The latest innovation of Soviet air power, the Poliakarpov I-153. It is produced in the thousands, and takes full advantage of the lessons learned in Spanish civil war. Bi-planes are superior in air combat. Beware!

No support. Assault.

The MTN adds its winterised bonus to the attack.

The attack is good, and Chisinau is liberated.

I can assure you it isn't much fun for the Russians at the moment. Having to give up way too much good defensive territory too easily just to preserve some units!

1941 Stalin problems. Not enough terrain left. Too few units on the western front . Too many units on the Manchurian front.
