ORIGINAL: heliodorus04 The Crimea To me, this does not look like prep for an offensive by the Soviet out of the Crimea. What do others think? Hard to say, he may just be limiting attrition losses. One thing everyone should note: Attacking out of the Crimea, as Soviets, isn't easy. You are not on a railnet, so units tend not to gain replacements at an amazing rate, and burn out over time. If you want to sustain an attack, you probably need to send a few fresh units in via Sea, and rotate out burned ones. This takes time, though, and costs APs. Germans should know this too. Despite this, I think you can expect attacks there, because your defenses are pretty pitiful. 6-ish divisions and no forts. They will be easily pushed in December, unless you dig fast. The most vulnerable hex once Blizzard hits is actually the swamp hex in the middle, because it can be attacked from 2 hexes once the water freezes, not just one. I probably don't have to tell you that Romanian troops are really really bad in December. BTW, you should ask Cannonfodder to stop all the AIRBASE attacks. Maybe ComradeP or Flav can weigh-in, but given where the air model is, it's borderline gamey. Most Soviet players will not do this, because you can nuke the Luftwaffe a-historically.
