The Belorussian Front HQ - (Darius)

[Bossy20000]

We should start building the electrification wonder in Moscow and rush buy it next turn with the money we get from sellin powerplants. This will boost production in cities not having powerplants right nnow, and will give us a higher cash surplus every turn as we won't have to pay for the upkeep of all those plants anymore!

For the rest, very good job, comrade Pavlov. I understand you are eager to free our Polish brothers, but we might consider first to eliminate the threat to russian cities as Gomel, Kursk, Bryansk, etc by attacking the German siuthern armies. Your colleagues at the southern fronts are having a hard time to fight of there massive hordes!

Action report July 1942

Another russian city liberated, the drive to Berlin continue's.

Salient expanded and units moved to support comrade Shaka's front esp Gomel.

Sturmoviks will be repaired next turn and could be used to support other fronts if needed.


Tip : Use cossacks to scout in enemy's ZOC this allows you to bypass enemy units and take cities utalising their defences rather than be left in the open for a counter attack

[Colwyn]

This is the action plan for July 1942

Sorry I didn't get it dispatched 24 hrs before my turn, though it also ensure's it remains a secret and the germans don't get wind of it.

[Bossy20000]

Very nice, but you give me a lot of work comrade. I was writing an article anout the liberation of Minsk and before it is even posted, you already take another city How do you want me to get my journalists there in time if you don't let us know it in advance

Very good job!

[Colwyn]

I see great things ahead

Very good job!

Warsaw next turn, city near berlin the next and Berlin by summers end.

You know, when we finish this Demo-game we should write the definitive Red Front v1.4 strategy guide based on our experience. And we should use the Belorussian front as a major case-study of excellent frontline tactics! Very well done Comrade! Don't slacken of until we've reached the Atlantic!

[Bossy20000]

We will soon have our conference in Poznan! Who needs Jalta? Let us just take the entire world, and not split Germany!

[Colwyn]

Action plan for August.

Advance & Advance, though I may give warsaw a miss this turn so I can bring up some artillery and kayusha's a major city like that is bound to have AA 88's and a hedgehog or two.

The german offensive has stalled my ground units as they were damaged in heavy fighting but held the line.

I will retool all our unneeded hydro and power plans now that we have unlimited power accross the continent!

[Colwyn]

Battle Plans

Take Brest this turn, clear units around warsaw, bring up artillery to take Warsaw next turn.

Let ground units at Bialystok repair.

[PinkyGen]

This could just be nothing but paranoia, which is very healthy in the Soviet Union but...
Is there a risk of German units attacking your southern flank up from Lvov, and more importantly, Kiev?

[Bossy20000]

Won't Brest Litovsk disappear if we take it? Isn't it better to wait until it has size two, so that we have a springboard against Lublin and Lvov?

[FiGu]

yes, i suggest that you halt the advance for awhile.. so we southern front can support your flanks.

[Shaka Naldur]

yes colwyn, you are doing an excellent job, but I think it is a good idea if you make your offensive helping other flanks,
specially the second ukrainian front is very screwed

excellent job anyways

Don't forget Fog of War, I'm betting that the city hasn't been within sight of a Soviet Union combat division for a full year. The city could well have grown to size 5 from German troops ravaging the Soviet women there We must liberate the city!

[yop73]

The German dogs will have to pay for that. I say we do the attack this turn.
