Keep Cleveland, come with something like the alter-ego of the Ubermensch, or the non-Nearderthal shadow to justify it.

Cleve's neanderthal forces are dangerous. We must allow ourselves the chance to fall back if necessary.

It doesn't look very good. Kingcomrade managed to requisition a Maxim machinegun, a flamethrower and a team of some sentenced convicts. The situation of our Motherland must be truly desperate, so that these measures have to be taken.
As always, the central hill is occupied by 76,2 mm AT gun and HMG team. This is our last line of defence.
The village of Boguslav. It took us too great effort to give it up now without fight. It is defended mainly by militia with no training whatsoever and a penal infantry team made up of sentenced convicts, most notably, infamous Fens twin brothers. To give those greens some serious firepower, additional MMG team was placed (its commander is our brave sniper from Operation Barbarossa, Hory), a flamethrower has been hidden as a naughty surprise in the rear, and everything is supervised by wounded, shaken, but not stirred Commander Kingcomrade. God... i mean Stalin help us all.
Hell breaks loose nearly instantly. Germans got some heavy assault team in that building with incredible firepower of automatic weapons, while virtually every of our bros got merely ancient bolt-action rifles. Even Maxim fire won't impress those Umbermenschen, and to makes things worse enemy mortar starts shelling our position.
Fortunately, even the team of prisoners stand strong and put up fierce resistance.
The Maxim cannot fire accurately, because it is pinned down. Its probably a first priority target for the enemy.
The situation is not looking very good. Kingcomrade tries to rally his increasingly nervous troops.
Mortar starts getting more accurate, and Germans really shoot with everything they got at us.
Meanwhile, StuG III C appears on sight. Hi, *****.
One of our militia bros was killed and nearly everyone is freaked out.
They can't take it any longer. The defence completely collapses as most of our soldiers rout.
Great. StuG hit the gun, damaging it. The crew abandoned the now useless gun.
With defence of Boguslav broken and AT gun eliminated, let's run as long as we still can.
Although hard, the battle resulted in nearly no casualties. Let's hope we can stop the Germans next time.

Meanwhile, my HoI3 campaign has been great success. Operation Typhoon launched in May 1942, and succeeded in taking both Moscow (in July) and Stalingrad (in October). In summer 1943, the Soviet Union surrendered. Now it's just a matter of defending the shores (easy as hell with Eastern Front quantity of panzer divisions) and building up Kriegsmarine for Seelöwe (projected date 1946).

Disappointing news from the front, but surely better days are ahead.

Cowardice and contrarevolutionairy activities will have you send to a penal batallion comrade. You do not want that. Onwards to Victory!

The fourth day of our heroic struggle. Cleve still does have a lot of both troops and time. We cannot fail!
The state of our company is pathetic. But we have received much more reinforcements than earlier.
All our AT guns are back in fighting shape, mutilated LMG team is reinforced, Penal Rifle Team has been promoted to a Squad and Kingcomrade got some new people to replace fallen Cloaked Figure and wounded Cassidy. The most weary and worthless units are given a day of rest.
The 76,2 mm AT gun with support of LMG team and command team occupies the southern hill. Interestingly, the radio operator that replaced Cassidy is called Cleveland Mark Blakemore, the same as the enemy commander. Kingcomrade was very reluctant to accept his service, but NKVD comissars assured him that this Cleve is a completely loyal communist.
Two 45 mm AT guns and heavy machinegun are placed on the second hill.
German artillery rains hell on Russian fortifications, but Kingcomrade was smart enough to anticipate it and decided to leave them empty. It'll be just like punching an empty bag.
Foolish German scouts run into an open ground.
LMG team immediately fire at them with all they have. Take that, krauts!
One of the shells seems to have went a bit too far, hitting near our northern positions. Ironyuri has been killed, and Malakal has been wounded!
Another German team took a small burned down settlement near the bunkers. They pay dearly for the insult, being mown down by HMG and AT guns.
Success! German Panzer III H tank has been knocked down by 76,2 mm AT!
However, an assault gun and another tank make an appearance. The gun crew does all they can to take them out.
The situation rapidly deteriorates as enemy armoured car and a halftrack emerge. Recognizing the insignia, Kingcomrade discovers that the armoured car is Cleve's personal command vehicle!
Cleve's rapid fire gun mows down the LMG infantry, killing Paula Tormeson IV and Gay-Lussac and severely wounding Skyway. AT gun is under fire of several guns and the halftrack turned out to have a highly accurate mortar. In order to avoid further losses, Kingcomrade orders immediate withdrawal.
A tactical defeat, but it is better to pull back this early on than to foolishly persist and suffer irreplaceable losses.

...who is this 'Cleve' guy they sent us anyway? A missing twin brother of our arch-nemesis? His clone?
Comrade Kingcomrade, I believe him be the same one and only Cleve after all. It is not that unusual for a commander during a world war where it is impossible to totally avoid combat to suffer from schizophrenia of some sort. For instance, I have recently found a very startling report on our general Andrei Vlassov:Vlassov must be a busy man. In one battle he is commanding german forces in bosnia, then he is commanding soviet forces in the same area. He must have a split personality. By day he is a diehard fascist 100% loyal to hitler and his cause, then by night he becomes a committed communist.
(The swastikas are missing because I took this 'report' from Paradox forums where it is forbidden to show them)
