Stalin's Fourth '06

Historical Background

Following the successes against the Germans during 1943 and the beginning of 1944, Soviet Union launched the fourth of its ten strategic attacks on June 9th 1944, north east of Leningrad. The largest Soviet offensive of 1944 was timed to support of the western allies, who had landed in Normandy three days earlier. The objective of the Soviet attack was to force Finland out of the war and ultimately conquer it.
 

ORDER OF BATTLE

 

Each unit consists of 10-12 players. The units have either fighter, attack (jabo) or bomber emphasis, even though every unit always has some fighters and tanks as well.

 

Units:

FAF has

     - 2 fighter units (FAF1, FAF2)

     - 1 bomber unit (FAF3)

LW has:

     - 2 fighter/attack units (FAF4, FAF5)(in the first frame as FAF fighter units)

VVS has:

     - 4 fighter units (VVS01 - VVS04)

     - 4 attack units (VVS05 - VVS08)

     - 2 bomber units (VVS09 - VVS10)

 

Home bases:

- The initial home air bases are marked below each unit's name in the table.

- The country CO:s can decide the initial home vehicle bases for each unit.

 

Planes:

- Each unit has a certain number of plane slots in their resources. These slots can be filled with various planes and they represent the actual planes available for the unit in the current frame.

- The initial number of planes available is marked in "amount" column of frame 1.

- The additional planes received before frames 2, 3 and 4 are marked in their "amount" columns.

- New planes can be used for replacing the remaining rides and for filling the empty slots.

- In case the remaining and newly received planes do not fill all the slots, the planes in last column are used for the empty slots.

  (Note: There will always be the same number of planes available to the unit in the beginning of each frame, even though the types may vary.)

 

- Bomber drones are not counted as planes in any occasion. However, drones are allowed.

 

- FAF4 and FAF5 cannot keep any of their remaining planes after frame 1

  (See the special rule "Kuhlmey" in "Between the Frames" -section.)

 

Tanks:

- The maximum available number of available tanks (Pnzr & T34) is not limited by initial slots. The surviving tanks from previous frame remain in the unit resources and the newly received tanks are added to the resources.

  (Note: The amount of available tanks can become higher or lower than the initial amount.)

- The initial number of tanks available is marked in "amount" column of frame 1.

- The additional tanks received before frames 2, 3 and 4 are marked in their "amount" columns.

- LVT-4:s (available at certain waterfront bases) act as substitutes for tanks to enable water crossing! Their usage and losses are counted from tank resources!

 

Unlimited rides:

- Each unit has unlimited resources of M-3 and LVT-2 (both for troops only) and C-47 (for supplies only).

- The unlimited rides are not marked in the resource table and their usage does not have to be counted.

- All gunner positions in air and in ground are also unlimited.

 

 

 

About the table:

- The grey amounts indicate smaller reinforcements than the original resource!

- The bolded amounts and types indicate new ride types!
