The word "front" has several meanings. The Combat Charter of the Armed Forces of the USSR interprets this concept as "... that side of the formation to which the servicemen are facing." Dictionaries of the Russian language define this concept as the front, front side of something. In broad usage, in relation to military topics, the word "front" is understood as a significant area of contact between the armies of states at war, a zone fighting(a letter from the front, he went to the front, parcels to the front, a front-line newspaper, etc.).

In Russian military science, the word "front" has another meaning, namely, as a term denoting the largest military formation. Operational art textbooks interpret this term as follows:
The front is the highest operational-strategic association of the troops of the active army during the war (military districts are preserved in the rear of the country, as in peacetime). The front includes associations, formations and units of all branches of the armed forces.
It does not have a single organizational structure. As a rule, the front has several combined-arms and tank armies, one or two air armies (and more if necessary), several artillery corps and divisions, brigades, separate regiments, separate battalions of special troops (engineering, communications, chemical, repair ), rear units and institutions. Depending on the tasks assigned to the front, the terrain on which it operates, and the enemy forces opposing it, the number of formations, formations and units included in it can be different. The front can occupy, depending on the situation and the tasks to be solved, a strip from several hundred kilometers to several kilometers wide and from several tens of kilometers to 200 kilometers deep.

The front during the Great Patriotic War, unlike all other associations, had not a number, but a name. Usually the name of the front was given by the region of its operations (Far Eastern, Trans-Baikal, etc.), or by name big city, the area in the area in which he acted (Leningradsky, Voronezhsky, Crimean, Caucasian, etc.). In the initial period of the war, the fronts were named according to their geographical location in the general line of defense (Northern, North-Western, etc.). Occasionally, the front received a name according to its purpose (Reserve, Front of Reserve Armies). In the final period of the war, when the Red Army led fighting on the territories of other states, they stopped changing the names of the fronts, and the fronts ended the war with the names that they had by the time they crossed the state border.

The front was not a military association created once and for all like an army or a corps. The front was created for a certain period to solve some specific problems. The period of its existence could be from one day (Oryol Front - March 27-28, 43) to several years (Leningrad Front 27.8.41-24.7.45). Some fronts were created and liquidated two or three times. For example, the Bryansk Front was created three times.
Some fronts were repeatedly divided into two or three, and even four fronts, and then combined again into one. For example, the Belorussian front was created in October 43, in February 44 it is divided into two (1st Belorussian and 2nd Belorussian), in April 44 it is again united into one, and ten days later it is divided into three fronts. This was not the result of someone's arbitrariness or desire to create more general positions. Such transformations dictated military necessity. Vrochem, there were probably hasty, not always well-thought-out decisions. Obviously, the daily existence of the Oryol front belongs to the category of such solutions.

It is believed that the fronts were created with the beginning of the German attack on the USSR. However, the Far Eastern Front was created on July 1, 1940 (order of the NPO of the USSR dated June 21, 1940), i.e. even before the start of the war. This moment is somehow completely forgotten by military historians and is not explained in any way in our military history. In any case, the author did not find anything about this. Was the danger of a Japanese attack on our Far Eastern borders in 1940 regarded as more real than a German attack in the west?

With the German attack on June 22, 1941, on the very first day of the war, the military districts in the western part of the country were transformed into fronts. The Baltic Special District to the North-Western Front, the Western Special (former Belorussian) to the Western Front, the Kiev Special to the South-Western. On June 24-25, the Northern Front is additionally created from the Leningrad District and the Southern Front is created. The names of the fronts were given according to their geographic location in the general line of battles, if you look at the map, having a point of view from Moscow.

However, it quickly becomes clear that such a division of troops is too large. Front commanders, firstly, cannot cover such vast areas with their attention, and secondly, the situation is too different in different sectors of the front and too diverse tactics are required in one place or another.
Already in July-August, the number of fronts begins to increase and names are given to them according to the names of the localities and cities near which they operate (Bryansk, Leningrad, Transcaucasia, Karelian, Central, etc., later Kalinin, Volkhov, Caucasian, etc. ).
There is also a new principle of naming the front - according to its purpose. True, there was no diversity here - the Moscow Reserve, Reserve and Front of Reserve Armies.
Evidence of the desperate situation of the summer-autumn of 41 years are the names that arose during this period. In a number of cases, the very word "front" disappears in the name - the Mozhaisk line of defense, the Moscow defense zone.
Throughout 42 and part of 43, the fundamental principle of naming fronts is the principle of naming them according to cities, sometimes localities (Stalingrad, Stepnoy, Don, Kursk, Crimean, etc.).
Since the summer of 1943, a new system of giving names to fronts - in the direction of attack - Belorussian, Ukrainian, has been a reflection of the ever-increasing confidence in victory.
The clear superiority of the Red Army from that time over the Wehrmacht was reflected in the fact that the fronts generally cease to be renamed and even when one front is divided into two or three, their former name is retained with the addition of only a serial number (1st Belorussian, 2nd Belorussian and etc.). This, as it were, emphasizes that the separation is temporary.
The stabilization of the situation and the obvious seizure of the combat initiative were also reflected in the names of the fronts. They do not change their names even after the transfer of hostilities to the territory of other countries.

