Exiled Czechs ? AFAIK there is no such thing as Czechoslovakia until after May 45.

There was Czechoslovakia 1918 to 1933 - that is until the Germans....

too late to get over the mountains into Hungary. The pass is now blocked.


Now you have to go thru the Mines of Moria.

We shall see... red army late summer 1945 is a monster!

And once Romania fall, Stelteck will get the romanian pool to fill his rifle corps [:(]

Turn 217, 9th august 1945

Serious pressure in front of warsaw, some units are surrounded but can be rescued



In the South, Romania surrendered ... situation is looking bad... and all the the traitors, including the pool will now fight for the russians



We give some ground and will fight on the carpathians montains



And the losses, no comment

[Skydream2016]

i know its not so actual topic now but if you are interested you can chceck 1st Czechoslovak Army Corps in the USSR..

Turn 218, 16th august 1945

Red storm is seems unstoppable. Some inf divs are surrounded. I have built a strong line from the baltic to the carpathian mountains. Each hex is fill with at least one or 2 Pzd/Pzgr div

Look at the russian OOB, romanians are arriving in the red army...



I try to free surrounded units but counterattacks are more and more hard to achieve. See below...



These 2 inf divs will get an extra week of life.

[Stelteck]

The line in front of Germany from the mountain to the sea is epic strong.
XX+ défense level on the entire front.

Given hat the game is now in mid-August 1945 right about now there is a bright flash of light and a mushroom cloud over Berlin.

[Balou]

Question seeing map in post #966: those Rumanian units in Rumania proper - almost "surrounded" by retreating Axis - where do they draw supplies from ?

[STEF78]

there is an open corridor through the mountains in the west. They are technically not surrounded.

[Balou]

Thats why I said "almost surrounded". Either way (supply over mountains seems rather ineffective) where would supplies come from in case they are completely sourrounded.

and rail lines give a special bonus to motorised movement costs in this case

From what I read Nuremburg would have been the first target in Germany for an A-bomb.

Turn 219, 23th august 1945

Despite the strength of the russian army, I feel rather confident for the end of the game. I've built a very strong line from the baltic sea to the mountains and then carpathian mountains are providing a huge defensive asset

But I wonder why the russians aren't hitting harder my line...



Some counterattacks, more than 1000 AFV are required to earn a victory against 3 rifle corps.

And russian OOB is now above 8,4M men

The Soviet Union enlisted about 34 million soldiers during the Great Patriotic War, so you are almost 10 million behind (15 million total losses plus a current strength of about 8.5 million). I wonder how much of this is caused by the greater territorial losses you suffered in the early stages of this game and how much by the game's nerfing of Soviet manpower production.

[chaos45]

Even pre-nerf the soviets didn’t recruit historical manpower which is why the nerd was even more crippling. As well they started increasing losses again in recent patches esp for the soviets. So it’s been a double whammy against Soviet manpower and why you absolutely cannot afford near historical Soviet losses in 1941 to have a chance in the game right now.

[leverkuhn]

I would be curious to see the captured equipment screen for the axis side. Wonder how many soviet guns and tanks they are using at this stage with that level of losses.

[M60A3TTS]

From the screenshot, using Rokossovsky to command a generic tank army is questionable, and I'm being charitable here.

With an armor rating of 6, he can influence three tank or mechanized corps that have lower CVs compared to guards rifle corps. With a guards army containing 5 guards rifle corps, his infantry rating of 7 would generate considerably greater total combat value.

From what we're seeing in the Summer of '45, there are a lot of Soviet tank corps considerably below what their combat power should be.

[Stelteck]

Relying on individual exploits of an elite class of officers of questionable loyalty to win battle is archaic comrade and a threat to the revolution.

Victory can only be achieve by the group effort of the mass of anonymous soldiers workers.

Not that impressive, I have only 3 Pzd using russian tanks



It's funny to use these tanks when you see my pool



And some few arts among some inf divs
