Russia - A New Infantry Division and a New Destroyer - 10 Oct to 17 Oct 1939

10 Oct 1939: This a mediocre Division because it has minimal Support. I have plenty of Artillery, Anti-Tank Guns and Support Equipment stockpiled....
....so I create an Assault Division by replacing 2 Rifle Battalions with an Artillery Battalion and an Anti-Tank Battalion. I also add an Engineer Support Company. It has less Manpower but more Firepower.
I then change its Symbol to crossed Rifles and we have our new Assault Division. I'll still be using Rifle Division's numbering system though.
I don't want to use captured foreign equipment nor do I want Basic Infantry Equipment in the Division.
Army North, former Army Germany, has 11 Rifle Divisions available and I convert them all to Assault Divisions.
12 Oct 1939: Three Assault Divisions need further training so I transfer them to Army Training West.
The trained 8th Latvian Infantry Division is assigned to Army Prussia.
14 Oct 1939: I assign the trained 2nd Tank Division and 55th Assault Division to Army North.
The 31st Cavalry Division is assigned to NKVD Forces.
15 Oct 1939: My Research projects with nothing due to arrive in the near future.
16 Oct 1939: My Construction queue.
My non-Armour Army production. The yellow arrows indicate upgrades not shortages.
The Armour and Aircraft production showing the new deficit of Tank Destroyers.
My Naval production. Production of the Kirov-Class Heavy Cruiser will end next month.
I create a 1940 Destroyer using the best Light Guns and Anti-Aircraft Guns available. I'm missing Sonar capability.
I add it to the Naval production queue and reduce the 1936 Destroyer production to one more unit.
17 Oct 1939: I add 2 more Rifle Divisions to the Recruitment programme.
The first steps towards a more modern Army and Navy have been planned.
