1st Ukrainian front

[Bossy20000]

Will we be try to keep Belgorod? If we keep Belgorod, we could keep Kursk if they don't attack too much. They still haven't taken Gomel nor Bryansk, so they will have to split their forces to attack multiple cities. When we keep Belgorod, they won't be able to attack Kursk from the south, and we might just be able to hold on on Kursk. If we still have it in a few months, we could send more troops from Voronezh to reinforce the garrison, and then next winter Kiev could be ours again!!

For the Party and the Rodina!

[Shaka Naldur]

no, we are not keeping Belgorod take a look at the red line

[Bossy20000]

Well, you didn't mention it, so I thought you might want to keep it as a safe haven for our troops when they do raids in occupied territory! (It's on a river so 50% more defense)

Plus, there aren't orange arrows on the map pointing to Belgorod, so you aren't going to retake it???? Will you leave these people as slaves for the Germans? We must liberate ALL of our citizens!

[Shaka Naldur]

I liked the way the arrow looked going straight to Kharkov,
ALL of our citizens will be liberated

There are so many Nazi tanks, and we've just begun the summer. Will you be able to take most of them out with counterattacks?

[Shaka Naldur]

well, we will see

[PinkyGen]

Beograd seems too close to those Nazi tanks and isolated to be able to hold. I hope the river slows them down and many Germans die will trying tot ake it.

comrade Shemir, there is a T34 unit waiting in Orenburg for orders to travel the northern road to Vorenzh or the southern road to Serafmovich, if you would be so kind as to give them when you are commanding your front.

[FiGu]

Comrade Shemir, will you need any support with your offensive that you have planned on the Winter?
I've also planned to make a breakthrough in Perekop.

[Shaka Naldur]

marshall, I don´t think I understand the question

figu, I will start from Kursk and I will go south to Kharkov,
I don´t think i will need your help for this winter but we will have to get a long for the next turns

Reinforcements are heading your way, I want to know which town you want the T34 to arrive in

[FiGu]

This is what i had in mind.

1) You start your attack from Kursk while i start from Perekop.
2) Once the Dnepr River Cities are secured, i start an offensive against Stalino and Voroshilovgrad from Stalingrad and Rostov.
3) Once our Forces are reinforced in both fronts, we'll start an offensive towards Kiev and Odessa.


Do you like the plan?

EDIT: And Even a name for this operation would be good. how about Operation Flanking Damage.

[Shaka Naldur]

I like it a lot

that way we will have a three cities front, less cities to defend that the ones we have to defend right now

marshall,
send them to Voroznez rather than to Serafimovich

[Henrik]

At risk of sounding overly pesimistic I wonder if that plan isn't a bit overly ambitious...

This offensive if it fails will cost lots of units, units that will have to be replaced. While the southern fronts surely have no idea of what it's like to get few to no reinforcements we up north do. Just becouse you have loads of units doesn't mean you should risk them all (or for that matter the cities you are guarding with them currently, surely the Wermacht SG can still paradrop, along with the luftwaffe that might prove dangerous)...

There'll be a time for offensives, right now we should be carefull and not overextend ourselves.

I fear the hubris which is spreading among our front commanders

Just my opinion.
