We picked up 3 finished XXs, others are working up to L3 ; these things take time .
Kiev was a City, is now a flat spot .

Once you get a unit ON THE MAP TO L3, you can add stuff to it !!

Construction this month : 4 WFs, 1 RR .

The tussle at Kiev goes on ... while new units (G 2s>G 3s) are massing XXs for cycling the defenses along the Dnepr bend; We think we've more troops gathering here, than Bozo has to waste .
This is first time I've seen 2 RR guns in the SAME TILE before !! ("The Sound of DESPERATION [??]")
Our Medium armor on the map, and 10 XXs are 'aging up' to L2; this will get interesting real soon ... T-44s versus '41 Panzers .

16 February'42. O ! , what a JOY it is to be in, or counting down to, logistical green !
Being able to FUND on an almost daily basis, (+supports), BNs, and XXs, will allow us to afford reasonable casualties on Our way to the German western borders .

So I'm greedy; I want to WIN ! 65WFs ain't much, is it ?? AA2 and ARTY2 will save my arse .

Holy, suffering SNIT !!
24 February'42.
I clean forget about TRAINS !, if Bozo wants to shoot up my trains, I'd better build some . Then I can build Armored Trains to kill CAS in the unconquered territories .
Up gunning my INF with 3 Arty BNs will give even Bozo pause, being in historical mode, I'll BLEED them before sending in the tanks .

Yeah, I couldn't get Lessons of War before Barbarossa, but German invaders are STILL west of the Dnepr Line; and aside from the dozen or so units wounded unto L2, and units training to L3, everybody else Is L3 or better .

Speaking about Medium Tanks, my T-44s are at 3.71/day, that's 14 days/BN; IF no WFs are added ... but they're on the wish list .
Re-organizing CFs and WFs in the middle (muddle?) of a flowing program is a bitch, when you need a new thing or 2, NOW ! , not next month .

UNIT STATS :
G1..........134.....9/0[+arty] ;
G2..........136.....9/1[+arty, eng, AA] ;
G3..........32........9/2[+arty, eng, AA] , that's 202 INF XXs, plus a few noobies training up to L3 G1s ;

After many hours of sweaty thought, a massive WF swap was done; We've GOT cannon coming out of Our MULES, but damn little AA for Our Armor . Thís has been fixed .
Armor being a high value target for CAS, WE've prepared a CAS trap .

PRODUCTION :
TYPE. WFs ,P/D, +/- :
ARTY2........30/30........46.88
INF2............20/20........256.88
TRUCK........4/6.............11.23
Ltank...........2/3.............1.80
Mtank.........12/13........3.75
FTR...............3/3.............4.09
SUP...............18/20.......28.22......-19
AA2...............44/45.......29.80.....+19 ; in a few days WE'll add FLAK to Our own PANZERS {*ha ha*} .

It'll take a few days for the numbers to rearrange into useful forms ... AA from the top down, supply from the bottom up; and everybody gets artillery .
Unit numbers for 27 February'42 are unchanged .

I'm halfway through the reallocations of WFs, tanks and air need to grow a bit, but progress is being made .

8 March'42. So let's get to the numbers :
PRODUCTION ;
TYPE..........WFs..........P/D
AA2...........44/45.......31.14
ARTY2......30/30........47.50
INF2..........20/20.......259.01
TRUCK......4/6............11.28
SUPPLY.....18/20.......28.53
Ltank.........2/3............1.80
Mtank.......12/13.......3.80
FTR.............3/3............4.16 .

UNITS :
G1.........134
G2.........138
G3.........36
MTN.....13
MO1.....1?
MO2.....1
CAV.......20
nkvd.....18
ME1......11
ME2......1 .

April could see Log.Co.s and Maint.Co.s as Research slots come open .
 
22 March'42. Almost done with the WF swap; just a few to go . We've been making INF XXs stronger, tanks more lethal, and AA is spreading all over the place .

WFs are mobile, they don't need to be set in stone in one job; once you hit a 'fallback' number of item production, you have a choice :
A] Let those WFs stay in place, and watch units made/day go up; or
B] Move some WFs to another new job, while cutting the unit production down to sustainable levels;
I've now got 20 WFs on INF2 making 259.01/day ... do I want 1 or 2 WFs to move somewhere else, to get to 250/day, OR to chop WFs to get to 200/day ??

But do you REALLY need Armored Trains enough to send 4-6 WFs to start that new line ??? They're expensive, but USEFUL .
IF an Armored Train is built, will it head for the front lines ?, or wonder off to Ufa ??

As WFs come off the building line, you can place these new WFs where you will .

