As I also said, I moved the air bases as well since they were exposed and left behind as the front was retreating. For future, do you want us to leave the airbases and then you will move them behind the front during the Airmarshall's 2nd move after all the ground units have moved?

OK, fine. I also didn't replace the air commander so if the Air Marshal feels it appropriate, he can do it. Also, I didn't hit relocate for Rokossovsky, you can do that if you like. Don't bother using AP to replace him, though.

Guys we cant re-do turns. Its against the game rules. Its considered a form of cheating. Nobody touches anything.

I left the airbases where they were. No air transfer missions are possible at this point, of course. Both main groups are covered by my boys though they will have to get out next turn.

I didn't do any bombing missions. You might want to attack forward German positions just to build up experience. As I did in my earlier, abortive move, I'd like to have a couple of good fighter squadrons since the Germans continue to attack my airbases. Also, if you have some AP to spare, might be a good idea to build some AAA regiments for your air HQ's. Though that has got to be a long way down on our list of priorities for AP's.

Everything has been reverted to normal with the original North save. Its now the Air marhsall turn. This is the importance of reading the thread correctly before doing the turns.

OK, so restore my original move? With the changes I made?

I don't think the re-move changed anything. I put all the ground units in the same places.

Sorry about the confusion, guys. Maybe I'm not paying enough attention to the game. If you would like to replace me, I won't be insulted. I certainly haven't contributed much to our glorious motherland's triumph.

Everyone is allowed to make mistake, But we are not allowed to cheat. So I reverted to the original file, and now its the Air Marshall's turn, thats all.

And by the way, dont say that Doctorking, you have been here since the start, you kept your heads high when Doom was inevitable, you have lead our great armies in the North trough hardship no one could bear to stand. Keep fighting hard and we will, survive this.

So I have to ask again, Air Marshall Mamluke, when you have emergency powers over airforce, do you want the ground commanders to leave the airbases in place even if they are left behind exposed as the front line retreats? Will you move them to safety after your 2nd phase at the end of our turn?

considering that as Air Marshall, I have a final air turn before the supreme leader and still had my southern turn to do, yes I could have fix the airbases, their position is important bc if I had to moved then even one hex in the next turn, the LB will get miles and won't be able to perform air supply operations.

No major harm done either way. the final air turn is done.
Supreme leader, I must ask to reconsider the replacement of Rokossovsky, while I shudder that we might face the possibility of an accident, we have few AP as it is, right now the replacement of 9th army in Crimea is more important as that can make the difference at holding the Crimea choke points until winter, thus providing a important staging area for an offensive and diverting German divisions from other fronts.

besides, accidents are very rare.

Little note.

My wife and I were cleaning her father's house, and looking trough each paper, we found a letter, from the President of Hungary. And it addressed her Grand-Father. It was a letter that was saying "Thank you for your service as a resistance fighter against Fascism".

Her family was Jewish, and they all perished during World War II. But her Father ( who was born in 1942 ) and her Grand-Father/Mother survived. We didnt know, until now, that he was a Partisan. We also found a pair of Binocular that was his, that dates from the 1940s so I am assuming he might have used them in his effort to fight the Nazi's.

I figured I would share it since we are all, somewhat, fighting against the Nazi's, even if, virtual. ;)

Cool! The German binoculars are the best.

I have a 9mm Radom pistol that my father brought back from the war. He was in the French army in 1940-43 and then the American OSS. He got the pistol in Germany in May 1945 and said that it fired the last shot at him in the war. He was quite proud that he was able to live to see the end of both fascist Germany and communist USSR (though not, of course, the end of fascism and communism - ideas are hard to kill, even bad ones!).

we just got turn 14 and I did a quick look

HOLY crap, we only get 70K rail capacity!? that is piss poor. I humbly ask for the Supreme Commander to spend as little as possible!!! I need to evac Voronezh, Lipetsk, Tambov, Voroshilovograd and possible Ivanovo...
I suggest that those units with very few men(the 20% TOE ones) could stay were they are, only transport the most valuable rifle divisions (+40 Exp. +40 Morale) I humble request that Cavalry, Tank and Motorize if any should stay away from the trains this turn. they are the most expansive per unit.
HELL YES! I avoided a great Encirclement! I will still evac Voronezh. not taking any chances.

I saw that Mamluke, wel be able to evacuate your troops, Im glad !! Things are starting to look up. I cant do my turn right now, but I will by tonight most likely. At the latest, tomorrow at noon.

Il only bring the reinforcement that are useful for the moment in order to save some rail capacity.

Central Commander : General Pronin of the 34th Army has been replaced by the skilled General-Major Rybalko ( 6-5 ) . We can count on him to make a good defense. Construction Battalions were distributed in some of your HQs in order to build trenches and other defensive position along the line. A couple of reinforcement division made it by train to your front, but the rest is going to be walking all week, for the moment.

Southern Commander : You have received some troops in Stalingrad, I want to offer the enemy some real resistance around there so start preparing the defense with the troops available.

Northern Commander : Nothing new, keep retreating to the defensive line.

That is all Commanders, nothing exciting this week, but better this than being encircled. Keep what you are doing. Dismiss.

North Commander: it's a shame north Leningrad fell this turn. the only upsides is that it locked down the powerful Model's (9 inf. rating) I Corps in the north. because of the Axis rail head being just 3 hexes north of Pskov, by my predictions, I corps (+ some German Infantry in the area) can only embarks trains on turn 16 and only be fit for operations by turn 18.
Thus for the summer, we don't need to worry about these guys. however I still fear the damage they can do during the snow turns....
anyway, North commander has full control of the airbases for now on and can do what ever he sees fit. I still have the authority to decide how many airplanes he gets.
I recommend you keep the majority of airbases out of fighter range at least. and try to use staging bases for attacks against ground troops, do you know how to use staging airbases?
in the future. when AP becomes more plentiful, I shall assign more U-2 for the north to bomb the Fins with out mercy (they have real Manpower shortage).

Center Commander: I ask you to try and protect 3 cities in particular for at least one more turn, which are:

REBISK:

simple AT and tank brigades can do the job, I will try to evac in the next turn so you can Ignore it.

TAMBOV:

The City still holds 2 Armaments and 1 heavy Industry, Infantry or airborne Brigades can do the job.

IVANOVO:

I ask to try and protect the outskirts of Ivanovo for one more turn. it's important to evac the heavy Industry if nothing else.

Air turn is done.

Center done.

I have done what you requested Commander Mamluke. Whether or not Ivanovo can last another turn comes down to the current state of enemy logistics. Defending Ivanovo like this is risky, but I understand the importance.

Urgently requesting reinforcements to bolster our Volga defensive line!

OK, I'm going to do my turn now. I will rebase the remainder of our air behind the river line and then bomb the Finns as best I can. Pity about Leningrad but not surprising.

BTW, do we really want all these divisions at less than 100% TOE max? There's a whole page on the commander's report that have 20% maximum.

Anybody on my front is going to get set to 100%.

OK, mission accomplished. Bombed every hex that had Finns in it twice, established a solidish line. If the Germans don't push my way I'll stay where I am and see if I can tempt the Finns into attacking. I'll make inflicting losses on Finns my principal objective.

I have an extra HQ now. If there are a half-dozen divisions coming in that we can spare for it, great, if not I'm prepared to let Rokossovsky go to some good home farther south.

South Commander!

Please relocate Moscow Military District HQ for me, it is completely exposed. Been trying for 2 turns to get it out of harms way, but alas...

Also a reminder, please move the Center Air Bases to safety, I did not touch them so some of them are exposed.
