    It says the Baltic Special Military District. I'm sure I can find it in some of the books I have at home, if you'd like some more sources I can find them for ya. I have a lot of books on the Red Army. ;)

    It evolved into the Northwest Front.

    Basically the point is that against a good Axis player the soviets are toast. Since there is no way to change the intial setup of their forces. Especially against the AI.

    HQ's may be the solution for making it hard on the Axis.

    AFAIK the northwest front did not evolve to this at the eve of Barbarossa. The same goes for the southwest front and the western front as well. Instead as far as I recall fronts(armygroups) were the name for the units within the military district itself.

    But I dont see no point arguing over this. Well if the Soviets should get HQ why not the french? Fact is that apart from the southwestern front not much worked during the first 3 month in the soviet command structure.

    The thing I feel appalling with SC instead is the fact that axis can fight the allies to a stallmate -in 47. That is so wrong and not ww2 at all. Allied resources for the US and Russia must be increased so that German chances of winning the war offensively will fade away in the start of 1943.

    There is an excellent boardgame outthere called "Totaler krieg" in which the axis reach a highwater mark and then begins to be pushed back. Peace is determined on how much the axis can hold off its gained ground. So both sides get an offensive and defensive period during the game. Much more historical and definately much more interesting.

    Konstantin; you got the names right but military districts were not equivalient(how do you spell it?) to fronts. For instance there were never such thing as a "Baltic MD front" instead it was called "Northwest front". The same goes for Kiev MD which had a front called Southwest Front stationed there.

    I dont believe in givin USSR more HQ. Instead I think that Industry tech should be higher.

    Rambo with all respect for you as a player. Please dont get into a political debate which only makes people angry. Personally my opinion on politics differs quite a lot from yours it seem but to call european parties for socialists and hardworkin unions as worthless may be a sign of plain stupidity. I think quite a lot of non-US people look at your country and shake their head in disgust for your social welfare systems with over 30 million people livin in poverty and a ridicolous low level on people who can read. I will not get into a debate of what view is the correct but I think that you are way out of line.

    To paint the world in black or white is makin things to easy. Instead, discussion, tolerance and respect for each others views are the mainstand that we build democracy on. Just dismissing different views without arguements will in the end lead to short-sightness and oppression. Oh and Im not communist if you thought I were...
