I was planning to have 7th Independent Army fall back to the spot north of Lake Ladoga where there is only 3 hexes. I don't want the Finns running down the east side of the lake and stretching our line enormously to the east. Also don't want them cutting off Archangelsk (where our lend-lease comes from). The folks in the peninsula will fall back to Leningrad and join the armies to the south. I don't think I can surround the army pushing for Leningrad but I can bury them in troops. I may need a rail move or two to get folks in front of them. And presumably, we have all our factories out this turn.

Alright leave the 7th there then. I still want Leningrad defended even if the factories are not there anymore. As much as possible anyway, I wouldn't want to give the German pleasure by giving them the city. The soldiers are going to have to pile in front of the invaders. It doesn't look like we have enough troops for that though.

Take your 1 rail move, the rest will walk.

Airborne : I want the 4th and 5th Airborne Corps to stay and defend the forest
behind Velikie Luki, pretty much where they are right now.

Roger on security ops for Para's. As for the air force it is a mess and in reserve at the moment. Even the recon wings are almost spent I have left them operational and using them every turn but they are getting ravaged. In a few more turns recon air units will be completely spent.

[Neogodhobo]

Wallas : Lenin be damn ! For the love of equality, cease all air operations until further notice. I will think of something and be back soon. ( I shall do my turn right about now as well )

[Neogodhobo]

Airforce Commander

You are to cease all air mission immediately, the only airplanes flying will be those assigned to your next mission. I want all Recon airplane to be assigned a fighter escort. I want to know what is going on in the Southern Region, more specifically, in the triangle from Kirovograd, Nikolaev and Krivoi Rog. Try to use as little as possible, I want to know where the South is going to be hitting for its next breakthrough. So try to find mass formations of enemy division. I also want the 1st Airborne Corps to assist the Southern Commander in the rescue of the 3rd, 4th and 5th armies of the Western front stuck in the pocket. As for now, I want them to take defensive position at the fortified positions crossing the river and guarding the rail road. Be ready to retreat from there if there is too much stress from the Germans on the flank, we dont want them surrounded.


Southern Front Commander

Good job so far. I expect the Germans will be trying to break trough to Dnepropetrovsk and Odessa. They will most likely push for Kiev after capturing the Pocket in the marshes. Speaking of wich, what is happening with that ? What are the 3rd, 4th and 5th armies doing there ? Any plan to get them out soon or ? The 1st Airborne corps will be taking defensive position in the marshes nearby your surrounded troops. If you need them to assist and help, go talk to Wallas and organize something.

Recon mission will be conducted by air in your sector.


Central Front Commander

Great job on your defense so far. Intelligence seems to think the German will try to Pincer Smolensk with the SS Division stationed on its South, and the 19th Pz Div stationed on its North. Be careful and anticipate such an attack. Velikie Lukie is extremely fragile and the Germans are about to be there soon. Take the 21st Army (X89,Y64) and integrate it into your HQ. You will also take command of the 20th Army (X88,Y58) and integrate it in your HQ. You will also take the Orel Military District under your HQ, It is located in the town of Orel. With those two armies now under your command, you should be able to detach some troops in order to prepare for the defense of Velikie Lukie. I will leave it to you to decide how you want to defend.

You will also take the Reserve Front (X102,Y43) into your HQ and get use them as reserve units only. They are to defend the area surrounding Smolensk. Only use them as emergency.
Be careful as you will have no air support.

Northern Front Commander

Your situation looks grim. Your orders are to defend Leningrad all the way to Velikie Lukie. All 3 towns ( Leningrad, Pskov and Velikie ) MUST be held by our forces. Use the terrain to your advantage, Forest and Swamps are abundant. Expect 7 Infantry Division (76,000 infantry soldiers) , 2 tank division (with about 30 KV-1 and 90 T-34 along with other light tanks, totaling 700 tanks) and 1 Motorized Division as reinforcement coming your way soon. Use those reinforcement to protect Velikie to Pskov ideally. If at all possible, try to re-capture Riga with them. But be careful, as you will have no air support.

Is everyone alright with that ? I will start my turn as soon as I got confirmation from everyone. Especially regarding reinforcement.

[thedoctorking]

Re-capture Riga? Comrade, you must have gotten some of that vodka that was distilled by the fascist wreckers! I will try to cut across their lines of supply if I can, though. I am noticing that the Axis commander across from me has a charming disregard for his flanks and rear.

I will attempt to hold on to Pskov if you order it, but I will deploy my strongest forces to defend Leningrad and the Luga defense line. I will put two divisions in Pskov to make it harder for the fascist infantry but don't expect too much. And if you are sending 9 divisions, make it snappy. Rail them to the Luga line and attach them (or I will) to HQ's that can take them. Let's not overload any of those army HQ's since the corps HQ's are about to start disappearing.

Only take back Riga if there is an opportunity, I meant. In order to destabilize their effort. I will let you attach the armies yourself to whatever HQ you want. And yes, do attempt to hold Pskov.

[thedoctorking]

Are we moving? Whose turn is it? I was waiting for the Supreme Commander, Air commander, and Central front to go ahead of me.

[WingedIncubus]

Yup. Supreme Commander first, then Air Commander, then me.

[Neogodhobo]

Yeah as I mentioned, Il do the move once I got confirmation from everyone that they are okay with the reinforcement being given away in that manner and with the overall plan... I guess it kinda looks like a signature so you might have skip reading that part.

Edit : Il start it tomorrow morning (its night here ) if I dont get any answer by then.

[thedoctorking]

Oh, sorry, yes I agreed to your plan despite my sarcastic response.

[Neogodhobo]

Yeah I know haha, I was waiting for all commander's answers.

[Neogodhobo]

(Turn is done)
All commanders : Feel free to change the color of your armies as you will
Refer to previous orders in my previous message to see your objectives

Northern Commander

You have received the 32nd Army and 33rd Army as reinforcement (X99,Y41). Along with 2 extra Infantry Div. and 2 Extra Cavalry Div ( put inside both armies )
You are free to move them to your front lines and assigned them to your HQ
The Tank and Mechanized div. were held back. They will not be coming to reinforce the North.


Central Commander.

The entire 20th Army (X88,Y58) and 21st Army(X89,Y64), (along with 2 tank Div. and 1 mechanized ( placed into 21st army )) has been put to your disposal. Assign them to your HQ and use them as you see fit.
The 30th army will also join your ranks, although it only has 1 infantry Div. for now. The Orel military District (X103,Y64) was also put to your disposal.
Do not let the road to Moscow be captured.

Take the peasant and build a few fortification along the Rzhev-Kaluga line. Stop the invaders there !
If Smolensk and Vyazma were to fall. Retreat to defend the Rzhev - Kaluga Line. Then proceed to defend the Tula - Orel line.


Southern Commander :

You have been given command of all Stavka Reserve in your area of operation ( everything south, under the axis limit line is yours ) . Assign to HQ of your choice. Keep in mind, some of these units are refitting.
Keep holding Odessa. Prepare defense in Sevastopol with your reinforcement would be my suggestion. But do as you see fit.