The author does not think that this was done deliberately and consciously, but symbolically, in the names of the fronts, it was as if indicated where the punishment of Germany and the liberation of other peoples came from.
The fronts ended the war with Germany:
1st Belorussian,
2nd Belorussian,
3rd Belorussian,
Transcaucasian,
Leningradsky,
1st Baltic,
2nd Baltic,
Primorsky Group of Forces,
1st Ukrainian,
2nd Ukrainian,
3rd Ukrainian,
4th Ukrainian.

Until June-August 1945, the division of troops into fronts was still preserved and their names were preserved. Then the transfer of the army to a peaceful position began and the structure of the army began to change. On Far East this process began somewhat later in October 1945.

Once the expansion launches, items crafted with professions are likely to be expensive, but over time you will be able to buy them on the auction house without going broke. Characters accepting contributions may ask you for various items, so you can buy at the auction for future use. Here is a list of items and materials that may be required to support the battlefront.

At the moment, it is not known how many weekly contributions can be made and how long each of the factions will control the front. Based on data received on September 4, 2018, it can be assumed that the Hordes will gain access to the front in three days, after which the Alliance will begin to collect resources for a new offensive.

We plan to collect information about the materials that are required to be handed over every day, in order to then determine patterns and calculate the moments for their profitable purchase and sale. On September 4, 2018, the situation on the American servers of the Horde could pass:

100 gold

If you play on European servers and have similar information, we will be happy to read your comments. If you are an Alliance player, please collect data for us as soon as you have the opportunity to contribute to the development of the front. This will help us create reliable bills of materials and anticipate material needs in the future.

4. Strategy for battle fronts

It is impossible to lose the battle at the front, but this does not mean at all that you should let things take their course. If your faction wins the fight faster, you will gain access to world bosses earlier.

During the battle, you can participate in hostilities or collect resources. If you're not well-dressed, you'll be smarter about resources. If you like to collect resources, the choice is also obvious, because most will definitely want to fight. If you belong to this very majority, join the detachment and go to capture positions.

4.1. First stage

At the moment, there is only one battlefront in the game, on the Arathi Highlands. The player who first entered the battle front finds himself in enemy territory and must defeat the mini-boss. After the death of the boss, you must capture the nearest mine and mill. At the mine and the mill, you need to collect Iron and Wood, which are necessary for construction. If there are too many people in the mine, go to the mill or vice versa. If you have a connection with other players from the group, suggest that they split up and go to the mine and mill in equal groups.

4.2. Second phase

At the front, you can build buildings that accelerate the victory of your faction. The faster you collect resources, the faster you can build buildings.

town hall→ Fortress→ Lock- The Town Hall and its improved analogues speed up the collection of Iron and Wood, at the second level they give access to the barracks and the commander, and at the third level they increase the damage from siege weapons and give access to the special ability of the commander.
Altar of Storms→ This building gives the player a powerful buff in exchange for resources - Raging Force increases maximum health, outgoing damage and healing by 10%, stacks up to 4 times; also grants the Call Storm effect when an Essence of the Storm is found (a rare item that can be dropped from defeated enemies).
Barracks - this building allows you to hire units that will defend your base and attack opponents. The resource required for hiring is iron.
Mill - this building allows you to exchange resources for weapons and armor for units.
Workshop - this building allows you to design combat vehicles that provide a quick victory.

Assembly team priorities

Collect 140 Food iron and 140 units. wood and build barracks.
Collect 260 Food iron and 140 units. wood and build a mill.
Collect 260 Food iron and 140 units. wood and build a storm altar.
Collect 380 Food iron and 180 units. wood and upgrade the town hall to a fortress.
Collect 500 Food iron and 220 units. wood and build a workshop with siege engines.
Collect 620 Food iron and 260 units. wood and upgrade the fortress to a castle.

All gatherers should remember that iron usually requires more than wood, so it needs to be collected more actively. The construction of barracks and the mill significantly increases the combat power of the units, and the construction of the altar of the storm - the combat power of the players themselves. Upgrading the town hall to a fortress speeds up the process of gathering resources and the production of siege engines in the workshop, that is, it increases the destructive potential of the entire team. Further improvement of the fortress additionally speeds up the process of gathering resources, allows you to hire additional units and build siege engines.

