I agree with the Anzac, I think we should leave that road open, with the counter attack demyansk won´t be hard to defend

Bossy20000 · May 26, 2003, 07:21

We already have cut the road at Novogorod I think, We can't use it anymore as a fast supplyline, but we could deny the road to the Germans!

The ANZAC · May 26, 2003, 10:53

Nothing has come close to even threatening the heart of my front, so I doubt the germans all of a sudden will come out of the area north of Demyansk (which is not a good staging area at all) and heavily assault Demyansk.

Henrik · May 26, 2003, 10:56

The germans are allready north of Demyansk, I had to kill german tanks just south of novgorod this turn.

Also we are now closer to Riga than before as Talinn fell to my troops this turn

The ANZAC · May 26, 2003, 11:24

OK, I held my position strong and took out 3 German tank units. However my cities are lacking in aircraft defense. All I have is 3 AA batteries (2 are in Kalinin) and one La-5 in Demyansk. i'm going to try and rush AA batteries in Demyansk and Kholm. Do you think the Luftwaffe will strike hard in May? I hope not

Bossy20000 · May 26, 2003, 12:28

They normally strike hard in this summer. You better start rushing some AA's or LA-5's. Let's hope we have destroyed enough of his planes to give us some time. Like I already said a few times before, we should redistribute the airforce, so that you can engage against his bombers

The ANZAC · May 26, 2003, 13:00

Yes I need La-5s and AA batteries- fast!

And I can't move them up from Kalinin because then they will sitting ducks on the road

Bossy20000 · May 26, 2003, 13:26

Ask the Marshal for LA-5's from other fronts, where they can rush buy new ones

The ANZAC · May 26, 2003, 13:56

OK I will.

The ANZAC · May 26, 2003, 17:44

Did I miss something?

I hope you weren't pissed off that I wanted some planes/AA batteries to defend from the Luftwaffe

H Tower · May 26, 2003, 19:09

not at all, in fact, go check out the STAVKA thread for detailed discussion about the entire Red Airforce

The ANZAC · June 4, 2003, 23:25

Here is a Before after picture--12 German Panzer units destroyed and not one loss! And only 2 units used!

Where was this about? Did you have follow on defensive units to protect the SU-122's.?

Great job comrade!

Next stop Vilnius!

Bossy20000 · June 5, 2003, 05:05

We seem to be on the offensive on our northern fronts! If this continues this way, we could be fighting in East Prussia next winter, and take the war to Germany

The ANZAC · June 5, 2003, 09:33

I didn't want to risk anymore units out in the open, so I left the SU-122s there alone. But I just made a kill ratio of 6:1 so I'm not too worried if they get destroyed. The Luftwaffe, if it attacks, will take out anything, even any defensive units I could have sent.

The area: the bottom edge of the marshes south of Leningrad, around square (45,61)

Now if I can get an engineer to build a road, then I will have a clean path to Riga.......

Talk to Henrik he has a bunch he has been using in Lenningrad!

The ANZAC · June 5, 2003, 10:19

Great! I will

Bossy20000 · June 5, 2003, 10:53

Are you planning to retake Riga this summer, or are you just preparing everything for the coming winter? I like the offensive war we are fighting but I don't know if we will have enough units, as comrade Naldayev and Figikovsky will need units to defend their fronts!
If you think yo can do it though, go for it! For the Rodina and the Party!

The ANZAC · June 5, 2003, 11:40

I plan to strike whenever it is opportune: whether it be winter or summer, it makes no difference. I have a sizeable force on my front and would only need limited if any reinforcements to launch the offensive.

Bossy20000 · June 5, 2003, 13:00

Then I would say go for it comrad Anzyakov!

The ANZAC · June 5, 2003, 15:51

I just need the roads built and a few more reinforcements.....then I also want to see how the rest of the fronts do this summer against the Nazis.

H Tower · June 14, 2003, 15:03

Bump! can we get an update about your august situation after you finish playing?

The ANZAC · June 14, 2003, 15:30

Ok here is my possible plan map: I am completely open to suggestions.

But one thing I need is more katyushas. I have enough tanks and versatile infantry (RGs, SGs, and Cossacks) planes (2 Sturmoviks, though I could use 1 or 2 more). Kats I will need if I launch this, especially if I do this before winter.

So here it is: Part one- I build the roads needed to connect me to Daugavpils and the former Velkiye Luki-Riga road. I take Daugavpils and the fortress.
Part two- I take Riga and possibly Pskov (both of which I will eventually give back to Henrik) If I have stuff left, I will try to consolidate in Daugavpils.
Part three- connect the roads to Kaunas and take the city. If I have the ability, I will take Vilnius too.

How does it sound?

H Tower · June 14, 2003, 15:44

What about striking at Riga from Daugavpils? I think the Baltic Front should be able to handle Pskov on it's own. Also, would controling Arzamas yourself help you in this campaign? I think Colwyn would agree to cede it to you for the benefits of his northern flank being defended. (Actually I know he will because I can tell him to like

)

Everyone is begging for Katys, I hope the Armaments minister is taking notes

The ANZAC · June 14, 2003, 17:14

attack Riga from Daugavpils? sure, I just thought taking that fortress might help things

Yeah, I don't need that many katys, only 3 or so

H Tower · June 14, 2003, 17:28

I missed the fortress under your arrow

yop73 · June 14, 2003, 17:33

Good plan. We really should start rebuilding those roads.
