North-West Front HQ

[Dr. Nick]

Pravda has thanked our great Comrade General Anzyakov for the fine photographs of his great offensive.

[H Tower]

comrade Field Marshal Georgi Anzyakov, what is happening on your front?

[The ANZAC]

Nothing so far. Hoping I can take advantage of the winter...

[Colwyn]

Do you plan

To take back Kholm and Veilkie Luki this winter?

[The ANZAC]

Possibly, I just need a few more offensive units, which are rolling in right now, so bets are yes

[Bossy20000]

Be sure to ask the Marshal, because we are brainstorming on many (bold) plans in several threads, and I don't think we can do them all in the same season. We might need units elsewhere, so it might be wise to take defensive positions. There is no point in taking cities and then losing them, together with some of our valuable units. We will need to reinforce the cities on the Don, plus Stalingrad and Rostov, for soon the pontoon bridge will be there, together with a lot of units, aiming towards Stalingrad.

I think next winter will be the time to launch a fullscale offensive, and try to beat the Germans out the Baltic States! We should however learn to start our offensives immediately when winter begins, so we can take as long as possible advantage of our better winter warfare abilities. Plus, we will need a coordinated attack, on all fronts, so they can't send any reinforcements to counter one of our attacks without leaving some gap(s) elsewhere.

Just my opinion, I'm not the marshal, nor a commander, nor an advisor to STAVKA. I can only draw your attention to certain things, and hope some people mentioned above will keep this in mind.

I dont disagree Comrade but there is a point to doing this. Depriving the facists of a city even for a few turns disrupts his reinforcing with more units. (Captured cities are spawning points!)

I think that is the reason we are planning this offensive on this front in conjunction with the Belorussian front.

I do what my Marshall tells me. Its up to him and the Front Commanders where they want to attack.

Although I do agree right now we can not do everything everywhere!

[Bossy20000]

Exactly my point, comrade! I think we will need to point out some priorities, for our resources are not unlimited (although our workers are the best in the world, working for their country the best they can)

[H Tower]

There are now 4 SU-122's that are available to attack Khlom! Plus two Siberian Regiments that can be used in a follow on support role. However, if you decide not to attack, one of the SU-122's south of Kalinin is to be handed over to the Belorussian Front


EDIT: wrong attachment

[The ANZAC]

If Colwyn is up for it, I will attack. Are all 4 of those units in the stack for the North-West Front?

[H Tower]

that's the plan, although no movement points are left for the siberian soldiers

But I think they move like red guards, you might have to check rules text on that. If its closer thay may be able to just go right thru the woods.

I would check that out Anzac.

[The ANZAC]

Yeah they move jsut like partisans and red guards in the winter. I think I may be able to move them in t position in time then!

[conmcb25]

Ya with 8 attack and 6 defense. Ignore Anti tank defenses too!

ASSAULT troops.

Were gonna kick some Nazi A$$, were gonna kick some Nazi A$$!

Ill see what I can do to rush some Red Guards in the vicinity to back up the offensive. (Defensive troops to hold ground after the offensive.)
