How long will Minsk hold !

[Colwyn]

Looking at the last saved file, how long do you think we will be able to hold Minsk.

[The ANZAC]

I don't have high hopes that we can contain the Fascist Huns this early in the game, but just wait...just wait...

[Ben Kenobi]

They'll kick up their boots and push elsewhere, to the northern front.

Then again, what do I know?

[H Tower]

I think that with the forces on hand the Red Army can hold on till October if they are lucky. Otherwise the gallant defenders will fal in September

[Shaka Naldur]

I'll have to take a look at the save file but I wouldn't expect to hold more then one or two turns

[Colwyn]

Where is the shirker who said minsk will fall in July

I expect nothing less than the sentancing of that person to a penal battalion!

Where are the cowards who said minsk is going to fall this turn(Aug), are you deserting? Take a look at the NKVD battalion in the fortress behind minsk. Seven grams of steel await you should you retreat.

Personally I think my command can hold out till Sept!

[Shaka Naldur]

but colwyn, is it worth the effort?
I've never tried to do it before and I know you've play rf quite a lot so...

But have you seen what happens when minsk falls, general pavlov gets sent to moscow and is shot (look at my russianfied name!)

No seriously I'm not going to put anymore into it, I was just making sure it would hold till Aug/Sept as it can fall in July/Aug if you don't do enough. It also gave us time to get a few pe2's and labor brigades in to build a minefield to try to hold smolensk/vietbsk.

[Shaka Naldur]

and what are your plans right now,
will you try to hold both cities?
I've managed to do that tons of times but I do the UK airlift cheat

I agree with colwyn anything we can do to delay to reinforce the Smolensk/ Vitebsk salient is a good thing.

Imho we should not attempt to hold minsk at all so the poll is of academic importance

However I suppose it's up to the front commander in charge and not me

it kind of seems we're stripping the defense of smolensk so that we do hold minsk for a while longer though, troops keep moving towards minsk

[greeny]

Colwyn: what do think the odds are on Minsk holding on until next turn?
If your fairly sure it will hold I can cut the luxury rate down without risking mass dissent
(Minsk holds the Soviet Pragmatism happiness wonder for those that don't know)

[Henrik]

I think it will hold at most one more turn.

[Colwyn]

Holding Minsk

80% sure it will hold (just) one more turn!
