Comrades!
I will be the CO of the Soviet forces in this scenario. I am hereby inviting all pilots and tankers who like good fights, exciting battles, great comradeship and increased rations of combat vodka to join the glorious forces of the Red Army and Airforce.
It will be a Mother of All Battles, an event to remembers for years to come. I can guarantee this - You do not want to miss this one!

I have a bottle of Vodka ready just for this occasion. :D
Comrades! for Mother Russia!

:lol
Good, I'm glad you have flown on the anti-communist side. You have stepped up, and I hope you can lead those who wish to follow your footsteps.
Sympathetic socialist around the world prevented nations from applying more than pathetically small military opposition to the Socialist Revolution. Lenin was then able to provide the Soviet Union the "change" it wanted, and look at how "well" Stalin has done with this massive government power after Lenin's death.
So I ask you my British friend, supporter of Churchill who also warned of the Bolsheviks rise to power, whom do you wish to support in this second World War? As a British AH pilot, you all should fly "with" the Luftwaffe, against Stalin and his communistic radicals and his secret police who have infiltrated many nations around the world. Fight against the once democratic nation, which changed to socialism, then transformed to communism via corruption! Help us Germans gain back the people, land and culture you stole from us in your Treaty of Versailles. Stop making more mistakes and for once in your history, make the right decision that will have great and long lasting effects to the world that will not lead to more wars.
Don't fall into the trap with Communism!

Fight against the Bolsheviks!

Join the fight against Communism and help defeat the Red Army

If communism survives, you too will become infected with a Communist Party in your Future!

Just say NO to Communism!

So Bruv and to all other AH British pilots, it is not I who asks you to fight, but rather your inner call to rid the world of this disease communism is. Show the world that you are not socialists or anti-capitalists, but rather free men that live in a Great Nation. AH pilots of Britain, now is the time to defeat communism, so fight along side the Luftwaffe in this next scenario.
</propaganda>
Uh Kermit,
You do realise that Churchill did SUPPORT the Soviets, saying that "If Hitler invaded Hell, The British people would ally themselves with the devil". Where do you think all those Russian Hurricanes came from. ;)

I :salute your attempt to convince me with all this propaganda Kermit! :D
Comrade Wurzel has already allied himself with the Crazy Finns in March. They got to him and brainwashed him full of Communist thoughts. Also Comrade Tilt is a walking / talking Lavochkin expert. I cannot change my loyalties due to these allegiances.
Like Our hand was FORCED to declare war on Germany after the invasion of Poland. My hand is forced to fly with my Comrades.
PS: I don't have in my possession any good german beers. If you want to send me some I might reconsider :)
Made in Germany - "Ya know the Germans always make good stuff."

Here is a good description of the real battle - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vistula-Oder_Offensive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vistula-Oder_Offensive).
Must have been desperate times for the Germans. Especially after "the greatest imposture since Genghis Khan" comments coming from their leader :rolleyes:

You europeans and your "secret alliances until activated" will be your DOWNFALL! :mad:
How dare you attempt to ask for a bribery from me! You say bribery can "change" a man's opinion, but what you fail to understand is that is also changes a man's heart for the worst.
If your beloved Churchill's own 1918 words can not sway you, perhaps you are just like those in the past who "changed" Churchill's opinion in 1939. Bruv, as a british I understand you have imperialism and oppression on weaker cultures bred into you, but you are not dealing with a weaker nation anymore. We are capable of fighting oppression and we are capable of destroying you. My intentions are not to threaten you, but only to ask the good inside of you to arise.
I ask that you rise above your corruption, rise above personal hatred towards any nation more powerful than you, RISE above your personal need to fly the best aircraft, and disregard your past secret alliances you've made with others and to simply follow your heart. I believe you can rise above your own issues, and stand to fight along side us Germans.
Bruv, time is of the essence.

sounds a little more personal and heated this time Herr Kermit!
Desperate words from a desperate man.
I rip your love letters in two and say to you this. The only warmth coming in your direction will be the sharp end of some 20mm and some empty bottles of vodka!
Any Heads up on a Registration opening date brooke?
Once the rules are gelled enough, we will post them and the final schedule and open registration.
Currently, tentatively, it's looking like test frame on Oct. 24, frame 1 on Oct. 31, and so on.
Speaking of which,
When can we expect the rules out?
Im very eager to see what the rules, objectives, and order of battle are.
:lol
Hey, I'm just a messenger. :O
Very nice work on the image.
T-34/85 and T-34/76 player's choice of either in those units.
Germany will have the Bf 109K-4, FW 190D-9, Bf 109G-14, Bf 109G-6, FW 190A-8, FW 190F-8, Bf 110G-2, Ju 88A-4, Tiger I, Panzer IV H, Ostwind, Wirblewind, and SdKfz 251. The Soviet Union will have the La-7, Yak-9U, La-5FN, P-39Q, A-20G, Il-2, B-25C, T-34, Sherman, Ostwind, Wirblewind, and M3.
Once the rules are gelled enough, we will post them and the final schedule and open registration.Wait, so I have to choose between the Scenario and Halloween parties with scantily clad teenagers? How am I supposed to do that?