In the process of collecting resources, the gathering team must respond to waves of opponents and protect the mine and mill from them. Build and upgrade buildings until three cars appear in the workshop. After that, focus on the production of machines and the protection of the base.

While one team is collecting resources, the other team must capture strategic points on the map.

Attacking team priorities

Capture Newshire to be able to recruit stronger units.
Capture the Nest so that your siege engines can pass unhindered through the center of the map.

After that, help the assemblers to speed up the process of building machines, break through the enemy gates as soon as possible and gain access to the enemy commander.

4.3. Third stage

At this stage, it is necessary to finish off the surviving opponents and take back what is rightfully yours. Escort the siege engines to the gate, destroy the gate and kill the enemy commander. At the third stage, the collectors and the attackers must work together. After destroying the gate, enter the courtyard in an organized manner, kill the boss and celebrate the victory.

5. World bosses on the Battlefront

The faction that controls the battlefront has access to world bosses: Doom's Howl for the Alliance and Lion's Roar for the Horde. Bosses drop ilvl 370 gear equivalent to heroic loot, as well as special toys. The Alliance toy is called the Toy Siege Turret, and the Horde toy is the Toy War Machine.

6. Rewards and loot from Battle Fronts

The faction that controls the front also has access to treasures and rare monsters.

The front is the highest operational-strategic association of the troops of the active army during the war (military districts are preserved in the rear of the country, as in peacetime). The front includes associations, formations and units of all branches of the armed forces. It does not have a single organizational structure. As a rule, the front has several combined-arms and tank armies, one or two air armies (and more if necessary), several artillery corps and divisions, brigades, separate regiments, separate battalions of special troops (engineering, communications, chemical, repair ), rear units and institutions. Depending on the tasks assigned to the front, the terrain on which it operates, and the enemy forces opposing it, the number of formations, formations and units included in it can be different. The front can occupy, depending on the situation and the tasks to be solved, a strip from several hundred kilometers to several kilometers wide and from several tens of kilometers to 200 kilometers deep.

The front during the Great Patriotic War, unlike all other associations, had not a number, but a name. Usually the name of the front was given by the region of its operations (Far East, Ukrainian, etc.) or by the name of the large city in the area of which it operated (Leningrad, Voronezh, etc.). In the initial period of the war, the fronts were named according to their geographical location in the general line of defense (Northern, North-Western, etc.). Occasionally, the front received a name according to its purpose (Reserve, Front of Reserve Armies). In the final period of the war, when the Red Army was conducting military operations on the territories of other states, the names of the fronts were no longer changed, and the fronts ended the war with the names that they had by the time they crossed the state border.

The enemy of the Red Army - the German Wehrmacht, an association similar to our front was called "army group" (army group Center, army group South, army group C, etc.).

From the author. It seems that this is not entirely true. Rather, our front should be equated with the German army. For example, the German 6th Army consisted of about 22 divisions, while in our army there were usually no more than five divisions. The front, on the other hand, usually consisted of about four or five armies, i.e. about 20 divisions. And the German army group is no longer a front, but a whole strategic direction.
This is where some trickery happens. Especially from Russian liberal-democratic historians. Like, the Germans surrounded and destroyed several at a time Soviet armies, but they say best success The Red Army is just the encirclement and defeat of just one German army. But in fact, in Stalingrad, a whole German front was surrounded, counting according to ours. And in the summer of 1944 in Belarus, an entire strategic direction (Army Group Center) was completely defeated and destroyed.

At the head of the front was a serviceman called "Front Commander" (Commander of the Bryansk Front, Commander of the Western Front, etc.). These were the highest military leaders in the rank from lieutenant general to army general inclusive, sometimes (more often at the final stage of the war) and in the rank of marshal of the Soviet Union. However, the last rank was not a full-time rank of front commander, but an honorary title given for outstanding services.

To ensure control over the fulfillment of the tasks assigned to the troops by the front commander, to develop plans for combat operations, and organize command and control of troops, he had a front headquarters. Armies, corps, divisions, regiments and other units were transferred to the command of the front commander and withdrawn from his command by the orders of the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, depending on the situation and the complexity of combat missions. The Front was not a once and for all formed organization. During the course of the war, fronts were formed and liquidated quite often. Sometimes, with a narrow zone of operations or a small number of troops that make up the front, an organization similar to the front received the name "group of troops" or "defense zone", or "defense line" (Zemlandskaya group of troops, Moscow defense zone, Primorsky group of troops, etc. .P.).
