I'm glad to see that after some failures you gained victory, hopefully it's sign of the better future and invasion plan in the Balkans goes well.
Thanks my comrades. The pics for the next update are ready, should post them tonight or tomorrow.
Sorry about the deleted posts as well, but it seems The Wookie felt it was needed to not only delete the pic but also references to it. Wasn't my request, just wanted you to know that.

If you have a problem with the rules you should take them up with me or any of the other AAR forum moderators, and not defile AARs. As such, I deleted and edited comments pertaining to policy.
Carry on, I enjoy lurking your AAR th3freakie

On it's way to Leningrad, the Baltic Fleet was called upon to assist in an Army operation to capture Germany's star Marshal von Rundstedt, in another massive propaganda coup for the Soviet Union.
After that, it provided cover for the Navy's submarines, as they departed their make-shift base in Riga to disrupt German and Finnish trade.
Only in the 15th did the Main Fleet dock at Leningrad, where the sailors where given time to rest and minor repairs were preformed, while the 17th Fleet at the same time protected the access into Leningrad and blockaded the Helsinki harbour.
There wasn't much rest of Commissar Kuznetsov though, as he planned, worried and ultimately waited for the right conditions to launch his Naval Infantry on the shores of the Black Sea.
He wouldn't have to wait too much, as in the morning of the 16th, the sun rose over a peaceful sea, and the attack was ordered. A coordinated operation between the Red Fleet and Red Army, the attack on the oldest Romanian city (now under Bulgarian control) was commanded by a Navy General.
The battle dragged on for many hours, but much thanks to massive shore bombardment, the Naval Infantry managed to outperform both the Bulgarian and German defenders, and the other Soviet forces.
The lone German tank division was the hardest to defeat, but even it couldn't hold out for long. Almost 24h since the attack started, it ended in Victory for the Reds.
The night of July the 18th saw the last attempt by the Bulgarians to drive the Naval Infantry away, and their failure marked the consolidation of Soviet occupation, as Red Flags were raised over the main buildings of the city.
Back in Leningrad, Commissar Kuznetsov felt relief, and also a bit of pride. After all, his Red Fleet was connected to the last two great successes of the War, and these had been a full continent apart from each other. He'd never say it to the Secretary's face, but deep inside he thought only these propaganda victories were keeping the Soviet Spirit alive during such a brutal aggression...

Looks like the Germans won't reach their objectives. ...But that short frontline means a long and painful stalemate. But your marines can always invade Germany from the sea.

Seems optimistic. Well done there, although storm501 is right - this can result in a boring stalemate. The number of your marines may be far less than enough to start a successful seabourne invasion of Germany.
Nah, after some bloody slaughter Germany soon run out of MP
The Soviets cant, especially with such specialization of troops as they have now.

its not usually too hard to make a hole somewhere in the line, as that isnt too thin. we're still talking 15 provinces wide.
Because he let Germany build up until 1940, while at the same time not spamming infantry.
Also: the Red Army do not consist of heroic marines
Hmm, you should probably move inland to seize Plooesti, that may help with a stalemate as the gerrys will run out of oil in a couple of years.
Great updates. The Red Fleets marines are fighting bravely and winning on many fronts! The invaders will not be allowed to violate the Rodina. There are no holes in the front lines, the Red Army is winning! Pravda's headlines will be detailing some new 'Heroes of the Soviet Union' soon surely?
Comrade Tanesis,
Comrade Tanesis,
You won't allow the Finns to capture Murmansk will you? It looks like you'r troops have been kicked out, and the Finns are advancing toward it. It sure would be a shame to lose your northern shipyards
Even if the Red Army fails in Murmansk, the Red Navy will keep on it's fight from Archangelsk!
Why do I see no submarines of the Arctic command harass German iron trade from Narvik? Surely this most vital port will not escape Stalin's attention.
Also, a landing here by marines (if lightly defended) could prove vital in splitting the axis forces and attack Finland from it's vulnerable neck!

Storm501 - short frontline? It's a continent wide! They can't all be like the KR AAR
Emperor_krk - insufficient is certainly is. Also, the German AI doesn't know how to deal with a landing north of Berlin so it would be exploitish really.
BritishImperial - That's the spirit! These German Puppets will soon fall! We'll make holes in their lines, uniforms, tanks... and most of all battleships!
Pwn*Star - You see what? Only a conspirator trying to undermine moral could see things that do not exist! There are no holes! Murmansk will never fall! The Finns are dying by the hundreds attacking it!
Hannibal Barca2 - Indeed, but don't go telling that to the Army. We don't want them to get jealous or anything
Also, your ideas on submarine warfare are generally correct, only we lack the means... the submarines stationed in Arkhangelsk just don't have the range.
Teep - You'll have pleasant surprises in the next couple of updates then...
Tanesis - Keep it up, and not only may your record be wiped clean, you might earn a little column at the Pravda.
The Wookiee, LOka and Slaughts - many thanks! Stay tuned!
