Re: The big picture, again
Edit: I just found that TOAW doesn't support river ports. I didn't know that! :shy:
I've been thinking about amphibious operations too, or rather their impossibility right now. Outside the Baltic, where they are useless, there are only two Russian ports left--Astrakhan and Arkhangelsk. Stefan has taken all others, and seeing where and when he's been advancing and where and when he stopped doing so, I have begun to wonder if there wasn't method to it. Even the Kuban offensive may have been primarily about taking my last Black Sea port, Novorossiysk, and getting to Maikop or in the rear of my Caucasus front may only have been the secondary objective or even some diversionary threat. (Funny thing btw that Rostov, one of the most important river ports of the European USSR, is no anchorage hex in the game. Nor is Azov, even more obvious, as it's both on the Don and the Black Sea coast.)B) if you can retain the Kuban, and mask the Crimea, do the Soviets have the chance to launch amphibious assaults across the Black Sea at the Danube (in 1944, again) ?
