there seems to be confusion among the Nazi allies: No movement from the Fascists allies on the Carpathian front. This proves a relief on our Southern Front that we must exploit.

... not too impressed with my opponent; T2 and he's not even past the Goryn river! I took the opportunity to mess with his supply again so my line should be fairly safe...
- Defending the Rumanian border to really frustrate AGS and delay building their rail from there
- Starting to dig in along the Dnepr, in the main cities and on the isthmus to the Crimea
..
I do expect to have to fall back quite a bit next turn, but this turn I thought it safe enough to severely delay AGS' advance.

Bomb any and all exposed Panzer or Motorized Division that are nearest our defence line - without mercy.
Enemy airbases are not to be bombed, as doing this so close from the enemy lines of supply will shred our bomber forces needlessly.

I will begin sending aircraft to the reserve for reorganization. Please be aware the lack of air support will only be temporary and the air force will keep up air recon and fighter cap as best as possible.

maybe that is why we should allow you to control the air? or get somebody to volunteer?

By the rules I was banned from doing air missions - but the need for one person to co-ordinate air was apparent:-

Leningrad is in escort range now, but not if one ground commanders uses every bombed up in auto missions! [:D]

The Soviet security plan had one fatal flaw, the subforum the thread was located in is directly below the tester forums. So any Axis WitE 2 tester will easily stumble upon it.
(I do NOT accuse anyone of spying here of course)

Not even that! Everytime we clicked on Soviet player profifles to send them a message, their profile helpfully showed their last ten forum posts all saying "2x3+ Soviet Team" !!!!!!!!!!

So really we should be asking did anyone actually not know where the secret Soviet chat was hidden? [:)]

In the North, Panzer Divisions are bottled inside the swamp area north of Peipus Lake, while the enemy movements are unknown in front of Pskov. Start building a line of defence behind the Luga River with reinforcements, while manning the Narva line with sufficient troops to keep the line strong.

Do not forget to put a good division with a lot of construction value in Pavlovo, since this the last line of defence for Osinovets. This is critical: If Osivonets is lost, Leningrad is lost.

Instruction for Air Command: Recon in priority in the area in front of Pskov and up in Estonia. We need to know what forces are committed for Pskov...

Soviet Deputy Supreme Commander
In the Centre, the whole line is holding firm, even in the landbridge. Next to no movement from the Fascist armoured and motorized divisions, except a small skirmish that has cleared the northern road to Vitebsk. Reclaim at once to prevent easy movement toward the city.

Minsk is still holding. This, together with the dwindling pockets being liquidated by the Nazis, assuredly hinders their supply lines to the Centre.[&o]

Soviet Centre Commander
It will be T4 and they haven't event crossed the Dvina yet, so their 2-turn starting impetus is gone and we have bought precious time here.

Most of my strong points are around or over 20 Defense CV, so those will have to be Deliberate-Attacked to be displaced. Smolensk, meanwhile, is a rock.

I have brought Divisions from the rear to plug the remaining holes and begin building the Smolensk's MLR near Demidov.

I decided that Gomel itself is too vulnerable to be encircled if the Germains pierces through Zlobin. I have thus retreated the stronghold behind the river.

I won't hide that I am scared to death of a HQBU here. Even if they had next to no supply next turn, I do not know if it influences anything.

The bulk of the Moscow PM divisions are building forts in front of Moscow.

Soviet Deputy Supreme Commander
Situation critical in Southern Sector. the Nazi Panzer Group South has veered southward, completely overrunning Proskurov. This has created a huge pocket surrounding half of standing divisions of Southwestern Front, plus a small part of Southern Front that cover the Carpathian frontier.

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!

I requested Comrade Stalin to send Commissar Nikita Khrushchev to assist you - and ensure you do not fail in your mission. He will also bring your confidential mapplan below approved by STAVKA, for your eyes only.

Bonus though that I will have a 40+CV stack in the rough right on the rail line they want to convert next turn. Please keep air supplying that!!
...used next to no rail cap.

Soviet Air Commander
Air is for the most part in reserve minus recon. I will be focusing with my AP on making Moscow Air Command a force to be recond with over the coming turns. I will be transferring both PVO air corps to the moscow air command army HQ. I will be fleshing out the 3 HQ's with AA Regiments, and the best leaders available along with all the modern fighters. The axis will regret coming within 5 hexes of the Moscow air command HQ's / Airfields.
