I'm not a specialist on the subject, that's why I will post my thought on the Russian question here, in the hope that others could help me and tell me if it is plausible or not. If we know that it could be sensitive, remember that our main goal in the Fatherland team is to provide provide a content both realistic and enjoyable for us and our players, because DH is a game
At the start of the mod, there is the different RKs, the Lokot Republic (under Kaminsky/RONA) and a military zone at the border with the Soviet Union wich include Moscow. (and a Cossack State, wich independance is guaranteed by Germany but not directly controled)
Until the death of Hitler, there is already implemented events wich allow the Lokot Republic to ask Germany for more territories, but that's only a few non important provinces bordering it.
Howewer, if WW3 start, then I think Germany could give more autonomy and territories to the regime, in order to let them deal with the partisans and perhaps raise some troops (militia-quality) for the war effort. But nothing to significant, and not Moscow obviously.
After the death of Hitler, depending on who will take the power, Germany could decide to create a form of Russian state espcially if WW3 start, in wich the Lokot Republic would be integrated. But this state wouldn't be fully trusted by Germany and control perhaps no more than half of the German directly administred zone that you could see at the start of the game, moving with frontline; (in term of unit, infantry/cavalry/militia, no armored or motorized). I'm not sure about what to do with Moscow, Hitler could have destroyed it before he die (I think Tonie have a project on this).
As leadership, I see a choice between Konstantin Voskoboinik (HoS)+ Bronislav Kaminsky (HoG) and their administration from the Lokot (see in game) or Andrei Vlassov from the Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia (KONR), with perhaps Constantine Kromiadi as HoG.
It would also lack leaders: is there any russian (or else :happy
that could make a list?
I have found: Andrei Vlassov, Constantine Kromiadi, Boris Shteifon, Mikhail Skorodumov, Anatoly Rogozhin, Anton Tourkoul, Mikhail Meandrov, Sergei Bunyachenko, Ivan Frolov, Abram Dragomirov, Vladimir Boyarsky, Bronislav Kaminsky.
There is also Semyon Trofimovich Bychkov for the air force.
That's a begining but more would be better
I'm also thinking of Germany sending a military mission to the Cossack state. That would give them some blueprints, a military leader and a techteam, and in german eyes makes them more useful in the event of a war with Soviet Union. For command it, I see
Helmuth von Pannwitz, but I welcome any other name if there is ideas.
I love this mod, if you guys keep at it, this could be the next kaiserreich
Thanks a lot!
(especially since KR is a kind of legend and we far away it polished and eventfull stage
)
