December 1942: General Winter begins plotting the advance

H Tower · July 27, 2003, 19:31

lose cruiser to german cruiser
perekop under heavy attack
zaporozhye might fall
full transport falls to german bomber near hammerfast, 4 units lost
zaporozhye falls, 3,000 rubles plundered

Kherson FULL of units
destroyer and probably transport stack destroyed, 2 units die
Rostov under heavy attack (how many units do the germans get every turn in the southern ukraine???)

A sudden blizzard announces a fierce winter this year... The temperatures quickly drop below zero and every german soldier on the eastern front is reminded of last winter's misery and death... You are now ready for part 4 of this scenario.....

28 units lost

sorkingrad builds barracks
kazalinsk builds laborer
aralsk builds laborer
patiskov builds barracks
vorkuta builds NKVD Intelligence Agency
nizhniy-tagil builds laborer
ulyanovsk builds labor brigade
khodzheyli builds barracks
poznan builds barracks
lodz builds barracks
dnepropetrovsk builds barracks
galati builds barracks
orsk builds air force base
voroshilovgrad builds barracks
the population of the fertile soviet empire now exceeds 35,000,000 comrades

Marshal's observations
-There were a heck of a lot more Germans near Perekop than I thought possible
-Don't forget to change the files to Part 4
-Planes can be shot down by tanks in winter, don't forget
-That bridge on the Don near Stalingrad didn't go away yet, Stalingrad and Rostov are still threatened and can't really turn their garrisons to the attack until the Germans stop spawning there.
-The Belorussian, NW and Baltic fronts need to start planning their advances into the Heart of Germany for approval, a coordinated plan of action will get us farther, faster.
-I'm going to start a thread with screen shots of inner Germany for viewing by the country

The ANZAC · July 27, 2003, 20:00

thank you for reappointing me marshal!

I will serve the Rodina well on the Ukranian Front!

Do we still have the 12 hour waiting period before we should take the save?

H Tower · July 27, 2003, 20:41

Just to clarify your position, if FiGu returns, he'll get his job back, and then I'll use you to sub in wherever needed to keep the game going, as for right now, how about impressing everyone with some plans for retaking Zaporozhye

A 12 hour wait should still be observed, lets people comment on what you should do before you actually go do it.

The ANZAC · July 27, 2003, 21:24

I'll see what I can do

Also, what cities exactly are under my jurisdiction?

One if by land, two if by sea, and they come by air?

The ANZAC · July 28, 2003, 14:08

Zaporozhye retaken. Road destruction around Rostov is hampering efforts to retake Stalino

Also is it just me, or does my front seem severely under-manned compared to the 1st Ukranian Front?

I'll post rush buys in the other thread.

Im all ears comrade

Xenozod · July 28, 2003, 16:12

I don't know what your talking about.

Oh, and I'm back, so yay and stuff...

PinkyGen · July 28, 2003, 20:59

When changing the files back to winter, do we have to save the game as rf?

I shall shortly propose my plan of advance in the STAVKA thread, it assumes NW and Baltic exist in the same area. However, it will be most unorthodox, as part of the route has our fronts going through the same cities.

H Tower · July 29, 2003, 01:20

You don't need to make an rf.sav file, only change the .txt and .gif files

FiGu · July 29, 2003, 10:00

Im back, may i have my front back? please.. i waited a very, very long time to get a front..

MY FREAKING F***ING COMP HASN'T LET ME IN POLY!!

H Tower · July 29, 2003, 13:24

If you really are back and won't go dissapearing again, then the 2nd is yours.

Anzac, thank you for your service, perhaps you should run in the upcoming Politburo elections?

The ANZAC · July 29, 2003, 16:26

desk jobs aren't my thing.

But if you need replacements for any other fronts, any other time, I'm here.

I posted the NW front plan on the STAVKA thread. Are there any comments, or should I proceed with the turn?

I suggest that ANZAC get the Murmansk front since he is here right now. I still have not managed to find a viable civ cd since my only available copy got broken.

I have a better one, but it is packed away with most of my school stuff in Vancouver.

If you take the front, you'll get to run the attack on Helsinki this turn with Katyusha Rockets, so you'll have quite a bit of fun.

PinkyGen · July 30, 2003, 19:44

Taken the save.

PinkyGen · July 30, 2003, 20:11

See NW front for details, but I'm at the gates of Konigsberg, and shall assault it next turn.

Please do.

Just make sure Henrik agrees to give you the Katyusha from Talinn to assist the assault., and to get the sleeping Naval infantry from Leningrad.

The ANZAC · August 1, 2003, 17:50

ok, taking save then

The ANZAC · August 2, 2003, 11:29

sorry for the delay!

Helsinki taken and position reinforced!

Comrades, I desire to return to Moscow for the victory parade sooner than later.

greeny · August 4, 2003, 19:36

hmm.. since the remaining front commanders seem to have gone into hibernation for the winter...

Tank production at record levels, citizens of many cities go hungry in order to maximise production. But we have stored enough food over the summer to prevent starvation. Cities which have newly come under civilian administation are made into efficient troop production cities. Labour Front Wonder begun in Vorkuta.
