What do you guys think, are the "fortified batteris" the same value as the "fortified positions? I think the latter has a health meter, whilst the other doesn't or at least you don't see it. I'm thinking theat the batteries (the concrete ones) are more powerful defenders. BTW- I'm not bothering to look in the rules.txt or whatever it is...
I started RF again, this time on Colonel level. I'm trying to move the fortified positions around. Have you guys been able to get any into Moscow? Since they can't be 'activated' for a move, there is no way to airlift one there. Also the river isn't wide enogh for a freighter to steam one up.
Surprisingly, the Germans are giving me a hard time at Moscow!
They usually are more interested in the south, but with
"fortified positions" in Sevastopol, Kerch and Rostov they are focusing up at Da Kapital! I managed to get a "fortified battery" into Leningrad, but by an embarrasing turn of events, I wasn't able to get the second one there, and it was stuck on a freighter in the lake just North of Leningrad. So I put it up in Kitalea(sp?) to hold down against the Finns. This is kinda a waste of the unit, but I can't get it to the town just East of Leningrad (because the Germans just captured it!). That town would have been a better place for itinstead of Kitalea. I'm holding Leningrad fine, but the Germans are moving a little south, and are have taken Cherepovits, and are threatening to break out into the Urals at several points.
I wasn't able to set up the first turn for full fortified position movement. I hadn't decided if I was going to do it or not. I could have scouped up a few more of them. Some of them I built a city on, but kept them there, building anti-tanks defenses and keeping the Germans from breaking into the backcountry. I've got some KV1's going...starting to hold my ground now. I think they will get into the east and take some cities. It's the first snowfall, so I'll be moving lots of Siberian units into the backcountry to hold down the fort. I'm definately finding the difficulty level increase to be effecting my game.
I'm getting my airforce going soon. Exclusively Il-2's, they will ease much preasure off of the front. Those bad boys can take out close to 20 units per turn!!!
Just got my guard units, I haven't checked for the tanks, but many infantry have been promoted so far.
Unfortunately, the last turn befor the winter the Germans captured Kiev. I shed a tear as the capital of my ancestral homeland fell, vowing to return with avengance.
I had some more questions too...I can'rt remember them now. I'll think of them soon.
I'll keep y'all posted on my progress...

It does make sense now that I think about it, but from a strategy standpoint it really is too bad. I may still try to hold the two central front special cities (kollectiv north and ibza south) that I am building since they are on rivers and good geographically, but maybe I will just fortify them. The Ibza will at least have its 50% bonus...
