STAVKA: Military Council of Commanders

[N35t0r]

Not only Galati can be reached in 1 turn, but it is also usually lightly defended... by sending a couple of transports with an accompanying sturmovik or two to knock out the defenses, the city can be easily taken....

with a couple of tanks to patrol the surroundins and knock out nazi troops (mainly romanian inf... they don't have a large industrial output in the area for lots of fancy stuff) but careful to have enouh move to go back should do the trick... a few AA's should also be necesary, but i didn't recieve air attacks....

after that, the city is safe for katyusha reinforcements from sebastopol (perhaps building them in the urals also?).... during winter, (or next summer for more move and air support), when enough katy's (and assorted other units) are present, the offensive should be launched...

[N35t0r]

oh, and a couple of siberian t 34's and katys should be airlifted to sebastopol for the invasion... i wouldn't take much of perekop's troops... the city ets heavily pounded if the spawning germans just to the north aren't picked up before the end of turn...


and yes, the convoy wonder adds two move, it is there instad of magallean's... the one that adds one move and produces veteran ships is the lihthouse (admiralty in leninrad in this ame)

Artillery Comrades will solve your problems with 88's etc not the Kayusha's AT12 but the normal 2 mv variety AT14!

Normal artillery is being under estimated, I find it the winning item in taking germans cities.

Make sure you have 2-3 artillery pieces for this offensive with a kv1 to protect them. ie unload all units it a defensive square ie forest, mountain, river then next turn attack or take a coastel city mv in and attack same turn.

One problem though:
If we do take bucharest now it won't cause the romanians to surrender as it simply isn't part of the events file yet.
We need to wait further for that to happen (perhaps we ought to not take the city at all so as not to make it impossible for them to surrender in the future).

[H Tower]

when does the event show up? during the coming winter? Or do we need to wait for next summer?

[N35t0r]

take the coastal city and ploiesti.... if ploiesti has 88 guns, then it will be quite hard to take... i think that it is safer this way, concentrating on one city at a time...

bucharest can be left for later, in fact, during winter red guards should be sent tripping through the carpathians in order to disrupt axis troop movements towards the front... this will greatly ease the burden on the southern fronts...

[H Tower]

HsFB, will you be joining the civgroup?

[N35t0r]

i could, rigt?

wait a second...


there...

[greeny]

Are you sure Romanian surrender is an actual event? I thought it was just that all the Romanian Infantry units are homed to Bucharest so all get destroyed. Does anyone know for sure?

[yop73]

It's an actual event. It disbands all Romanian infantery.

I definitely think we should be watching out for Citadel.

I think we should discuss that: how are we going to deal with the units created behind our front line in june/July '43? The southern frtons will move ahead and the germans will appear right behind our lines; not good...

[EZRhino]

Panthers and Tigers and Ferdinands, oh my!

[The ANZAC]

Yeah the name Ferdinand really makes me quake in my boots

[PinkyGen]

One idea: Keep a few sturmovicks in the area, hopefully we can kill them in droves.

[Colwyn]

Can that happen?

I though that if you take stageing areas away from the germans ie fortress/cities that they cannot do it, ie on my front nothing is appearing and i'm sure there must be some events that create/move units there even now??

Very internesting point!
