Requsition Forme Mar 1942

Belorussian Front

Critical rush buys :

Nikov - Barracks (please change) 20k
Arzamas - Barracks (please change) 160k (can't afford to disband)

Important requests :

Ryzev - Barracks 76k
Pavlov - Barracks 76k
Pytavlo - Anti tank def 154k
Bryansk - AA 136k

All up I'm only asking for less than 600,000 rubles. I hope that since were going to get 2,000,000 with the convoy that my front will get at least 1/3 of the budget this turn.

If these purchases are made "this" turn we are almost certainly going to hold the salient, if not it will be very hard.

Note : The following turn the only critical purchases will be Anti tanks def in Nikov and Arzamus.

Nikov, Arzamus and Smolensk will be the three fortress cities that will get german attention (away from other fronts)

Don't forget that the germans do attack this area hard again in summer 42 its not until many turns later in summer 42 that the stalingrad attack will occur.

I allready disbanded a red army. If the cruiser is incrementally rush bought it shouldn't be too expensive...

MARCH 1942 ARMAMENTS WISH LIST!

Priority One Buys:

CHELYBINSK-Airport-248. We REALLY need to fly Siberians from there.!

Ashkabad-Grain Elevator-44
Orsk-grain elevator-114
Zlatoust-grain elevator-92
I know Grain elevators aren't that sexy BUT without them in these cities I will never be able to get thru a productive winter without starvation.

Vorkuta-Power Plant-98
Its off the beaten path BUT will produce over 50 shields after this buy. Next turn Ill start an airport and then Ill start cranking out units.

Priority Two Buys:

Kollectiv-Kazan-50
Kollectiv-Aralsk-70

Gorkiy is about to start a Katyusha, is that really what we want?

[yop73]

Nope, build a KV-1.
We don't have enough KV-1 tanks to defend our cities properly.

That was my thought. Anyone else?

[Bossy20000]

We need defensive units there to help protect Rostov and the surrounding cities! Change it in a KV-1

KV-1s built in Gorki will hardly help out near Rostov

Colwyn doesn't need reinforcements. He is always on the attack. All he needs to hold a city is a red guard and an AA or two...................

[Colwyn]

I'm so desperate for troops..

That old woman and men will do, the germans don't have much ammo, even better send me gulag prisoners, druggies and other enemys of the state. Next winter Kayusha's will be needed by this front to take back key cities, we need to have some places building a stockpile of them now. If not Gorkiy another needs to be allocated this role now. Ideally a airlift every few turns to Smolensk/Moscow with one would be good.
