Eastern Front Series Flotillas

The Danube Flotilla was a naval force of the Soviet Navy's Black Sea Fleet during World War II

 A Dnieper Flotilla was constituted in June 1931, but disbanded in June 1940.

Many vessels served with the Dnieper Flotilla. One common type was the BK armored gunboats. This type served in large numbers with the Dnieper Flotilla as well as other Soviet river flotillas. At the time of the German invasion 85 of these were in commission, 68 were under construction, and a further 110 were ordered on August 18, 1941, all of which were completed during the war, and about 90 of which were lost

Flotillas move on major rivers at a cost of one MP per hex entered. In the above example, the flotilla could move into hex A or E in this fashion. Flotillas can also move “cross bank” at a cost of one MP. The flotilla above could switch sides of the major river, moving into hexes B, C, or D at a cost of one MP. Flotillas can also move across hexsides connecting major rivers to canals.
