Artillery Armies :)

Oooo,

Just reviewing M60 and Fulkerson versus Farfarer's game, (see war room thread), see p 7:

'Meanwhile, a new formation is being added to Malinovsky's Southwestern Front' - First Artillery Army - It is scheduled to receive another artillery division and two guards rocket launcher divisions. (< Message edited by M60A3TTS -- 7/1/2012 12:08:07 AM >)

When did these get added - as reinforcements or can they be purchased?

They didn't. [:)]

That's a little artwork courtesy of Microsoft Paint. [;)] It's a regular empty army I had lying around.

Aaaargh [X(] ,

Good idea though - I will adopt that quick smart in my games - better C&C, leadership, admin and supply etc, one for each front I say ! Hmm, with arty Support Units attached too

FYI, did the Sov's actually have artillery armies ??

No they didn't. You can also use those airborne corps. as artillery HQs.

Hmmm, I have a few empty armies too...........

Artllery Armies - OMG that explains the punch to Vitebsk I didn't see coming

However, I have done more hasty attacks or weaker deliberate attacks than my norm as I consistently notice whole regions of your units controlled by STAVKA. Whatever Zhukov's attributes, there is a 20% penalty in nearly all the battles this winter in the north at least. When playing Red, I will overload hugely rather than risk having any unit fight a battle under "STAVKA". However, I admit with a 7 million strong Red Army, you need to make choices - with my Ostheer under 4 million and declining, every gefreiter has a general whispering in his ear

Yes, that's the Second Artillery Army.

The Russians did employ several Artillery Corps HQs in WW2. These HQs should've been included in the game, more so than the Airborne Corps HQs I'd say.
