belgorod is building barracks, but that has already been built

ufa builds steel mill

-Once again we've had several Labor Brigade units being unused behind the lines, I tried putting them to work, we'll just have to see how well I did.
-Kotelnikvo is almost defenseless, more units need to be moved into town to defend it.
-We've advanced beyond the point the game thinks we should have, witness the stack outside leningrad right now that wasn't there before.
-Perekop is only lightly defended IMO, something needs to be done to either drive the germans much farther back or more KV-1s are neccesary.
-I need reports telling what techs we should research, and we need a poll asking the people what they think about it, or at least a discussion about it.
-I can't say enough about the numerous freight units we have wandering around up north, I don't how it happens, but get it fixed!

Taking the save. Should winter be loaded?

Edit: I ran a save myself, and it appears it is still summer, so I have not loaded winter.

PinkyGen · July 8, 2003, 23:45

Details on NW front, but I could use some reinforcements, this front does not have a lot compared to the others, and I have damm Germans popping up in my rear. An extra sturmovick or two when the next summer comes would simplify things greatly.

Also, if we have discovered Advanced Flight IV, how come our La-5's are still there, instead of being upgraded into Yak's?

Signing out the save

Henrik · July 9, 2003, 10:11

I'm ferrying some reinforcements into Riga, now I'd like to ask permission to cut the road infront of the city as currently there is nothing stopping the Germans from striking at the city with full force (which would cost us lots to no visible gain).

I was planning on possibly using that road for a winter sortie to Konigsburg after your guys come in, rather than have it take longer to go to go Daugavplis and then go west. If you want, you can cut it after I leave.

Also, German mobility will be severely restricted once winter starts, so we should at least wait until near spring before we do any cutting.

Finally, with only two German cities adjoining both of our areas of responsibility (Kaunas and Konigsberg), the front is getting kinda crowded to manuever.

Henrik · July 9, 2003, 17:30

That road can be both easily and quickly rebuilt. If we leave it now they will strike at the city next turn and looking at it's very small garrison I'd say there is a very real risk it will fall (winter doesnt start untill our next turn).

BTW anyone willing to play consider the save un-signed out

while we are discussing this.

PinkyGen · July 9, 2003, 19:15

Eh, go ahead and cut it, I do have engineers nearby and can send one to repair the road.

This is one of my primary concerns. Last turn I sped bought a new airbase in Kandalashaka, and in addition we are going to begin diverting freighters from Murmansk to Archangelesk, which has a (tragically underused) airport.

Which units?

My units near Helsinki better be fine after I sent those planes to sortie.

Time to punish them for their outrageous impudence.

Henrik · July 10, 2003, 06:14

Road pillaged, two finnish destroyers sunk, German unit stack south of Riga destroyed.

The Helsinki stack is fine btw

(my roadbuilding stack however is not)

A new one has been sent out to take it's place.

Too bad winter starts next year, Ronne is very easy to take if one has a sturmovic nearby, usually it's very lightly garrisoned. A Sturmovic in Riga would be able to move out, attack and return in one turn...

Colwyn · July 11, 2003, 03:09

So is it winter files now or not?

Colwyn · July 11, 2003, 03:11

Ignore, Henrik clarified above, sorry.

Ben Kenobi · July 12, 2003, 13:26

Taking the save.

Ben Kenobi · July 12, 2003, 16:04

Helsinki trembles...
See Murmansk front for details.

And here's the save

Oops.

Sorry comrade Sorokin.

H Tower · July 14, 2003, 14:29

FiGu, Xenozod, and Greeny, please play!

Xenozod · July 14, 2003, 16:03

Da, Da... when I have time!

Colwyn · July 14, 2003, 19:40

I'm still here I just usually wait for the other front commanders to play first as I can respond to their needs, reinforce or complete a german encirclement if needed.

Xenozod · July 15, 2003, 00:21

I hope to play it later tonigh/tomorrow morning.

PinkyGen · July 15, 2003, 23:30

This is getting ridiculous. Only half of the fronts have posted.

I think we should have a new rule where the Marshall is authorized to play the turn of any front commander who cannot post in a week's time. (I am willing to change the "week", but I think we need some limit).
