We will finish researching Advanced Flight II this month.

The poll we had suggested we should research "War Productivity" next (allows Kirov Tanks Works).
But I suggest that we research "Advanced Flight III" instead because otherwise we wont have the ground attack aircraft we need for summer 1942!

[Bossy20000]

Advanced flight III gives us the Sturmovhik, isn't it? Then I suppose this gives us a huge advantage in the summer, for it can kill several german panzers at a time! I follow your wise advice, Comrade!

[EZRhino]

I wholeheartedly agree.

For FEBRUARY '42

Rush build the airport in Chelybinsk. That will allow us to get TWO Siberians a month to the front vice one.

If you got any cash left Comrade Grenski then I could rush build a barracks or two, to begin production of Red Guards. Ill let you know where after next turn. Probably Ulyanovsk and Kuybyshev.

In a few turns, after I pop some Industry, a steel mill or three will be in order. Zlatoust, Orenburg and Kirov will be priorities. Currently all three are building the Steel Mills.

Then probably a third airport in Kirov.

Thats what Im thinking right now.

Do you do an IM? If so let me know, PM me or email me the IM and your handle. I do all of them via Trillian. We need to talk on a regular basis.

[Shaka Naldur]

and airport at vorozneh would be nice

[Bossy20000]

We should supply Serafimovich with at least one Sturmovik as soon as possible, to counter the large German attack in the summer. I think some event spearthrusts are heading to this city, so we will have to kill large amounts of tanks. Strumoviks can destroy and return in one turn, no matter what damage they take. We can use the ground units then to fortify and keep the city.

[Shaka Naldur]

i'll need a few stumoviks in both cities, not only to kill nazis units
also to haunt the ones are moving towards the urals

The Baltic front realy needs the Sea Port of Leningrad rush-rebuilt after it being sold off due to the poor handling of the soviet economy last turn...

[Bossy20000]

This port is a number one priotrity, because now Leningrad is not a very productive city, we can no longer make a KV-1 in 2 turns! If we don't build the port, I'm afraid that we will have to send some of our few reinforcemnts to Leningrd (this front builded a lot of its own units, I think)

[yop73]

Murmansk front does not desire any rush-buys this month. The front looks stabile and isn't vitally threatened.

1.Greeny makes stuff for us every turn by scrounging, begging, borrowing against our future, and outright stealing.

2. He hasn't gotten a single convoy/trade unit yet.

3. Last turn we had to rush buy SU-122's for the NW Front. Do you have any idea how expensive those things are, built from scratch with just disbanding one red guard?

4. Last turn I asked you why you were building arty in Novograd? And I suggested building canon fodder for Leningrad instead and you basically said NO Problem, I can attack the units before they get to the city.

5. After all this we get one undesireable sell off because of our efforts to support you guys and you call that mismanagement?

I dont think this needs to be a priority now. We only have 400+ Gold. The Leningrad front is stable. The South is going to have a bigger problem than you will have next summer, and if we dont start paying attention to Urals Build you wont have the Units you need to expell the Facists.

And in the short term if I dont get an airport in Chelybinsk we will only get one Siberian a turn from Sverdlosk vice two.

Everyone has to share the pain of this war. I suggest you suck it up and bear the pain with the rest of us instead of pointing fingers.

[Bossy20000]

I wasn't pointing at you. We all (should) know that you do things that are close to impossible, and it is not your fault that the sea port was sold. We could rush buy it, but I looked at it closer, and it will be rebuilt in 3 turns I think, and Leningrad should be able to hold position till the port is finished. You are right, comrade, we have other priorities!

For the Rodina and the Party!

[Shaka Naldur]

NKVD trooper at Saratov 72
the KV-1 at saransk will be built in two turns but it costs for next turn it is only 60, if I decide to hold some cities west of don I may need it soon so if we have a little money left...

btw, orks is going to starve and has a worker, if the worker joins the population of orsk we will solve the starving problem and we won´t lose the worker

[Henrik]

I wasn't saying it was your fault either. But realize this, my front has been getting very few reinforcements or rush buys, which is fine by me I have been able to build what I need (apart from the tanks borrowed from the murmansk front when narva fell, units I plan on and have allready begun returning in the long run).
I said no problem, and I still don't think it'll be a big problem. However, my main (only) reinforcements are those I build myself, and thus I need a good production if I am to be able to tackle any suprises or for that matter conduct offensives when winter comes around again.
