I am very, very, very busy these next two weeks, I can barely scrap some time to do my Central Front this turn. All my PBEMs are on break.

Since psych0 has done the evacuation last turn, I delegate to him the privilege of pressing the End Turn button this turn.



Oh oh, the German team will probably start raging again haha.

Alright, so Psych0 will do the end turn. I will get my **** together on my PC. and we will be waiting 2 weeks for your return.

Do not worry I wont do anything extreme like disband all soviet armour divisions and brigades, and then assign 5 independent armour regiments per army HQ (cough). Seriously I will NOT do anything crazy and I am more then qualified to handle the turn from a game hours played stand point. Did I mention I am also very humble

I will find time to do it tonight. It was not my intention to let you people drag on for two weeks because of me.

Air Command goes first, however. As soon as wallas is done with his Turn I'll come in.

To: General of the Army thedoctorking, Northern Front; General of the Army psych0, Southern Front; General of The Army drakken, Centre Front

July 10th, 1941

Southern Front Plan

Situation critical in Southern Sector. the Nazi Panzer Group South is at the gates to Krivoi Rog, completely overrunning Yuzhny Bug river. This has created a huge pocket around Odessa surrounding the 9th army and over 30 divisions of Southwestern Front. 9th army is order to fortify Odessa and will be supplied by sea until the seige is lifted.

Evacuate everything at once toward the Dnepr river, making a retreat in step to slow down the Fascists while you build your Main Line of Resistance along the Dnepr. Your first objective is to preserve your army. The aim is not make a stand at those temporary lines, but to buy time as you bring reinforcements to the Dnepr and build your forts.

The Dnepr, however is to be held and fought for. Make the Fascists pay in blood for every meter they pass over the River! The Ingulets river must be held and no German divisions must be allowed adjacent to Dnepropetrovsk or Zaporohye.

Northern Front Plan

In the North, significant Panzer Divisions have broken out and captured Gdov and threaten Narva. The Luga river must be held and the Leningrad rail and supply lines must stay intact to Leningrad. Your orders are very simply commander do not let Leningrad be isolated or the Volkhov river be crossed. Northwest Front has complete freedom of movement to support Leningrad Front.

Centre Commander

In the Centre, the Dnepr river must be held you have freedom of movement as you see fit but under no circumstance do you lose the Dnepr river from Rzev down to Gomel.


AP are 15 each for North, Centre, South, and Air. The rest will be kept by STAVKA for the formation of the reserve front.

Until further notice all rail is assigned to industry only, men will need to walk. All front commander have freedom to reinforce there fronts with any STAVKA divisions as they see fit.

Drakken I kept my footprint to a minimum for supreme command this turn I did the bare minimum for the reserve front and I would assume they would assign it to you going forward. It is kinda plugging the gap between you and the north, so I will leave it up to supreme command to decide its future fate.

Covered the Luga line with a screen and piled up in front of the tanks in the Piepus region. Left a screen around Pskov to slow things down there. Evacuated most of the Finnish frontier, heading for the narrow point north of Lake Ladoga.

Used my 15 Admin points replacing commander of 8th Army.

Also started marching some reinforcements towards the front, hope nobody minds. Since we have no more rail capacity.

We don't have the AP for fortifications right now, unfortunately. I had an allocation of 15 and have a couple of generals who really need to command 'research stations' in Siberia. I'm not expecting to actually hold Leningrad, just stall the fascists long enough for the factories to be evacuated. I'm hoping to be able to hold the line of the Volkhov down to the mountains and on to the sources of the Volga as my main line of resistance. And the river/lake line at the north end of Lake Ladoga against the Finns.

I think somebody already moved factories. We have a rail cap of 196.

As temporary supreme command this turn I used every rail point to ship out all Leningrad armaments and vehicle factories. The Heavy Industry we should get out next turn. The south industry should hold as long as we get forces in front of Dnepp & Z, his tanks are definitely out of fuel and will have limited movement next turn.

Status: offline 		Looks OK right now. They dove into my tar pit up south of the Luga. I am going to need a little bit of rail cap to move people down to that northwestern corner of the Luga front. I wonder if they are running short of gas up there? Farther south, they are up against Velikie Luki. I figure I could leave two good divisions in there to slow them down and back off to the hills/swamp to the north and east. They're across the Velikaya south of Pskov and I was planning to abandon the city unless somebody tells me different. I can pull back to the minimal line in Finland. Basically, I think we're OK in my sector for now.

The enemy is knocking at our door. Now more then ever, we need to stop the beast in its path.

5 Panzer Divisions and 2 Motorized Divisions are directly threatening the city of Leningrad. This need to stop. Assault the enemy division with bombers, IL-2s, tanks or infantry, the choice is yours, but do something about it. We need to weaken them. They should not be allowed to rest. If you cannot fight them frontally, scare them into moving into another position with encirclement, this will waste their time and fuel. Force them to attack into direction they wouldnt want to go. They need to feel stressed and incapable of dealing with the situation alone.

the 7th Army, on the Northern Front, defending against the Finnish. Do we really need them there ? The Finnish wont go beyond their original borders, have the 7th Army retreat and bolster the defense of Leningrad. Leave a division or two along the Finnish original border and divide those division into regiments to create a frontline.

