The Baltic Front HQ (Henrik)

[conmcb25]

Henrik could you post here from time to time what happened at your front? Thanks!

Below is Narva after a massive attack from the Germans. It held but will soon need that KV-1 (or several) to continue holding.

Henrik do you remember how many units you killed in those two stacks in the counterattack? Ill bet there was more than the usual two units in each stack.

We need details if Im going to give you another medal.

Total Units left in Narva is attached below:

Henrik how many units did you lose total?

Were they mostly Red Army Non Veterans?

[Henrik]

First, it's the Baltic front not the Leningrad front :-p

4 in the northern stack and 3 in the southern one.
Furthermore the panzer 3 stacks to the south where both 2 tanks each (killed by our glorious airforce and partisans).


As far as I know I haven't lost a single red army yet (however unfortunatly quite a few naval infantry's, and we do anticipate the loss of such units in the future).

Furthermore the road to Demyansk has been pillaged anticipating a German attack...

Bellow is a reconosaince photo of the current front situation:

Thanks Henrik

Sorry about the screw up in names, I ask H to change it.

Seems like NO ONE liked what I did yesterday. No wonder H Tower needed a break You guys are worse than my wife. I didn't think that was possible! I think Ill just have to line up some new Front Commanders and then start some PURGES

[Shaka Naldur]

does Tikvin have a barracks??
you are going to need some units there, I don´t know why but the ai moves to the forest NE of novogorod

It looks like holding Narva is going to be difficult

What is Leiningrad producing? We should begin getting Cruisers while we wait for the Karls.

[Henrik]

I'd rather have Kv1s than cruisers but currently Leningrad is in unrest due to the loss of the social pragmatism wonder and therefore is producing nothing

Yes yes, I have always seen the Karls down south. Crimea area.

[EZRhino]

The 3 Karls are created by events to attack Leningrad and Sevestopol.

[Shaka Naldur]

yes, but it is easier to defend Sevastopol without perekop than to defend leningrad without narva

we are going to haveproblems if we lose narva

Really? What event generates the Karl in Lenningrad? I am on my fourth game of Red Front and have only seen them down south in the Crimea.

[Henrik]

Currently the defence of Narva is more important than the eventual appeareance of fascist super weapons. The Baltic front will ask for more than one KV1 over the next few turns...

[Henrik]

Ok, with the new turn grave news has reached us. Despite having stationed the bulk of my army in Narva the city has now fallen (taking more than 20 units with it). A karl seige mortar is at the gates of Leningrad and the city itself is so poorly guarded that it will fall easily to the fascist invadors unless we do something.
The loss of Narva also means that the Baltic front has lost the Kv1 regiment that was going to be assigned to it, as the tanks where being constructed in that very city.
Comrade Henrikov has begun preparing for his trip to the Gulags but will try to save the situation given the opertunity. Does anyone have any advice to impart on me?
Currently I am thinking of rushing as many units into Leningrad as possible, possibly attacking the karl with the few offensive units I have...

Bring lots of blankets comrade!

Seriously the only units near that could help are probably the ones in Viipuri. That means we lose Viipuri next turn if we save Lenningrad.

And in all reality Im not sure there is anything we can do? What is nearby that is going to knock out a Karl?

Thats the real question.

Good luck while Im drinking heavily in my Dacha comrade, if I didn't like you so well you would be on your way already......

Obviously it is the Fall of Narva. As a Front Commander I have not lost Narva yet (in my four SP games) so I never got the event. Thanks I just answered my question.

By the way airlifting units is out, they will get intercepted, I tried and cancelled at the beginning of the turn.
