Ditto

BTW Anzac what gives with the Marshalls avatar?

Isnt that supposed to be reserved for, well me?

Or are you planning a coup? You know I have sent people to the Gulag for less. And depending upon the upcoming political struggle I could be looking for a job.......

Just a friendly nopte of advice.

I thought you hadn't sent anyone to the Gulags yet?

Many have gone you just dont know about it.

2 KV-1s and 2 AAs is a good starting point.

However - the Germans will throw a lot of tanks at Rostov, so we will want at least a half dozen KV-1s there, and a similar number of AA. More KV-1s is better in key cities like that.

And I'd recommend building a few Shturmoviks once we have the tech. They're great for killing German units left out in the open, once summer comes. Katyusha and T-34s have the risk of not being able to retreat to a city if damaged... that's not a problem with attack planes.

Agreed, Rostov and Perikop are the cities that will need the most humugus garrisons if we want to hold them, with loads of KV-1s, AAs and some artillery for taking out stacks of units just outside the city.

When I played last, the Germans threw literally dozens and dozens of tanks at Rostov in October '42. They were lined up along the north shore of the sea of (Azov ?). Cruisers and Shturmoviks did a great job of taking out many stacked German units before they got close enough to attack Rostov. And in Rostov, I had at least 10 KV's, plus 4 or 5 AA, plus 4 or 5 LA-5's... and it was still a close call!

the ukrainian fronts will be heavily attacked in the next summer, Rostov and perekop must be well defended

[Bossy20000]

Yes, when I play I always put everything in there what I can spare. I'm playing a RF right now, and I have in both cities more then 40 units, because the Germans attack with enormous amounts of troops. I normally prepare as many artilleries and Katyushka's as possible to take out the pontoon bridge as soon as possible (altough this costs a LOT of these units), so that they can't keep huge stacks of units at the gates of Stalingrad without me being able to do something (together with the pontoon bridge, it cost him 40 units, against 15 or so from me which I find a good trade for a safe Stalingrad)

Actually, if you look at the avatar thread, I am using a field general avatar!

No you are using the marshall one from the top.

I would prefer that the front commanders use the brown general a few spaces down.

You guys are "in the feild" anyway and should use that uniform.

And Im not the only one irritated by this. I talked to H Tower about it last night.

So the decision is yours but impersonating the Marshall is a Gulag bound offense!

[The ANZAC]

no, look at the guy right next to the brown general, that's what I'm using

But if you insist, I'll change it back

Thats the same as the Marshall look at the first avatar.

Yes I would appreciate that.

Actually, if you look closely, all the medals are off (like the one on the second row!!), but you're right they do look similar

It's not the same look more closely!

They are similar enough for me. And I would prefer our Front Commanders where the brown uniform.

I want to be the ONLY one with that uniform.

(And think about it the Marshall whether me or someone else should get a distinct avatar) Its one of the few benefits you get from a thankless job that certainly isn't as fun as a front commander!)

Enough said and case closed on this OK? And thanks again for changing ANZAC.
