March 1942: Convoys arrive!

[H Tower]

We lose only 6 units this turn, mostly partisans
Kherson has a LOT of planes in it (more than 6 maybe)
zangalov builds barracks
ulyanovsk builds barracks
yarensk builds barracks
kubyshev builds barracks
perm builds labor brigade
disorder in perm
labor brigade from vitebesk lost
leningrad builds sea port
Siberians Airlifted to Grozny

I have a few observations to make:
*It's going to be hard to get Siberian reinforcements to the 1st Ukranian Front Quickly, they have to fly into Moscow and then take a winding road to go South, an airport in Saransk or Saratov would cut travel time down, just an idea though.
*Rostov doesn't have enough tanks, and they aren't coming up fast enough from the Caucaus.
*Outside of Archangalesk, it should be 2 Red Army and an AA battery moving south, not 4 Red Army
*The Partisans in the Marshes are being hit pretty hard, with the Germans advancing into the marshes
*I can't believe part of the Stalin Line has survived this long! (It's just north of Gomel)
*We have a single cruiser and destroyer guarding the convoys, soon we're going to need to build more escorts, simply because the transports just won't be able to get through the guantlet of German ships and planes.
*Hopefully we'll be close to Hammerfast this turn, winter will not last longer.

Commanders, please wait at least 12 hours before playing your part, please take the time to discuss strategy for your front.

We could fly them into Stalingrad they can easily get to Rostov or Serafimovich from there. I still think we need an airport in Chelybinsk so we can fly two Siberians in a turn. And hopefully by the end of summer there will be turns when the built units in the Urals need to be flown in two at a time.

If we are able to keep the stalin line, it becomes a Yak-9 I think
We just need more reinforcements everywhere, but you are right, Rostov is vulnerable
I already talked with comrade Yopov about Archangelsk, I don't know what he is going to do with it though
When does Summer start? In April or in May?

May, the month of May, the fifth month in the calendar year. April is the last month of winter.

Everybody got it now?

After having thought things through I've canceled the attack aimed to destroy Pskov for now, instead I'm preparing a raid on Talinn as I know by experience that the AI tends to stack it's planes there during winter often without any protection from other units.

For this reason I will also ask for a rush buy from the economic minister of one cruiser (or destroyer if that's more affordable).

Apart from this all german unit's in sight have been killed off, including the headghog off Novgorod.

Command Structure Change

Important Command Structure Change
Today I wish to announce the "retirement" of the General of the 2nd Ukranian Front, Paul Hanson. Reasons of ill health that developed this winter prompted the retirement. I want to kill the rumors right now that a General could be appointed a command and not posess the required Revolutionary fervor that is necessary to our Socialist struggle against the Fascists. The State does not make mistakes and will not tolerate such talk.

Comrade Patiskov Figiskovsky (FiGu) has accepted Rodina's invitation to serve as commander of the 2nd Ukranian Front and ascends to that position immediately.

[Shaka Naldur]
