

The ANZAC · May 1, 2003, 22:09

that will be done and the KV 1 will be moved up ASAP

Shaka Naldur · May 2, 2003, 07:19

Kallinin won't be hard to defend if Colwyn stops the axis at Vitebsk-Smolensk,

I've never had problems with Demyansk, but if the city falls we are screwed, after the fall of Narva we cannot lose any other city

The ANZAC · May 8, 2003, 18:15

A Great Victory!!

Today, at a fortress north of Vitebsk, 5 German divisions were engaged....

The ANZAC · May 8, 2003, 18:16

...and summarily destroyed!

The Fascist pig-dogs are quaking in their boots!

In other news, forces are being regrouped for the defense of Demyansk. A KV-1 should be rushed there or it might fall

OOC: why don't gifs ad jpgs show anymore?

conmcb25 · May 8, 2003, 19:15

Great job Comrade!

Im not sure why our Recon photos dont show. I was thinking it was my work computer.

Dr. Nick · May 8, 2003, 19:31

Pravda has thanked our great Comrade General Anzyakov for the fine photographs of his great offensive.

H Tower · May 13, 2003, 17:34

comrade Field Marshal Georgi Anzyakov, what is happening on your front?

The ANZAC · May 13, 2003, 20:09

Nothing so far. Hoping I can take advantage of the winter...

Colwyn · May 15, 2003, 22:08

To take back Kholm and Veilkie Luki this winter?

The ANZAC · May 16, 2003, 17:39

Possibly, I just need a few more offensive units, which are rolling in right now, so bets are yes

Bossy20000 · May 18, 2003, 10:37

Be sure to ask the Marshal, because we are brainstorming on many (bold) plans in several threads, and I don't think we can do them all in the same season. We might need units elsewhere, so it might be wise to take defensive positions. There is no point in taking cities and then losing them, together with some of our valuable units. We will need to reinforce the cities on the Don, plus Stalingrad and Rostov, for soon the pontoon bridge will be there, together with a lot of units, aiming towards Stalingrad.

I think next winter will be the time to launch a fullscale offensive, and try to beat the Germans out the Baltic States! We should however learn to start our offensives immediately when winter begins, so we can take as long as possible advantage of our better winter warfare abilities. Plus, we will need a coordinated attack, on all fronts, so they can't send any reinforcements to counter one of our attacks without leaving some gap(s) elsewhere.

Just my opinion, I'm not the marshal, nor a commander, nor an advisor to STAVKA. I can only draw your attention to certain things, and hope some people mentioned above will keep this in mind.

I dont disagree Comrade but there is a point to doing this. Depriving the facists of a city even for a few turns disrupts his reinforcing with more units. (Captured cities are spawning points!)

I think that is the reason we are planning this offensive on this front in conjunction with the Belorussian front.

I do what my Marshall tells me. Its up to him and the Front Commanders where they want to attack.

Although I do agree right now we can not do everything everywhere!

Bossy20000 · May 18, 2003, 11:04

Exactly my point, comrade! I think we will need to point out some priorities, for our resources are not unlimited (although our workers are the best in the world, working for their country the best they can)

H Tower · May 18, 2003, 14:43

There are now 4 SU-122's that are available to attack Khlom! Plus two Siberian Regiments that can be used in a follow on support role. However, if you decide not to attack, one of the SU-122's south of Kalinin is to be handed over to the Belorussian Front

EDIT: wrong attachment

The ANZAC · May 18, 2003, 15:43

If Colwyn is up for it, I will attack. Are all 4 of those units in the stack for the North-West Front?

H Tower · May 18, 2003, 17:22

that's the plan, although no movement points are left for the siberian soldiers

But I think they move like red guards, you might have to check rules text on that. If its closer thay may be able to just go right thru the woods.

I would check that out Anzac.

The ANZAC · May 18, 2003, 20:15

Yeah they move jsut like partisans and red guards in the winter. I think I may be able to move them in t position in time then!

conmcb25 · May 18, 2003, 20:24

Ya with 8 attack and 6 defense. Ignore Anti tank defenses too!

ASSAULT troops.

Were gonna kick some Nazi A$$, were gonna kick some Nazi A$$!

Ill see what I can do to rush some Red Guards in the vicinity to back up the offensive. (Defensive troops to hold ground after the offensive.)
