squatter -> RE: Could I get Baku in 1942? (7/21/2011 6:36:29 PM)

I dont see how Baku is takeable. In my PBEM I reached Baku in the winter of 42/43, but because it's a supply source, the Soviets can dig in on the city and have equivalent defensive CV of 100s. I didnt bother trying to besiege and take it, because by the time you get there, the rest of the front is raging. And presumably new units can be created next to Baku as the Axis approach to further reinforce it. Personally, I dont think Baku should be a fully functioning permanent supply source. Maybe a supply source, but not somewhere where in effect, even if the rest of the Caucuses is in Axis hands the Soviet player can build and refill corps and divisions as if they were parked right next to Moscow. There's no way the replacement men and equipment could have been shipped over the Caspian in those kinds of numbers, especially if the Luftwaffe is around.
