Maybe you can combine your attacks with comrade Henrikov? If he attacks Tallinn at the same time you take the other cities, we will have some secured fronts, and comrade Henrikov could have his troops ready to invade Germany or attack Finnland, what is needed most, without having to garrison Leningrad with most of his troops.

Henrik · June 15, 2003, 06:13

I could take talinn simultaniously...

If I am supposed to take Pskov I'll wait untill winter comes, so that I can traverse the swamps.

Henrik · June 15, 2003, 06:15

You read my mind it seems Michaelovitch.

(your post hadn't yet shown up for me when I made the one above)

Bossy20000 · June 15, 2003, 09:02

Great minds think alike

Plus, it is my job to read the mind of the russian people

Colwyn · June 16, 2003, 02:08

His got a sturmovik to kill the unit in around Daug, move up the tanks, enter the town, sturmovik with its last few moves enters the town too!

The ANZAC · June 16, 2003, 22:55

Yes, I could, and I will, but I need to make sure everything else is brought up to speed with it. Because if I take the city and it doesn't have city walls, I am screwed. I want to move all together to ensure I can get this all done quickly and then consolidate. Also I am still moving the engineers into Kholm, so until they get there I can't rebuild roads. Move faster!

Colwyn · June 19, 2003, 06:02

Its now sept the time is ripe to attack you have built up good forces, onwards comrades before the butts of your soldiers rot.

The ANZAC · June 21, 2003, 10:33

The status: the engineers were slightly too far away so now they are one or two spaces away from the gap. Next turn they will build the road and at the same time I will launch the attack. I managed to occupy the fortress east of Riga, but there is a stack of German units on a river square 2 squares away and there is an arillery unit there

But I still have many forces. And if winter comes, I will still be prepared as I have cossacks, siberian guards, and red guards, and I still should be able to wallop the Germans.

So until next turn...

The ANZAC · June 27, 2003, 11:16

Success! With no unit loss, Pskov, Daugavpils, and Riga were secured! Army Group North has been drawn, quartered, and annihilated! Here is the sggested plan for my successor: first secure the current holdings. Then if possible, take Kaunas and Vilnius (a road will have to be built one square north of Daugavpils). Then maybe you may want to make a raid on Konigsburg or attack Talinn to help the Baltic front destroy the Estonian Pocket. Good luck

Comrade Soldiers of the NW front:

Comrades, I have sad news for the Rodina. Our glorious General Anzyakov, while leading his grand offensive in liberating the northern workers of our nation, suffered a grave wound while leading his troops courageously into battle. The wound, while severe, is not fatal, though he may become a cripple. However, he will be unable to lead his front for some time.

Due to an expected shortage of generals, the Marshall and the Politburo have granted me a field command and I have transferred here to command you brave soldiers into combat. And trust me, before I was a *beancounter* , I was killing counter-revolutionaries by hand, for your freedom, during the Civil War, while you still nursed from your mother in your petty villages along the Volga!

We shall continue the advance, and free the Baltics and all Soviet territory from the facist menace who have oppressed your families. Then we shall enter Germany, and bring the benefits of true socialism throughout Europe. For Lenin, Stalin, and the Revolution!!! Onwards!!!!

EZRhino · July 8, 2003, 01:29

No can do on the katyusha in Demyansk. The city is locked down by civil unrest

PinkyGen · July 8, 2003, 11:58

Hopefully then the NKVD can check it, or else I'll go in and fix it next turn when the game finally gets moving again. (My soldiers are tired of sitting in the tanks, they want action under their new general).

PinkyGen · July 8, 2003, 23:46

The Germans have countered attacked, and air recon has picked up large formations of German troops near Konigsberg and Kaunas. I shall need healthy troops and my own reinforcements brought up before I can continue. For some reason, Siberians and KV-1's are fortified in the rear on my front. My plan shall be to wait and try a winter offensive to take either Kaunas or Konigsberg.

Local offensives to cement gains, 13 German divisions destroyed by tired but advancing Soviet troops. Riga is reinforced with another KV-1, my goal is to have two per front city, especially if they are weak and half strength as they are now. Is the Baltic front to relieve me as soon as Talinn is connected to Riga via road?

And a pretty picture of the front after I thinned out the Germans a bit by killing a few stacks before retreating. Still plenty of targets left.

PinkyGen · July 30, 2003, 20:07

3 German Wehrmacht divisions and one Panzer division destroyed as the troops travel through snow to the outskirts of Konigbersg. Only the the winter snows prevented attack this month, but rest assured, next month the city will fall, then on into Kaunas. It may not be as glorious as the Belorussian front, who may beat us to Danzig by skipping by Kaunas

, but we will enter Germany, and once the weather clears, my smaller forces can really take off.

Henrik, If you aren't going to do anything with that transport in Riga, next turn I'd like to use it to lift my then healed KV-1 and Katyusha to Konigsberg.

PinkyGen · August 9, 2003, 11:33

Advances on Two Fronts:
1.German infantry divisions attempt to counter-attack out of Kaunas, but they are ambushed and easily destroyed in the open. All divisions destroyed, and this greatly eased in our efforts to triumphantly capture the city!! 154 rubles were liberated after our katyusha’s and tank hunters bravely stormed the city. Our glorious troops then used Kaunas as a base to attack the forward German infantry in the rear, catching them by surprise and annihilating them. About 10-12 German Infantry divisons were destroyed in this endevour, the Germans were hindered by overcrowding their troops in this endevour.

