What should the front line cities be producing win41/sum 42?

[Colwyn]

During winter we will have the oppurtunity to take back a few cities but remember with summmer 42 the german Airforce will be back to do some damage, what should the frontline cities have as a garison by default?

[EZRhino]

We should be carful not to make blanket generalizations when it come to city production. I think that this sort of thing is very case specific. We should endevour to maintain, and increase our flexibility. We cannot allow this to limit our options.

[Shaka Naldur]

we shouldn't reconquer any cities,
what we have to do is to kill as many german units as possible and make sure our front line is strong enough

as EZRhino I think that we don´t have to make generalizations but AA battery and KV-1 is what we need

[conmcb25]

If you want something to really hold it needs at least 2 KV-1's and 2 -AA's. I dont see that as a blanket statement really its more like a minimum requirement.

[H Tower]

if we're going to be building kv-1's and AA guns, may I suggest producing the Kv-1's in the begining months of winter and the AA guns at the end of winter? that way we won't have AA guns sitting around with nothing to shoot at while our tanks are outnumbered on the battlefield.

wasn´t thinking about that?

I meant reconquering cities in other region, cities like minsk, kursk, etc...

[EZRhino]

I think we should build a mine field in the square between Narva and Leningrad. Hopefully the Karl will be dead by winter but if it is not, if it is hiding inside Narva, then it will be near impossible to recapture.

Edit: whats the lastest count on the number of surviving T-28s?

Sounds like a good plan, but we need to reinforce the North first.

I like the idea for the AA guns built towards the end of winter, since the bombers cannot fly during the winter.

What about Kiev? How is Kiev holding?

it has 5 AA battery and 1 KV-1 inside the city
a few more units are left,
I think that the city has around 12-13 units, but I don´t think we'll be able to hold the city until winter

[Ben Kenobi]

Darn. Too bad we can't stuff Kiev with KV-1's. That would really hamper the Krauts.

At what difficulty are you playing? I know that it takes me at least 4 AA batteries to keep a city save from devestating air raids, plus a LOT of troops to keep it save from capture.

Yes, the Germans haven't seemed as bad as they could be....but then I wonder what the summer of '42 will look like
