Victory Conditions Poll

[H Tower]

Everyone's so confident we'll win, they're all clamoring to set up the conditions under which we declare victory.

[Ben Kenobi]

Of course! There's a pool set up for when we win.

If we win of course.

I say wipe out the Germans entirely, and the Finns. Leave no stone unturned.

It's cool to watch the guillotine animation at the end anyways.

[Shaka Naldur]

let's say some key cities, I know in summer 1943 if you capture some cities the nazis get a special tech with new units

I say we should conquer those cities that Nemo consider fundamentall in other to win

[conmcb25]

I say wipe out the Germans and Two main advances. One to Berlin the other to Ploesti.

After we take those key areas it will be a Mop Up!

And of course keep the Americans from getting much of anything in Germany, those Capitalist Pigs!

[yop73]

Victory by capturing every city, excluding the US base. Yes, attack the Swedes, they are also our ennemies.

[Bossy20000]

Taking every German and Finnish city (but not necessarily the Swedish)

Attacking towards Berlin and an invasion in Galati to take Ploesti and maybe Belgrade

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Victory, by wiping out the Germans. It's not all that hard to grab Ploesti, and a thrust through Minsk-Warsaw to Berlin makes it too easy.

[H Tower]

I was checking the map for once we get into Germany, it could be tricky, but I think we can maintain the same number of fronts

[PinkyGen]

I think we will have won if we take Berlin and advance to the Adriatic. I think a great victory would be to crush the Germans and capture as many cities as possible before the Americans wipe them out.

[Bossy20000]

Oh, I forgot to mention that we also need to invade Finland this winter if possible (or even earlier) to get rid of this threat to our most northern fronts. Once we have taken Finland, we will have many troops now guarding our cities that will be available for offensives against Germany

For the rest, I think we should try to take most of Germany BEFORE there are Americans on the map! In real life there were borders agreed upon in Jalta, but we don't need to follow these. Just grab as much as we can, and free these people of Capitalism

[greeny]

A strait dash to Berlin and then claiming victory would be too easy (and not very realistic), then again if we try to take every city on the map once victory is assured I think people would lose interest and it would get tedious. I would say we have poll and decide on a number of key cities we have to take before we claim victory. These should be such that Germany and her allies are effectily dismantled with no hope of recovery but doesn't neccisarily have every single city ocupied. (much like when the historical surrender was signed in 1945)

Having a look at a map I would say that in addition to all former Soviet territory and all Polish territory as of 1939 we must take:

Berlin

Bucharest+Ploiesti, Belgrade, Budapest, Vienna, Prague, (so we can install pro-Soviet Government er.. I mean let the people of Eastern Europe take thier place in our Socialist Paradise )
(Copenhagen and Oslo as-well would be even better )

Munich, Nurnberg, Hannover, Hamburg (Destroy the lair of the Facist beast).

This should give all the front commanders plenty to do once we start taking the 3rd Reich apart (In fact since by that time our Economy and Industry will be producing more that we could ever need; us office-bound Politburo members could even have our own pet Fronts to take care of since our advancing front line will be so huge).

[EZRhino]

I would tend to agree with greeny; it would take forever to take all of the Nazi cities, it would be more realistic to go for the major cities in the on the mainland of Germany and the capitals of the Facist allies.

In the coming winter our attacks should be limited and localized, focusing on the Ukrainian fronts. We need to save our units for the massive pushes wich will happen later, for the Germans can frustrate our creeping attacks farily easily.

[Bossy20000]

If we won't take all the cities, I think we should take all those of the Warsaw Pact, together with key German cities, as listed by Greeny. We could assign different front commanders to different objectives, as for example take at least one Italian city etc by organizing combined attacks.

[greeny]

Sounds good Comrade Bossy20000

[Iron Chancellor]

I support the Greeny campaign. We must liberate the oppressed peoples from jack-boot capitalist thugs and the mystifying oppressors
