Don't forget some of these units most likely have combat experience from the first time around fighting the Japanese (1937? or so under Zhoukov). Might want to check which ones and maybe increase their starting experience levels?


Just a thought from a lurker...

50mm mortars should not be in CHS.

Also, make sure none of the at start Russian forces are withdrawn as we have no way to simulate this in game. Trans Baikal and Martitime military districts were kept on a war footing but the central Siberia districts were not. Also, i might understrength some of the units anywat as Stalin pulled experts/specialists out of these units between November '41 and October '42.

The Russian Navy's manpower was essentially non existent in real life as the ships in peace time do not maintain full crews, and during the Great Patriotic War the navy was used as a resevoir of personnel for ground units. Pacific fleet ships were sitting at between 10-20% manpower by '43. I realize they were able to provide some manpower for their fleet in '45.

The Russian navy was also built the same as their army, and this does not work for a navy. The lack of long service crews, poor technology etc, made an extremely bad navy which we are still seeing today.

Hi,

only the divisions were this is mentioned in the OOB's I posted here moved to the west, all others stayed. At least the divisions that had been formed before June 1941 were always kept at full strength. They provided trained soldiers for the war in europe, but those men were always replaced (they basically served as training formations until August Storm; for example: 3rd Rifle Division provided over 13,000 soldiers for the west but always kept its wartime strength). The only change was that they were converted to the wartime TOE of Dec 1941 between January - March 1942 (because they were overstrength compared to combat units in the west). But this is already represented by giving them the Dec 1941 TOE. Formations in Siberia MD were not included by me because all eventually moved west and Siberia MD is off-map.

Kereguelen,

You have covered all my worries on the land OOB i see! Yikes, your research is thourough.
Were you by any chance involved in the research for G/RD's East Front/Scorched Earth ?

Got permission to add ships to the CHS release for Russia -
already was asked to look at it but not it seems it will happen.
Already DID look at the data - not much of a fleet - so it will
be fast, but:

there is NO art! I always assign the closest art in the system (so things won't crash when the system wants art). You want Russian art? Get me
some!
