Subj: Promotion to General in Chief of Soviet Armies in the Western Theaters
Due to intelligence which leads us to believe German forces will attack our borders, you have been promoted to command Soviet land, sea and air forces as of today. The previous commander, having failed in his duty to ready the forces for combat operations and for failing to detect the German build-up, been tried for incompetence and executed.
It is expected that you will do the utmost to drive the german invaders back and attack into enemy territory using every means available.
Comrade Stalin
And that is how I find myself friends Out of the blue Carnage sent me an e-mail asking for a game, apparently my writing ability for AAR's impresses him and maybe just maybe I can impress him with my skill at defending myself from all manner of sneaky tactics
Carnage and I have agreed to use the same house rules he and Redmarkus are using in their game as they seem fair. Here they are:
1. No Soviet AF attacks before '43.
2. No Soviet amphib landings prior to Jan '42 and none ever in the north or the map. Also, Soviets can't amphib west of Sevastopol if it's captured, same with no amphib west of Odessa if it's captured.
3. No Soviet amphib invasion of Romania as long as one Axis combat unit is based in Constansa
4. No pure checker board defense - each player must make a gentlemanly attempt to build a realistic front line. Defense in depth behind that front is allowed, of course.
5. No Romanian gambit to seek early release. If 11th Armee and the Romanians are released early due to creation of Lvov pocket, the Axis player agrees not to move them until their standard release date.
6. No Finnish move/attack until BOTH Leningrad AND Moscow are taken. The reason for this is that the Finns feared Stalin and they made diplomatic guarantees to the Soviets not to go beyond their historical borders. We don't believe they would have changed their view on this unless they were 100% convinced that the SU was beaten for good.
7. Soviet winter offensive deliberate attack limit of 3 Front commands per turn during winter '41-42. Other fronts can only conduct hasty attacks each turn. So, the SU cannot attack deliberately all along the front in any one turn, although Carnage will not know where the main attacks are going to come from. Hopefully, this will make for a more realistic first winter. From 42-43 winter onward, anything goes for both sides.
8. If the Axis player pulls his front back more than 5 hexes prior to the start of the winter '41 counter offensive (other than shortnening the line, etc.) this is considered a surrender - a coup has occurred and Hitler has been executed. (So, no retreat to Poland for the winter!)
Also the weather is non-random and the fort building is set to 80% of normal. Other than that life is good until Stalin decides I am no longer up to the task, then I get to see what life is like the the Gulag
First turn is in his hands and I will post screen shots as often as I can, real life permitting.
As always any Russian players or fans please chime in give me any advice you care to, as you never know what may work.
