Battle for the Crimea. Autumn 1941.

[IainMcNeil]

Kraganov, this is a warning. We've explained the situation and if you persist you'll be banned. HBalck was a disruptive influence that flooded our system with complaints and we banned him after many warnings.

I don't want to lock this thread but will if this continues.

Dear R-35

THE STALIN LINE

http://worldatwarmagazine.com/wp-conten ... rticle.pdf

The Stalin Line was a line of fortifications along the western border of the Soviet Union. Work began on the system in the 1920s to protect the USSR against attacks from the West. The line was made up of concrete bunkers and gun emplacements, somewhat similar to, but less elaborate than the Maginot Line. It was not a continuous line of defense along the entire border, but rather a network of fortified districts, meant to channel potential invaders along certain corridors.



In the aftermath of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, with the westward expansion of the USSR in 1939 and 1940 into Poland, the Baltic, and Bessarabia, the decision was made to abandon the line in favour of constructing the Molotov Line further west, along the new border of the USSR. A number of Soviet generals felt that it would be better to keep both lines and to have a defence in depth, but this conflicted with the pre-World War II Soviet military doctrine.

[Brazenman]

THE MOLOTOV LINE

The so-called Molotov Line was a system of border fortified regions built by the Soviet Union in the years 1940–1941 along its new western borders. These borders were the result of joining of the Baltic States, Eastern Poland and Bessarabia in 1940.

Each fortified region (in Russian ukreplennyi raion, or UR) consisted of a large number of concrete bunkers (pillboxes) armed with machineguns, antitank guns and artillery. The bunkers were built in groups for mutual support, each group forming a centre of resistance.

When Germany attacked the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941 during the course of Operation Barbarossa, most of the line was not yet finished, and hence posed a negligible obstacle to the invading forces. Only the four southernmost regions, partly completed, were able to hamper the advance of the Wehrmacht for a few days. (The Brest Fortress resisted much longer, but it was an older fortification technically not part of the Molotov line).



In Lithuania the line consisted of four fortified regions:
1. Telšiai fortified region (line from Palanga to Judrėnai, 75 kilometers).
2. Šiauliai fortified region (line from Pajūris to Jurbarkas, 90 kilometers).
3. Kaunas fortified region (line from Jurbarkas to Kalvarija, 105 kilometers).
4. Alytus fortified region (line from Kalvarija to border of Lithuanian SSR, 57 kilometers).


Continuing south, the other regions, today located along the eastern border of Poland with Belarus and Ukraine, were:
5. Grodno fortified region – 80 km (in Belarus and Poland)
6. Osowiec fortified region – 60 km (in Poland)
7. Zambrów fortified region – 70 km (in Poland)
8. Brest fortified region – 120 km (in Poland and Belarus)
9. Kovel fortified region – 80 km (in Ukraine)
10. Volodymyr-Volyns'kyi fortified region – 60 km (in Ukraine)
11. Kamyanka-Buzka (Kamionka Strumiłowa) fortified region – 45 km (in Ukraine)
12. Rawa Ruska fortified region – 90 km (in Poland and Ukraine)
13. Przemyśl fortified region – 120 km (in Poland and Ukraine)

@Brazenman what is the difference (besides name and appearance) between the Cossack cavalry and the regular Soviet cavalry? In terms of gameplay how should they differ?

I do not see a fundamental difference between them

I but I think that would be true if you will add a couple of bonuses for the Cossacks
for example
Movement +1 (about the Cossacks say that they were born on a horse)
Spotting +1 (cossacks have always been excellent scouts)
Initiative +1

Karaganov
Please add alternative link for version 1.09

On the site my-files.ru there are problems

Honestly, I think that it`s irrelevant to distinguish between Soviet cavalry and Cossack cavalry (the latter being just part of the former), but since H.Balck made the graphics I`ll add them in too and I`ll ask for the bigunits cards too. The lack of the info cards is the actual reason why I haven`t added them yet.

Nice to see Karaganov is still working on this.

Yeah, right
Karaganov continues to work with the map of Soviet Western Front
I hope that soon we will see new part of the map

[R35]

I have a question. Do you guys have the list and maybe the disposition of the soviet forces before the Soviet ultimatum to Romania in June 1940? I was considering a what if scenario.

No problems. If you need, I will try to gather information for you
It will not be difficult for me