This long-winded diatribe leads us to 'comfortable' territories, that would yield a XX, air group, BN, etc./time on a regular basis . My current Grunt 3 XX to build requires ;
10900 manpower,
910 INF2.
84 Arty,
20 (+AA), and
120 days/XX .
So if you want to put a G3 INF XX to build, it takes 4 days; other XXs take a lot longer, and then there's TRAINING TIME to add on to that
.
THE CURRENT NUMBERS :
TYPE........WFs........P/D..........GROUP/D
AA2..........45/45....35.71..........(+20)/1day, 50/BN/2days
ARTY2.....24/24.....43.82.........(+12)/1day, 36/BN/1day
INF2.........20/20.....279.48........11000/XX/4days
TRUCK.....5/6..........13.12..........35/BN/3days
SUP...........18/20.....30.80
Ltank........3/3...........2.23............60/BN/27days
Mtank......15/15......4.64............50/BN/11days
FTR............3/3...........3.52............100/GROUP/29days

UNITS :
G1.....128
G2......132
G3......46.....ALL INF..306
Mtn...13
MO1..1?
MO2..1
CAV...20
nkvd..18
ME1...11
ME2...1 .

Dare I go into RR Guns [800 IC] ?

Click to expand...
this isn't really the case, especially if you went concentrated industry. production efficiency is huge and the more you swap the more you lose.

27 April'42. 5 XXs of T-44s rolled off the pipeline, and working up to L3 !

The numbers a month later :
G1........126
G2........121
G3........59 (=306 INF XXs) .
MTN...13
Mo1....1
Mo2....5 ( 4 XX of Mo2, 1 XX of Mo1 working up to L3 at TCs; 1 L3 XX of Mo2 ON MAP) .
Cav......20

PRODUCTION :

AA2..........40.............36.90
ARTY2.....24.............45.33
INF2.........20............287.34
TRUCK.....6..............14.89

Ltank........5..............2.48
Mtank......22/25.....6.10..........23/25.......6.59..as of 16 May'42.
FTR...........3...............3.78/w .

We'll have to wait for 4 XXs to get to L3, and go hunting a lone German tank XX, to see who wins . Bozo is still west and south of the Dnepr Line as We go into May'42 .

16 May'42. O!!, flopping (wildly UNPRINTABLE) !! I'd had 4 XX of Mo1s roll off the pipeline as L2s, and 2 days later promoted them into Mo2s . BIG MISTAKE; they were dropped down to L1s ! *Well, I'd blessed them with 350 T-44s, 1400 in all ...* lesson learned, here .
#5 T-44 XX is at L2, going to L3 normally, 10 Trucks/50 T-44s .
 
17 May'42.
As we slog through '41, my 12 L. tank XXs are becoming rusty dust bunnies, and I should send them to Far East perhaps or disband them . 6:5, pick 'em .
OTOH, my T-44s are ramping up, which will help a lot .

PRODUCTION :
TYPE..............WFs.............P/D.............+/- ON HAND
AA2...............40.................39.02...........737
ARTY2..........24.................46.25...........6

MTN.13

Mo2..5.....(4 cooking)
CAV...........20
nkvd.........18

Bozo has taken 1 tile NE of Kiev ,ACROSS THE DNEPR, which must be erased! IF I can do this I've got a good chance of holding the whole line .
Tanks [>30-35 WFs] and then Arty2 [>72+/day] get priority through '42 as We finish Our rebalancing of WFs .
 
24 May'42.
Bozo has made no progress beyond the 1 tile across the Dnepr NE in Kiev State .
Our T-44 XXs are working up to L3 quickly; and production of T-44s have reached 7.50/day ... possible snowballing ?
Elsewhere, we could decide to invest 8 WFs into rubber on halftracks, or air ... a choice for later .
WE ARE AWARE THAT THIS THREAD HAS BEEN MOVED, but the wish list above shows that We are working on a "blind" Soviet WIP, as I figure out how to navigate BBA .
Knowing that there 2 RR guns in Kiev, here are TODAYS NUMBERS :

G1......117
G2......125
G3......68 (306 XXs)
Mtn...13
Mo1..5
Mo2..5
Cav....20
nkvd.18
Me1..11
Me2..1

PRODUCTION :
TYPE..........WFs..........P/D..........ON HAND
AA2...........40.............39.92.......1173
ARTY2......24..............46.25......57
INF2.........20...............289.35...441

Ltank.......1..................0.7..........40
Mtank.....28/30.........7.50.......-1457
FTR...........3..................1.21.......96 .

So WHERE is it being moved TO ??
