RedFront Tactics: Help Needed to Test Them
I'm interested in writing a Redfront 1.4 tactic for the 'Art of War' site. I need your help to test my ideas. I cannot do it by myself since this is a huge scenario and I may not be able to experience all possibilities. Any feedback is welcome. If somebody vulunteers to write the tactic for me I'm extremely appreciated.
I'll only demonstrate my own novice ideas. For other commonly known idea please check out Field Marshall Klesh's Strategy on the 'Art of War' site.
Part I--Summer 1941: Two major questions: Where to hold the line and how? Any chance to attack? I'll try to answer the first question. For the second please check out other threads of this forum (attack the Balkans and Finland are your best chances).
Situation analysis: You are severely outnumbered. Most of your cities cannot build good infantry. Your best Tank can be built is T34/85 and Your best defense unit can be built is AA battery. The good thing is: you only need to hold till Winter comes.
The best thing you can do is to concentrate your forces to a single city and try to hold it. With an anti-tank defense (city wall) and a barracks, your units can recover in one turn. But where?
Here comes my idea: You have 3 labor brigades in Moscow, 2 in Stalingrad, 3 in Leningrad, and one in the city north to Moscow. In June of 1941, rush build some freighters in selected cities, then in July 1941 ferry those labor brigades to the front using chain-trasportation.
To the north, build a city between Narve and Talinin (right on the fortified position), then pass through this city and ferry a labor brigade to the south and build another city on the fortified position as well.
To the south, you can find a fortified position south of Kiev, and another Northeast of Odessa. Build cities there.
I'm not sure about the center front. Is it possible to hold Minsk or Smolensk, with the help of the partisans? If it can't be done, then another city should be built on a spruce square to hold the front.
Don't forget to enter the city window and change the host cities for the fortified positions to the newly built cities. Rush build anti-tanks, then barracks. Move your other cities' defense forces to reinforce those new cities.
I believe this is the best chance for you to hold the front. The city south to Kiev is difficult to hold. It just slows down the German. Other cities should be able to hold and Mother Russia will be safe!
More to come.
