What are the command positions?
Convoy duty and Murmansk front fall to Marshal's command if not enough people are available.

Grand Northern Front: Baltic Sea south to Brno. West of Vienna (including Vienna). Goal Cities: Vienna, Venezia, Trieste

Grand Southern Front: South of Vienna, capture Balkans. Goal cities: Budapest, Belgrade, Tirana

Turn Report:
Marshal Part 1 (HTower): DONE
Grand Northern Front (Anzac?): NOT YET
Grand Southern Front (???): NOT YET
Scandanvian Front (???): NOT YET
Civilian Ministers (Conmcb25?): NOT YET
Marshal Part2 (HTower): NOT YET

I have no idea whose around, who wants a job, etc. Who ever steps forward will get a job. I have an idea that if a general doesn't play within 5 days of the turn being posted, anyone (within reason) can play for him. 7 days after turn being posted, Marshal will play when he has the time. This will hopefully encourage generals to play and keep the game going. Thoughts?

possible front definitions

The army is spread from Coppenhagen to Odessa, the germans are still spawning in places, (I think) so anything can still happen to slow down the advance. I think that the Grand Northern Front will turn south and advance into Italy, the Grand Southern Front will take over the balkans after taking Odessa.

I think that (for now anyways) the border between the two fronts should look something like this, with the pie piece being up for grabs by either command, although I suspect that the Northern Front will get them first.

Scandnavian Front

I want to start diverting a sizable portion of our new troops to this front, this is the one that will take the longest to finish off since the Germans can trade space and cities and we still won't finish them off for a while. The immediate problem that jumps out at me is that we are very road poor in this area, we should send some labor brigades to get a road going from murmansk or Kemi west. If the swedes get in our way, that's their problem, they shouldn't have protected the Fascists from us. That nazi cruiser that ended up in the lake finally died attacking some of our troops, so obstacle is finally gone and we can move units through that area without as much trouble.

Would an attack into Southern Norway from Denmark be possible? we'd need to build a medium sized navy to compete with the Germans, but we should be able to do that easily enough with all the cash we're getting

Cool!

I will try and PM those who have been interested in this game and posted in the start up again thread.

DEATH to the FASCIST PIG DOGS!!!!!!

[The ANZAC]

I agree with Con and I'll take Grand Northern and post in a bit...

[The ANZAC]

Ok I finished my turn (I think, I'm a little cloudy on jurisdictions {ie Kosice and how far back} but we can clear that up as we go along.

Captured: Wihelmshaven, Kiel, Prague, Vienna.

Also the reason why the Yugoslavs captured Sarajevo is because they have an artillery piece!

Tito has retaken Sarajevo so it can be taken over--I mean Liberated by the Forces of the Rodina!

Turn Report:
Marshal Part 1 (HTower): DONE
Grand Northern Front (The ANZAC): DONE
Grand Southern Front (???): NOT YET
Scandanvian Front (???): NOT YET

Go back as far as you think neccesary to grab units that you can use for your turn, I'll move forward any that fall through the cracks.

[conmcb25]

Good plan

[The ANZAC]

Thanks for the welcome back. H, I'll go back as far as I think I need. Now let's go kick some Nazi @$$

[conmcb25]

HTower, whats next?

I sent PM's to everyone, the only answer I got was from PinkyGen in the Exodus forum where he said if I dont play a front soon, dont come looking for me.

The majority of the PM's I sent out, have not even been opened yet.

You and Anzakov nay have to just split the front, and Ill do ministers till someone else shows up. (if they show up)

[H Tower]

I'll play as soon as I finish Exodus, you can finish up the civilian jobs tonight for both games.

Kherson drestoyed after attack by artillery and Katyusha, no losses!

Update on offensive Operations:
Kherson Destroyed

In the Marshal's opinion, this was a very good month for the Soviet Grand Southern Army
