1st Ukrainian front

[Shaka Naldur]

a few katyushas it is all I will need, with the ones I can rush buy it should be ok

colwyn told me he was going to send a few siberians for gomel and kiev
he can use them because in winter they will cross the marshes without a problem

[Colwyn]

Attack shaka you have over 30 armoured divisions now and many have been upgraded to the new t-34/85,

Belograd and Kharkov cannot stand against your might hit them with your Sturmoviks move your tanks in and then settle the planes in the newly captured cities.

Note: divisions newly equiped with T-34/85s are still getting used to their new tanks and can't be considered "Veterains" anymore. Suggest you bloody them against soft targets in the open before taking on more difficult enemies.

[Colwyn]

With a attack str of 11 unvet they still are a match for all but the toughest targets, as grenny says on the way wet their teeth with a inf unit or weak tanks.

kharkov and Belgorod has fallen, next turn poltava will be ours
comrade figu, what do you want me to do?
do I keep going or do I help you with your front??

[Colwyn]

Great work Shemir! With Kharkov in soviet hands the Kharkov to Minsk road is available to us, if you can move a unit or two to Kiev at some point I'll hand the city back to your troops.

Figu's front is huge, lots of nazi's are there, I guess what you and I can do Shemir is to pick off german units in the open.

once again a great victory taking Kharkov!

Captured Poltava against a token defense. No casualties(for us :P). Preparing for the offense against Kiev...

Greetings Troops, take a knee...

Your former Commander, Shemir Naldayev has been sent to the read for training our new recruits. He has been placed at a tank school at Chelyabinsk just in time for the new troops first exams.

I am now your commander and I expect you to fight like banshees when in combat with the fascists. We here at the 1st Ukrainian are on the verge of a majour assault on very key enemy 'fortress' cities. Once we form up, we must strike deep into the enemy lines we will take Vienna and Prague. Lovely prises for the terror our brave nation has faced. We shall show the enemy no quarter in the months to come, and I need to you to fight with tenacity that you've heretofor never known you had. I wish you luck, and for the Glory of the Motherland, We Shall Advance!

This month the 1st Ukrainian took the city of Kirovgrad. There we destroyed 2 Romanian divisions and 2 divisions of Wermacht. We occupied the airbase at (39,117) and will be sending planes there to support the 2nd Ukr, come springtime. We also intend to hand Kirovgrad over to the 2nd when they are ready to take command.

Preparations are underway to move on Bruno by way of Kracow. From there it is a equal distance to both Vienna and Prague. Kosice will be bypassed for now, as it is a fortress located in very mountainous terrain (city on mtn, the Horse would be pissed). It poses no threat to the intended assault.

This month, upon taking command, I was informed by the Marshal to prepare for a supposed counterattack in the Kursk sector come this summer. Apparently Sorge has been at it again, btu I find it hard to believe. Kusrsk is hundreds of km away from the front, how do they figure they tanks will get there? Either way, Our is not to wonder why...

I have no immediate requests for rushbuilding, Check the Kursh area for AT guns, they're cheap if you Marshal types are lookign for something fun to build.

It will be some time before my forces are poised to strike. They are spread all across the Ukraine on their way to the assebly points...

-VK.

Here is a shot of the capture of Kirovgrad AFB by Cossaks of the 1st Ukr. Note divisional emblem displayed...
