STAVKA: Military Council of Commanders

[EZRhino]

No that is not the issue, it is irrelevant wether we built them or not, selling anti-tank defences with the intention of destroying the city is cheating. Plain and simple.

Edit: Oh, yes. And also I think that the defence of Stalingrad takes precidence over Kotelnikovo.

I'm not sure if the German 'fortified positions' are as strong as ours are - but I managed to take out the pontoon bridge in winter 1942-3, with 2 or 3 Katyushas. So, it doesn't take a lot of units - but then again the bridge may be weaker in winter?

Nonetheless, we should not sacrifice the defense of Rostov to save Kotelnikovo.

Very well said! Whoever speaks of taking a risk with the defense of Rostov should be sent to the front to search for German mines

You need to use partizans to take out the bridge. It'll cost you about 5,6 of them.

[EZRhino]

Yes, it is imperitive that we concentrate as many partisans and cruisers on the don as is possible.

[Bossy20000]

We need to kill them before they reach our cities, which means we habve to get rid of the pontoon bridge as soon as possible. Unfortunately, most of are partisans are at other fronts, and are needed there for the defense of the cities We will have to counter the attack waves during some months!

PS I thought somebody said somewhere that if the Germans take Rostov, and we retake it, they lose all their units east of the Don. Is this true (it's a rumor I picked up somewhere, I never lost Rostov, but it could help us here if they break through!!!! We let them take Rostov, and retake it the next turn, so they lose most of their units attacking our more vulnerable cities)

"letting" the germans take Rostov could also mean that they stack anywhere from 50-100 units in the city in just one turn though. It seems awfully risky

Ditto!

[Bossy20000]

I agree, I was only brainstorming! Plus, this was a test to check the loyalty of everybody here If you would have said yes, you would be on your way to the Gulag right now

No, serious, I know it is very risky, but if they break through, it might be our only option left! BTW, I don't know if this rumour is true, I never lost Rostov.

[FiGu]

I will not evac/leave from Rostov unless im forced to!


I will defend the city to the bitter end!

But if that rumor is true, we could try..

[The ANZAC]

I'm not willing to let them take the city and counter-attack. We should try and hold it as long as possible.

That's the true spirit, comrade! If we lose Rostov, it will certainly be your bitter end

Just kidding

Not if you uhm... you got "silented"(killed) before that
just kidding

I would certainly vote to oust the Marshal if the decisions of his handpicked commanders cost us Rostov! If Rostov falls, we have little else in that area to stop the Germans; losing Rostov could cost us the war.

6 Kv-1's in Rostov are ready to kill some Krauts!
You leaders of the USSR do not have to worry about losing your summer houses in Rostov.