2. The once "Free City of Danzig" is free once more, free to fly the red banner that is.

I stole a Red Guard out of Konigsberg, and killed him,

so Henrik can take one of mine. Danzig was taken, 280 rubles, and with anti-tank defenses and barracks intact. It also has a naval base and air force base!!! Around 3 German infantry divisions killed, as well as one AA battery.

Other news: German hedgehog destroyed by Kholm.

Henrik, I also have a tank hunter in Riga I would like sent to the front in either the transport or road repair. I am sending a Labor Brigade to assist in road repair, but it is some distance away.

Also, I have a labor battalions between Khoml and Pskov I am not using.

That is it, if I forget anything, feel free to do it while I am gone.

PinkyGen · August 18, 2003, 20:30

Mostly same as before. Kaunas taken for 143,000 rubles. Killed lots of German Infantry. I used a Baltic Front Red Guard, but he actually destroyed the AA defenses in Danzig, and lived. I left one of mine blinking for you anyway. Danzig captured for 260,000 rubles, barracks and airbase intact, but a lot of unhappy Germans. I have moved my units forward to this area to heal.

Forward troops have moved onto Bydgoszcz. I found some troops left blinking that I thought were belorussian (an NKVD and T-34/85 guards unit), but since belorussian already moved, I decided to move these units forward to Bydgoszcz as well, and there was no where else for them to really go. I also moved some of my own reinforcements on that same road. I expect the city to fall next turn.

I still have two free labor battalions south of Pskov.

A picture of the front: Soon the German Slave Labor will be freed.

PinkyGen · August 24, 2003, 17:58

The resistance stiffens...

Bydgoszcz falls, but after a Panzer Grenadier division and formidable AA batteries overcome. It seems as though the Germans wish to fight on even though their Fuhrer is no more.

Of course, the city fell to the 32nd Guards Tanks Division, supported by fanatical Red Guard Soldiers, and 180,000 rubles worth of material was sent to Moscow in honor of our glorious new Marshall, who hopefully will be able to enjoy this bounty before he gets purged. A concentration camp and slave labor was also liberated by our troops, and the poor treatment of Jews and fellow Slavs has infuriated the entire front, and they haved to continue until we reach the Rhine!!! Also, as retribution for the starvation of the prisoners, we have cut the German's grain allocation most severely.

With the capture of this city, Neustralitz is also to be added to NW front command? Does this includes the units there, or does the Belorussian commander wish to withdraw them? I have not touched any of them, but I am now controlling production in the city.

Also, NW front troops are leaving Danzig and Konigsberg, as these are now Baltic Front cities, and I shall no heed to what they are building anymore. I'm also finding it confusing sorting my troops out now from Baltic troops, though I think I worked it out. But Danzig will be a constant area where my reinforcements run through.

Troops approach Wittenburg and Luneberg, but the tanks are now outracing their infantry and artillery support, so it may be springtime until that area can be assaulted.

Ill leave that decision to the real Marshall, Im just a stand in. Im sure he will be back in a few days. Let us know when you are at scholl and back online!

I am at school and online right now, hence the post.

PinkyGen · August 25, 2003, 18:01

Comrades, I am pleased to announce an upgrade at my own expense to my field headquarters. Before, my headquarters was forced to rely on a four year antiquated Toshiba satelite Pro 2060 CDS. Though this trusty computer has served the Rodina well, it is being retired for use only in emergencies.

In it's place, I present the most powerful anti-fascist command structure, the Dell 8300

(note, mine is flatscreen).

May the facists fear

, and may someone else please direct me to the Civ2 MGE patch as I reload my Civ2 on this powerful assault computer.

For the Rodina!!!

Bossy20000 · August 26, 2003, 15:38

Very nice headquarters, comrade, although you could have chosen camouflage colors

PinkyGen · October 15, 2003, 19:12

*In the General's headquarters, a nervous commissar ventures into the General's room, disturbing him from his slumber.*

"Ahhh. What is it?!"
"Sir, it's the Marshall and the Politburo, both are on the phone asking to know what is going on."
"For the Rodina's sake, give me the phone."
*picks it up*
"Dah."
*Pinkygenovitch hears the greetings of his new Marshall, and of the Politburo. . They asked if he was disturbed from his slumber*

"Yes I was comrades, though I do not regret it. I was having the most fearful of dreams. I dreamt I was a capitalist english Jew, leading a damm foolish religious Crusade in Palestine. It seemed almost real."
*Pinkygenovitch starts addressing the Politburo members, starting with Knapovitch and going down, only saying "And you were there, and you there, and you too were there." *

"Comrade General, perhaps next time less vodka before bed. Anyways, what is the status on your front?"

"The Germans, at first sign of springs, they counter-attacked, using massed formations of Panzergrenadiers. Losses are unknown at this time. Scouts have detected Panther tanks in the German lines, as well as Tiger tanks across the Elbe. I have ordered a fearsome counter-attack. Almost all of those attacking Panzer-grenadiers are dead. We estimate between 3-4 Panther tank divisions were destroyed as well.

Lubneburg was captured, there was only token resistance. Finally, advancing even more bravely against the enemy, in a feat of almost super-heroic strength, I am proud to report that I am calling to you from Hamburg, and that this second Nazi capital has fallen. The remnants of their government have fled to our own soil, to Nikolev, no doubt in an effort to rally their populace with their few meagre gains.
The Hitler Youth Movement is now in our hands, as well as 260 more rubles, plus 120 from freeing poor oppressed people from concentration camps.
The Germans may be strong, but we will not rest until every last facist is dead!!!"

Our brave tank crews advance into the muddy outskirts of Hamburg

*out of character*
Since we captured Berlin, can someone please activate the event that prevents the Germans from producing units. Already a bunch of Germans are appearing very close to my lines.
