Red front is easy once you get the hang of it. I never lose Rostov or Voroshilovgrad anymore, I'm on the offensive in '42/43 and take Berlin around '44. The trick is to build lots of KV-1s and AA guns to defend cities, put howitzers, SU assault guns, and tanks to counterattack around the city (tanks can also fortify), then go on the offensive using Katyushas 1st against the city, then Red Guards, SUs and tanks.
Get La-5s and Yaks to shoot down enemy planes, but don't sacrifice tanks for them. Forget the bomber, its crap. Instead use the Shturmovik.

Build lots of industry. Get as many cities as you can up to turning out 1 T34/85 a turn. Smaller cities near the front can turn out Red Guards, they're suprisingly effective against cities.

Read your history so you know where they're gonna attack then fortify like mad.

In 41, send all units with no home city east. Put minefields and forts at crossings on the Don near cities, particularly Voronzeh(sp?) and the one south of it (S-something), make Cavalry and have them hide in the forests at the crossings with swamp. A vet Cav can take out a PzIV on a swamp easily.

IIRC Loneburg or Hamburg had about 162 Waffen SS garissoned in late 1944. How could one take it?


The most amazing thing was when i destroyed 62(SIXTY TWO) StuGs at a single battle with a T-70.
Are you sure they where all StuGs?
Couldn't there have been say 61 StuGs and one other kind of unit (which creates StuGs upon it's death)... ?

In which case it is time to think about surrender!

HisMajestyBOB gives some good advice here.

His strategy is sort of similar to mine:

Fight a rear guard action until the good soviet units come, then dig in.

Once the Wehrmacht has broken it's nose, go on the offensive!

Could be. I did check the casualty list afterwards but can not be absolutely sure.

I got a stack of 48 PzwIIIs outside of Leningrad once. Ive only played through RF once. I killed all three "Karl" mortars in the autmn 1941, think that might have short circuited any events?

It definitely screwed up Adolf's plans for taking over Leningrad!

Good work!

I think some winter units.gif is missing too. I had to use the summer units.gif for a season. I think it was No3.

I had taken it from Civfanatics.

Sound 3 download is also bad at the CSC Apolyton site, it contains the 8 extra sound files. The other files should be good.
