April 1943: Germany's Last Ditch Efforts

klesh · October 7, 2003, 18:07

Germans open the spring with an offensive! 22 Soviet Comrades lost! Avenge their slaughter with a slaughter of your own!
3 convoy losses, escort ships only.
Hannover recaptured by the fascists.

Pskov can't maintain Bank.
We Love The Komrade day celebrated in Poltava, Ukraine.
Zatloust builds AFB.
We Love The Komrade day celebrated in Patiskov.
Kracow cannot maintain Ammunition Plant.
Population Loss due to Famine in Lublin.
Anti Tank Defenses built, and WLTKD celebrated in Turku.
Pop Loss due to battle, Barracks built and WLTKD celebrated in Braunschweig.
Leipzig building already built Barracks.
Helsinki builds Fishing Fleet.
WLTKD celebrated and Anti Tank Defenses built in Kemi.
WLTKD celebrated in Riga.
Tallinn building already built Barracks.
Food route from Berlin to Kracow terminated.
Baku building already built Ammo Plant.

All Labour Brigades given tractors!
su122's upgraded to su152's!
Elephants, Panthers and Tigers spotted throughout Germany. Many Motorized Infantry suicide attacks against our troops.

Pillage and destroy anything the Germans might find useful near any cities you are unable to capture this turn. They still have a production capability. I want to see the 1st Ukr push west, and have the Bellorussian Front swing down southward and meet up some point west of Prague. This will clear alot of their prime production.

Immediate capture of Ploesti is vital. They have too much money to be rushbuying these fancy tanks.

Warning to 1st Ukrainian: The Germans trapped by the 2nd Ukrainian are attempting a breakout and are moving through your southern sector, near Kirovgrad. You'll need to divert some troops there as you have nothing more than a defensive posture there at the mooment. I'd like to see this Kherson Pocket smashed by the end of next month by the 2nd Ukr.

We need to tighten up slightly with the economy here. We are booming so it is hard to get everything, but there was alot of overspill that last round. Good Luck Comrades.

stick

conmcb25 · October 8, 2003, 01:22

I am assuming I may have to continue as econ minister this turn. (Ones future is never certain in politburo!

)

With that being said, I need a list of wants in each front posted in the Econ thread.

They need to be in priority order!

And to our new glorious Marshall I need some kind of a priority from you on which fronts get the priority

Only that way will we be able to purchase the things we absoulutely need.

Thanks

(Off his soapbox now)

FMK, did they smash the entire convoy heading to Hannover?

Where are they getting all these tanks?

H Tower · October 8, 2003, 13:20

Can anyone else download attachments? I haven't been able to

Ben Kenobi · October 8, 2003, 13:42

HTower, I tried and failed as well.

Could you please let Stefan and myself know why you left the Exodus game? Just send us a PM.

The ANZAC · October 8, 2003, 17:35

taking the save...

The ANZAC · October 8, 2003, 18:04

Finland is down to one city! Moving onto Norway...Maybe I should become the "Scandinavian Front"?

PinkyGen · October 8, 2003, 23:38

Comrades, until Poly repairs itself, or someone sends me the save, I must regret to report that I cannot continue in action. I cannot download any attachments.

klesh · October 9, 2003, 15:58

what is your email, comrade?

They did a little work to our boys in the area, I recall a stack of 5 units being leveled at one point. Losses are to be expected though, this is war comrade. I do not forsee the losses as being ultimately detrimental to the war effort.

Pinky's email : dsg27NOSPAM@cornell.edu

Please take out the no spam of course.

Please try and hook this up today, Pinky is leaving tomorrow for 4 days and lord knows this demo game has been delayed long enough!

Thanks

klesh · October 9, 2003, 17:11

crap, well I just tried DLing it, and I get nothing too. The computer says it takes it, but there is nothing there when I look. WTF, odd.

No go for me, sorry.

conmcb25 · October 9, 2003, 17:19

I think something is still screwed up with POLY.
I have seen this in numerous threads since the images ahve come back online.

Hopefully it will be fixed soon, until then maybe we should implement the upload vice attaching files? Maybe that still works?

The ANZAC · October 9, 2003, 18:59

here's the turn list.

1st Ukraine (???) Not Yet
2nd Ukraine FiGu Not Yet

Marshal Part2 (FMK) Not Yet

I'll try sending it to him.

PinkyGen · October 9, 2003, 19:53

The ANZAC has kindly e-mailed the game, so I am playing the save now.

Also, since we captured Berlin, can we now activate the event that it makes it hard for the Germans to build new units. (We captured it too early to trigger this in 1942).

Also, isn't spring supposed to be loaded after the German move?

Final edit: My new computer won't run the spring batch file. Conmcb25 is going to e-mail the program "choice" which should allow it to work, but I need for him to get home.

PinkyGen · October 9, 2003, 23:39

I won't be able to play until next Tuesday, so feel free to download ANZAC's save.

By leaving those troops in the city, they would have been protected. Obviously I underestimated German resistence in the area.

There was no good reason to ferry the units except to get a jump on the next turn having them in excellent attack positions.

This has nothing to do with this thread, but I can't enter most of the others. Do you all have the same problem, or does somebody know what I have to do? I have already tried several days, but I can't get into the Stavka or Murmansk thread.

Sorry to interrupt the war effort here, but I can't contribute without the most devastating of all weapons: KNOWLEDGE

FiGu · October 10, 2003, 10:18

taking the file!

EDIT: CAN't dl the file!!

PinkyGen · October 10, 2003, 10:43

Bossy, don't click the "last page" button when trying to see threads. Instead, open a thread, and use that to get to the last page.

H Tower · October 14, 2003, 21:00

Come on comrades!

Ben Kenobi · October 15, 2003, 10:53

Everything's been up and running for several days now.

Henrik · October 15, 2003, 11:27

Signing out the file.

Henrik · October 15, 2003, 11:31

Correction: The file supplied isn't recogniced by civ it says it's not a game file. My guess is it's been corrupted...

H Tower · October 15, 2003, 15:36

I pm'ed Anzac and asked him to repost the save

PinkyGen · October 15, 2003, 16:33

I got the save in e-mail, I think I can post it when I return back to my house. I may even just play my turn and then post the workable save.

PinkyGen · October 15, 2003, 18:24

Taking and playing the save. If someone has "choice", which allows DOS to run on XP computers, so I need not play on my labtop, I would appreciate it. Will post turn shortly.

The ANZAC · October 15, 2003, 18:59

Even though pinky will post the save, here it is again.
