Because our roster is full, and I want this new 85mm gun, the Penal Rifle Squad is sent back to prison. Fens, Trash and others will be however added to the reserve list so that they may yet see some more action.
back to siberia... the railroadtracks won't repair themselves after all... luckily there is no soap to pick up

Thank you for your comments! They all are really appreciated.

I believe option 2 has won. Let us proceed a little bit. No normal update today though.



It's two days later and Cleve prepares to attack our positions again. Scouts report that he has brought with him a massive army, perhaps even stronger than the last time. Neanderthal seems to be extremely determined to attain the glory of being the conqueror of Moscow, and posses vast resources to exact his will.

Our company is now rested and ready for battle. We have approximately 90 requisition points right now. The available reinforcements are rather weak, no decent AT gun is within our reach at the moment. Therefore, an important choice has to be made. Should we:

1) Conserve our resources. Let's save points for something really decent, like T-34 or KV-1 tanks rather than buy a bunch of useless equipment incapable of penetrating enemy armor.

2) Buy whatever is available. The possible consequences of loosing this battle might be disastrous. Even some pile of junk might slow the Germans a bit, and that's what we should be doing.

I say the middle road is the best approach. Naturally, reinforce the current forces, maybe add another big AT gun to support Lyric Suite's roughnecks. How much would this leave for worst case reserves?

Can't lose Moscow, bro

Though I would prefer the oprion of "send out women strapped with homemade explosices as booby traps", but I guess the russians didn't figure that one out.

AT guns are visible from across the map and are free rides for mortars! NO MORE FREE RIDES!

Russians did the other thing during the battle of Moscow. They sent dogs fitted with explosives. They were taught that they will always find food inside a tank, so they were seeking them on their own. But they had also a wooden stick attached to the bomb. So while they got close to the tank, stick broke and the bomb exploded. But it did not turn out to be very effective. After a few incidents, Germans became weary of dogs, shooting them on sight. And dogs, even when starving, are easily scared off by gunshots.

plus they were trained to do that with russian tanks so instead of running to the german lines and crawling under german tanks, they turned around and came back to look for food under soviet ones