Leningrad needs reinforcement, the area around Velikie Luki needs reinforcement.

It looks like 2 SS div. (Das Reich + Grossdeutchland) are getting ready to do a pincer movement on Smolensk with the 19th Pz Div. Make sure to prepare for such an event. I want lots of recon mission in the South, Wiking SS div are close by and may be attempting to breakthrough somewhere. Try to figure out how many reinforcement they will have. The supporting divisions and where they will attempt to break.

Hold Odessa. If possible, organize supply raid (capture railroad hex ) on railroad lines as far as possible, starting from Odessa, going North- West.

Airborne : I want the 4th and 5th Airborne Corps to stay and defend the forest
behind Velikie Luki, pretty much where they are right now.

I don't want the Finns running down the east side of the lake and stretching our line enormously to the east. Also don't want them cutting off Archangelsk (where our lend-lease comes from). The folks in the peninsula will fall back to Leningrad and join the armies to the south. I don't think I can surround the army pushing for Leningrad but I can bury them in troops. I may need a rail move or two to get folks in front of them. And presumably, we have all our factories out this turn.

Alright leave the 7th there then. I still want Leningrad defended even if the factories are not there anymore. As much as possible anyway, I wouldn't want to give the German pleasure by giving them the city. The soldiers are going to have to pile in front of the invaders. It doesn't look like we have enough troops for that though.

Take your 1 rail move, the rest will walk.

Roger on security ops for Para's. As for the air force it is a mess and in reserve at the moment. Even the recon wings are almost spent I have left them operational and using them every turn but they are getting ravaged. In a few more turns recon air units will be completely spent.

You are to cease all air mission immediately, the only airplanes flying will be those assigned to your next mission. I want all Recon airplane to be assigned a fighter escort. I want to know what is going on in the Southern Region, more specifically, in the triangle from Kirovograd, Nikolaev and Krivoi Rog. Try to use as little as possible, I want to know where the South is going to be hitting for its next breakthrough. So try to find mass formations of enemy division. I also want the 1st Airborne Corps to assist the Southern Commander in the rescue of the 3rd, 4th and 5th armies of the Western front stuck in the pocket. As for now, I want them to take defensive position at the fortified positions crossing the river and guarding the rail road. Be ready to retreat from there if there is too much stress from the Germans on the flank, we dont want them surrounded.


Southern Front Commander

Good job so far. I expect the Germans will be trying to break trough to Dnepropetrovsk and Odessa. They will most likely push for Kiev after capturing the Pocket in the marshes. Speaking of wich, what is happening with that ? What are the 3rd, 4th and 5th armies doing there ? Any plan to get them out soon or ? The 1st Airborne corps will be taking defensive position in the marshes nearby your surrounded troops. If you need them to assist and help, go talk to Wallas and organize something.

Recon mission will be conducted by air in your sector.


Central Front Commander

Great job on your defense so far. Intelligence seems to think the German will try to Pincer Smolensk with the SS Division stationed on its South, and the 19th Pz Div stationed on its North. Be careful and anticipate such an attack. Velikie Lukie is extremely fragile and the Germans are about to be there soon. Take the 21st Army (X89,Y64) and integrate it into your HQ. You will also take command of the 20th Army (X88,Y58) and integrate it in your HQ. You will also take the Orel Military District under your HQ, It is located in the town of Orel. With those two armies now under your command, you should be able to detach some troops in order to prepare for the defense of Velikie Lukie. I will leave it to you to decide how you want to defend.

You will also take the Reserve Front (X102,Y43) into your HQ and get use them as reserve units only. They are to defend the area surrounding Smolensk. Only use them as emergency.
Be careful as you will have no air support.

Northern Front Commander

Your situation looks grim. Your orders are to defend Leningrad all the way to Velikie Lukie. All 3 towns ( Leningrad, Pskov and Velikie ) MUST be held by our forces. Use the terrain to your advantage, Forest and Swamps are abundant. Expect 7 Infantry Division (76,000 infantry soldiers) , 2 tank division (with about 30 KV-1 and 90 T-34 along with other light tanks, totaling 700 tanks) and 1 Motorized Division as reinforcement coming your way soon. Use those reinforcement to protect Velikie to Pskov ideally. If at all possible, try to re-capture Riga with them. But be careful, as you will have no air support.

I will attempt to hold on to Pskov if you order it, but I will deploy my strongest forces to defend Leningrad and the Luga defense line. I will put two divisions in Pskov to make it harder for the fascist infantry but don't expect too much. And if you are sending 9 divisions, make it snappy. Rail them to the Luga line and attach them (or I will) to HQ's that can take them. Let's not overload any of those army HQ's since the corps HQ's are about to start disappearing.

Only take back Riga if there is an opportunity, I meant. In order to destabilize their effort. I will let you attach the armies yourself to whatever HQ you want. And yes, do attempt to hold Pskov.