T-34 is fifth to last on that list... :huh

I was referencing its spot so Ranger could find it, not complaining of hierarchy. :) Yet. :D
not complaining of hierarchy. :) Yet. :D
The list is: German stuff then Russian stuff (as there are two sides, one is always listed first). Inside each side's stuff is aircraft list then vehicle list (rather than a mix of all of them together). Inside the vehicle list, the tanks are first. So, it's an algorithm.
What an algorithm?
I think I saw one of those advertised on an infomercial on late night TV...
I want one...
BUT WAIT...THERE IS MORE!
:P
Question about the rules Brooke, I'm reading this at work so I may have missed it. Will the Bombers be allowed to take formations and will dive bombing be allowed or denied?
I realize that B25s and Ju88s will NOT be attacking GV's themselves but I want to make sure that dive bombing with formations is either allowed or denied.
Formations are allowed and the Ju88 was a dive bomber. Dive bombing with formations.. well good luck with that. ;)
This (http://tinyurl.com/2n3psh) is surely what will be playing through my Batallion's radios.That is pretty much the theme song for the P-39, A-20, and your GVs. So anyway, how many of them can we make die? My money is on at least two thirds.

These songs are guaranteed to prepare you to the great battle, which is upon us. Long live Soviet Union! salute
Is there something wrong with the link? I cant get it to work.

Forums are up. :)
I don't see them, or are they only for the select few for now?
HOLY CRAP Axis already full? Looks like this will be the first scenario I miss. <S> all, have a good time.
You are precluded by magical geas not to fly allied? Come join the Red Storm!
Normally, I would, but this was supposed to be the one time I did exactly what I wanted to do regardless of what was actually needed. i.e. Fly German, and NOT fly a bomber.
You still have the chance to fly the best plane with the best pilots, don't miss this opportunity :aok

Could I get access to the Allied forum please? Callsign is Zap, but BBS is Tordon22! Thanks in advance.
registered in the A-20/il2 section... but no choices :confused:No, no, no, absolutely not. As a dedicated Luftwaffe pilot for this scenario, I DO NOT want to see cobia in an A-20. I will tell Brooke or whomever on the Allied side that it would be a wise decision for you to put him in an IL-2. :noid
please tell me you will stick me in a Havoc, for my own sanity and for more dead german planes {and a gv or 2} :salute

The next scenario will be Red Storm/Krupp Steel. The exact schedule is not yet set, but we are aiming to start it sometime in late October. It will be a four-frame event.
January 12, 1945. The Soviet Union launches a massive assault toward Germany, along a battle front stretching for hundreds of miles. Their forces include 2.2 million men, 33,500 guns, 7,000 tanks and assault guns, and 5,000 aircraft. The goal is to obliterate German defenses in Poland and smash forward to Berlin. The Red Storm is raging.
In response, Germany pulls nearly all of its air-defense forces from elsewhere to focus here at this battle and deploys elite Panzer divisions. The line of defense is drawn at the Oder river. Krupp Steel is gathered in strength.
There will be air-to-air combat as the Luftwaffe and the VVS vie for control of the air. There are strategic targets to bomb, in order to obliterate the enemy’s infrastructure and supply lines. There are deadly tank battles to be fought. There are bases to fight over. It will be a gritty, desperate fight in the cold, the mud, and the cloud-streaked skies -- time to do or die.
Germany will have the Bf 109K-4, FW 190D-9, Bf 109G-14, Bf 109G-6, FW 190A-8, FW 190F-8, Bf 110G-2, Ju 88A-4, Tiger I, Panzer IV H, Ostwind, Wirblewind, and SdKfz 251. The Soviet Union will have the La-7, Yak-9U, La-5FN, P-39Q, A-20G, Il-2, B-25C, T-34, Sherman, Ostwind, Wirblewind, and M3.
The rule set is not yet finalized. More information will be posted when it is available.
im guessing these are to make up for the Tu-2 and the Pe-2?That, and they were also Lend-Lease craft.
