Neo 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2007 New units on the Eastern Front: Following the capture of Leningrad (now St-Petersburg), Korona Speer moved to the city to make sure the tank factory can produce T-34 and KV-1 On the other side of the front line the Soviets Mechanised Corps are prepared to defend the new Staline line and maybe evn launch some surprise counter attack... Since june 22nd the Soviets had lost more than 6,000 tanks, mostly light and obsolete tanks like the BTs and the T-26. Screen shot below shows this T-26 and the new T-60, a small tank with a 20mm canon, both being easy preys for Panzer III, IV and the StugIII. Only hope for the Soviets is the T-34 production from Urals... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Korona 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2007 In the real world, as can be seen, the Allied invaders have been repulsed from Hamburg, and 4 massive Churchill tanks (broadly speaking an allied KV1) were captured by the Axis forces as the allies were trying to unload them at the docks. Later, at a medal ceremony, the brave defenders were honoured by the Fuhrer: With such brave men, the coast of the Reich is now more secure than ever! In the East, the 8th Panzer division has smashed its way through the defenses at Luga, helping to extend the zone of control around St Petersburg. The Soviets will need to tread carefulyl (even if they have managed to find some cans of whitewash in their basement) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neo 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2007 (edited) When asked by reporters if he had heard the latest UNS news concerning von Abba's statement, this man answered this: "This clown makes me laugh...he has no idea what's going on and I doubt we should wait any Japanese attack before starting our big war machine!" And he finished with this: "If you see him, tell Mickey Mouse to be prepared...the British attack was just a warning" Edited June 2, 2007 by Neo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FECrtn2 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2007 Steal this quote! :lol: "There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change. It is to use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wound, death and destruction one the enemy in the minimum amount of time." -Gen. Geroge S. Patton Jr. While the Blitzkrieg did emphasize speed and surprise, its not mentioned in that quote. For that reason, I like Pattons quote more. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feuersturm 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) :lol: I mis-spelled it the first time by accidentally adding an e to the end. I totally missed that.... It is now corrected. Sad thing is his book was sitting on my desk too.
