Every Marshall is responsible for his TOE. Well, unless you want to do it all, I dont mind either way.

[Mamluke]

Cool, I will ask North commander to fallow our settings, for the benefit of the Red army.

[Mamluke]

I did the final air turn.
I change the ToE settings for the North as well as the on map Units under Stavka, if the front commanders don't like my settings they may change it of course, I just ask to consider the well being of the entire Red Army before making changes.

[Neogodhobo]

Turn 16 is in people.

Lets hope everything turns out okay. Mamluke Im very impressed by what you did in the pockets !


Also, I was called in for work a week ago, so I am leaving on the 29th March. The closest Il be able to do my turn after this really depends on a number of factors, but I am guessing between the 5th and 7th April.
I will be back in October. But as soon as my set up is done, Il be able to do turns on a regular basis. It all depends on the internet Il be having over there as well, but it shouldn't change much. Although, if I die, then I wont be able to do any turn, for obvious reasons its unlikely to happen, but you never know.

But everything should be fine, and I will do my best to set up my stuff rather quickly. By the 10th of April I should be good to go, just be aware though that I cant always get the internet over there and sometime I might be out of internet for a few days.

[Mamluke]

best wishes for your work, and I bring good news to cheer the mod already! the Fascist admit that there is mud in the Center zone!! they now have to bath in mud and slow down rail construction!
and the troops I position should really make life heel for the German spear head!

[Neogodhobo]

Hurrah ! Hurrah !!

Finally some good news. We should inflict as much damage as possible to their motorized and Tank divisions. Maybe carpet bombing them while they are stuck in the mud, or something!

[Darojax]

Good news indeed

When our next turn comes around, I suggest that we set units with 40+ exp to 100% TOE. The rest can be at 70% or 80% as appropriate. The few remaining pre-war formations that we have should have priority for new replacements if we are having a shortage.

Where are you going, if you don't mind my asking? Hope you can stay safe.

I work in Forestry, to observe and report wildfires. So I work alone in the forest. I mention dying just because my wife will be driving me and its her first time driving and shel have to drive 4,000 km. haha. It should be okay though.

[Darojax]

4,000km that's 1/10th around Earth! Btw, have you played Firewatch?

[Neogodhobo]

Yeah I played Firewatch I can say its highly unrealistic of the job. But a very fun game nonetheless , haha.

[Neogodhobo]

Quick update guys, the Germans are going to take an extra day or two to do the turn. They said they have a lot to prepare........

MOUAHAHAHAHA WINTER IS COMING !! [&o]

(insert obvious GoT reference here)

[Neogodhobo]

GoT ? EDIT: ( Nevermind I googled it )

[Mamluke]

Comrades, I want to share with you my standard for Experience and training of the red Army.
in the fallowing turns, this will be very important to determine what formations go where, arrange good army placements for offensive operations and keep momentum well in to January.

we should have a discussing, what do you guys think? do you agree with my standards?

Minimal training - lower then 20 Experience and low Morale (30ish or lower)

These are raw recruits. they are unreliable in combat, provide shallow CV even in defense, useless for offensive operations (not just because of low CV but also lose too much mps in enemy hexes, take larger loses then normal,etc.
I highly recommend these units be kept at least 10 hexes away from the front line until they finish basic training,
they would only provide the illusion of a ready combat unit at the front line, they also have a higher probability of routing.
I would only ever used then if desperate and/or on harsh terrain against limited Axis opposition.


Basic Training - Experience 23-26 and about 40 morale.

this milestone is only to represent the unit reaching experience level half of national morale, once reach they will only gain 1 experience per turn, so no real reason to keep then away from the front line.


Decent Training - Experience above 30 and above 40 morale.

this is what I call "decent divisions", they have enough construction value to build a level 1 fort in 2 turns. can muster a decent CV on offense.
we should try to avoid losing then in pockets. since it takes more then 2 months to reach this level.


Good Training - Experience above 40 and above 40/45 morale.

this is the Ideal milestone, these are the good divisions and are the key to an successful defense and offense.
these should NEVER be on the front lines baring some exceptions, always on the 2nd or 3rd line of defense.
these divisions should NEVER be risked to be pocketed!!! even if there presence could have reopen the pocket, losing a division like this will be far more hurtful.


Excellent training - Experience above 50 and above 50/60 morale.

what I said before goes double for this one.
these divisions can form the crack army, that can possible stop a Axis offensive in its tracks or spearhead one, put then under Zhukov or any great leader and they will conquer the world (hint: Germany ).

[Mamluke]

turn 16 is in, it seams our brave soldiers in the South won't escape after all

Supreme commander, I ask that you leave exactly 57 000 rail capacity to evacuate the last Industries in Danger. Tambov's armaments can still be saved, we must not waste this opportunity.

I just hope Yaroslavl can hold...

[Neogodhobo]

Railway granted.

Supcom turn done.

[Neogodhobo]

Some of you commanders are going to start seeing some reinforcement. Tank brigades have made their own South. Infantry division has started to arrive in the Center. Cavalry Division are starting to make their way North.
Reinforcement should come quicker for the next few turns.

[Darojax]

Commander, with the current situation in mind, especially the state of the Southern Front, any specific orders for the Center Front? Obviously the south flank of Center Front is now quite vulnerable. Should I start efforts on the defensive line suggested here? fb.asp?m=4447351

I'm suspecting the Axis will try to break the Volga defenses north of Yaroslavl in order to force the retreat of our Northern Front units. Or they feel confident and will just continue to push straight east. Anyway, north of Yaroslavl is most exposed, so unless otherwise instructed I will put emphasis on defenses there, along with district Gorky. Hopefully the Rasputitsa will come to the east very very soon.
