And then he can launch attacks in the weakened south.4th Dimension said:
To authAAR: Well done! Keep up the good work.
Update nr.53
My worst fears come true when Germans start expanding their conquests.
They smash the Red Army in Poltava. I could have held it a bit longer, but
my divisions were getting pounded without mercy by 8 German panzer divisions.
Germans don't stop in Poltava, they advance further - to Zaporozhye.
Red Army is forced to retreat again. Casualities are hudge.
Ten new Red Army divisions are deployed to the East and Imperial Japanese Army
is completely stopped. Now all i need is some fast divisions to lead the offensive against Japanese.
I think cavalry is the best choice in this situation.
After destroying the Germans near Leningrad i free up some precious divisions.
I will use them to bring peace and socialism to Finish people. The plan is simple: take their VP provinces
before they react. I will devote 80 divisions for this so i expect a quick victory.
While Red Army is taking up positions near Finnish border
the Soviet artists created and politicians approved the new flag
of Finnish SSR.
And here is the current frontlines:
Germans took Zaporozhye and Stalino - two very important provinces.
Now i am losing about 200 energy per day. Rare material, metal and oil stockpiles are also decreasing rapidly.
The economic future of the state is looking grim. I'm already spending 100 IC's on supplies and soon
i will need even more of them to trade with Americans for energy and metal.
Germans are too busy in the South to notice
the gathering storm in the North. That's where i will make my move
and hopefully crush the nazis once and for all.

German panzers in the Ukraine is not good. Not good at all...
Hopefully your planned use of overwhelming numbers to crush the Finns doesn't backfire like it did IRL.

Maby he'll be able to pull out some nice encirclement in the south. Remember Stalingrad?
Once Finland falls, he can use those 80 divisions in the south to stop the Germans from going too far. Good job so far.
Possibly a good idea, but consider the following: It will take a while to get to the south from Finland. The divisions could more quickly and therefore easily exploit the weakness of the north to go on the offensive and divert German divisions from the south. Make Hitler do the work, right? Another advantage of attacking in the north is that the huge amount of divisions that will be available for the offensive will mean that the authAAR can attempt large encirclements and cut-offs. Were he to send the divisions south, it would only stop the Germans, not eliminate them.
Good work, and good luck with the Finns.
Perhaps you can take Norway? It won't take too many divisions, and you'll still have plently to continue putting lots of pressure on the Germans in the north.
To Panzer6:
I won't send those divisions to the South, because i already lost what was worth
defending in that area. And it would take forever to deploy them down there.
To germanpeon:
You are 100% right :]
To likk9922:
Norway is not a priority, but i will surely take it. Stalin needs to expand his sphere of influence
and Soviet artists already designed the Norwegian SSR flag:

Norway is actually pretty hard to take sometimes. Though i'm sure one way or the other the invaders will be suitably dealt a crushing defeat.
Shame about the temporary loss of Zaporozhye and Stalino...

80 divisions? For Finland???
All you need is to take Helsinki and Turku, then the event will fire.
20 divisions + some paras would be enough.

Well, I have a crazy suggestion, using the 80 divs to storm through Norway and Sweden and then do an amphibious landing in Denmark and/or France, Flanders, etc. using the captured naval bases.
The flag of The Danish SSR has been made too

Update nr.54
Germans hide behind river Daugava, but it proves to be
a meagre obstacle for the almighty Red Army. Thousands of soldiers
and tanks get across the river and engage Germans in Jekapils.
Soon i will bring the war to the German lands.
Jekapils is defended mostly by foreign volunteers: Latvians, Lithuanians and Estonians.
Traitors! I will crush them all! And then i will punish them further by bringing them socialism!
That will teach them to mess with Stalin.
Another daring attack in the South. Germans tanks try to resist and hold their positions for four days.
But that means four days of suffering for their infantry.
8 days later Red Army arrives in Zaporozhye, leaving 2 German divisions encircled in Stalino.
These divisions are dealt with immediately. A small pocket, but a pocket nevertheless.
And some news from the Pacific. Axis anex another small Allies member.
That is strange, since Japan controlled every single Philippine province for more than
a month now and didn't anex. Maybe they were afraid to do it officialy?
That concludes this update. Expect more ;]

I see another potential pocket created by an idiotic German advance into Belgorod.
Socialism isnt much of a punishment, is it? More like a reward. Bring them capitalism and the horrors of income inequality!
Update nr.55
Italian naval bombers track down my fleet. These must be the notorious aces
who sank those British carriers! Interceptors from Riga rush to help the sailors.
4 destroyer flotillas are heavily damaged, but i avoid any real casualities.
My ships return to Leningrad and start repairing. Too bad there is no safe place for
my frontline soldiers. Germans exploit every opportunity to attack me. This time they attack
heavily defended Sumy, and win!
Two more pockets are created:
I surround 9 German divisions in Kurland, but they manage to escape. They don't run too far however.
I trap them in Memel few days later. This time they are done for it.
The second pocket is made in Zhlobin, when Germans blitz through Vyshgorod and forget
to defend their rear properly. Three panzer divisions are eliminated just like that. I bet Hitler is
the mastermind behind this silly offensive. What was he thinking?
The big map shows my current frontlines and my main goal for this year.
Germans continue to advance to the East. Maybe they are trying to establish a land link with the Japanese?
Well, good luck for them.
Up in the North my armies are in position to take Finland and Norway.
Mother nature won't save the Finns now!

Can you cut through Priluki/Poltava/Zaporozhye from Melitopol and Chernigov? You would have a river to the West and two pockets to the East.
