Soviet Baltic Front HQ Composition

[Adm.Lee]

The airfield might have its own guns dismounted from aircraft as AA mounts, too.

If it's a Front, then it has an Air Army. If it has an Air Army, then it should have planes. They might even be in working condition, but out of jet fuel. Or nearly so-- just enough for a one-way trip?

Really good point. If the Ploesti oilfields were able to supply several Soviet armies for the year 2000 campaigns they must have provided some aviation fuels as well. It's been a long time since I last thought about that. On top of the rest of the difficulties that NATO forces were facing in Poland during the summer offensive there's every chance they would've faced Soviet CAS and other air assets too. What a nightmare.

Hm. You and the Admiral point out a major kink in my scenario setting. I suppose my C-2 shop didn't know about the amount of real fuel flowing into Poland. What do you suppose a Soviet Air Army looks like, c. 2000?
