good!!!

if you manage to catch the newly-spawned stacks more often, then it will greatly relieve both you and comrade Shakakov's front... this will ease the inevitable liberation of the glorious Rodina occupied by the fascist scum...

To whoever is in charge (I still think it is FiGu):

You may want to unfortify the planes in Perekop because if you don't they don't get a 'scramble' bonus against enemy air attacks!

FiGu · June 28, 2003, 06:02

Comrades! Operation Liberating the Oil and Operation Flanking Damage will begin this turn for my part.

Should i capture Bucharest(or try to capture) in the first attack, or wait until the event comes of the surrendering of the romanian army?

ok, ill do it.

I say wait with capturing Bucharest, it will make your job so much easier moving west from Stalingrad once you can turn off the romanians. You can always go after ploesti first.

FiGu · July 1, 2003, 06:12

Here you see the advance of the red army!

here is the landings of the red army.

PinkyGen · July 1, 2003, 09:42

Good luck Comrade, and congradulations on your offensive in the Ukraine itself. You have the facists trapped in a nice little pocket in Stalino, it's nice to encircle them for a change.

H Tower · July 1, 2003, 13:06

Now THAT, is a thing of beauty!

Ben Kenobi · July 2, 2003, 19:23

Indeed!

The Fascists flee from the Rodina!

Soon we shall liberate our comrades and punish prisoners in Siberia.

Well done FiGu!

General Georgi Nikolai Anzyakov was gravely wounded while leading his troops on an offensive into the outskirts of East Prussia earlier this summer and had been recuperating in an army hospital. The marshal has called him into action to command the 2nd Ukranian Front while its commander too was incapacitated and faced a serious threat of German counter-offensive.

General Anzyakov quickly cleared out swaths of German troops and retook Zaporozhye. An offensive on Stalino could have been effected that month as well, but the roads were in no condition to help an offensive. However the orginal commander has been reinstated and General Anzyakov's fate is unclear. There seems to be a retirement on the Murmansk front though...

PinkyGen · July 31, 2003, 20:36

What about the situation on the Rumanian coast?

The ANZAC · July 31, 2003, 22:30

Reinforced; not strong enough yet to move on Ploesti. Our beachead seems secure.

Bossy20000 · August 1, 2003, 12:00

Can't we take Ploesti first? It would give us a nice source of money every turn!!!

The ANZAC · August 1, 2003, 17:58

sorry I meant Ploesti. Too heavily defended

FiGu · August 3, 2003, 05:30

*imitates Terminator 3* "I'm Back!"

Comrade Figiskovsky, what is the status of the Stalino pocket? The 1st Ukr's left flank is currently exposed to attack from the Southwest, though there does not appear to be any immediate danger. When can we expect the fortress of Stalino to be smashed such that we may fully clear the Ukraine. I am not in the position to offer any forces there as much of my army is far to your northwest. However, I will be happy to commit forces that are being prepared in the Kursk area for the upcomming German summer offensive. They are not strong as of yet, but they may help to strangle the salient north of Stalino.

-Vasili Kleshnikov.

The Current situation in 2nd Ukrainian Front.
Stalino Pocket totally destroyed!

Bossy20000 · August 28, 2003, 11:18

Very well doen, comrade Figiskovsky!!!! Finally, we have retaken this piece of Russian soil. Now our oilfields and the great city of Stalingrad are safe.

Ben Kenobi · August 28, 2003, 17:44

If I'm not mistaken I see a pocket occupying that bridge on the river Don. Until we pulverise the pocket, we still need to defend Stalingrad.

Do the Nazis spawn on that point?

Has Dnepropetrovsk been recaptured?

Do we have any plans to retake Odessa, or will we focus first on Ploesti?

Obiwan, did you switch to the proper winter turn with the batch file? I could have sworn the bridge was gone. And I believe thats what Marshall Sorokin reported at the beginning of LAST turn.

Check that out again, I believe the bridge is history.

conmcb25 · August 29, 2003, 10:12

This was lifted directly from Marshall Sorokin's post at the beginning of the January (Last) turn:

I think he might be reffering to the image posted which shows a pocket of fascists.

Ben Kenobi · August 30, 2003, 13:21

Yes, of course I'm referring to the image.

Why would I have access to the save? I'm no longer a front commander, and I don't have a working civ2 cd.

Glad to hear we have cleared out the pocket. Just make sure you edit the image.

FiGu · August 31, 2003, 07:20

hmm, actually, that pocket near Stalingrad is a couple of Hedgehog's that can't be destroyed at the moment..

I know this post is from some time ago, but I just wanted to report that in my recent game (deity) of red front I killed 277 German units in one stack outside perekop in December '42. Made the front a LOT easier to hold.

BTW congrats on getting to german soil so fast. Got Berlin only in June '43.
