So, if I was able to go back in time and redo my move, what should I have done to ensure my units retreated to Moscow? I haven't got a clue - can anyone help me?

Thanks WH, that all makes sense now.

<r> Ah ha! Now I know that supplies are important I did another experimental attack and this time packed Moscow with supplies - it worked! My retreating Kursk units went to Moscow! Well, it's better than dismantling the Gorki factory.<br/>

What I liked about randomization is that if the algorithm isn't quite right, it wouldn't be so glaring since it wouldn't be all or nothing. If 5 units retreated to Gorki and 3 to Moscow it mightn't be so bad.<br/>

The priorities ...

Just changing the weighting to 1/3 from 1/2 changes the start of game values to Moscow: 34, Gorki: 35

<t> I've gone back and done some test attacks.&nbsp; In the example I gave earlier about Germany attacking Kursk, SU will, as long as there is an undamaged factory in Gorki, always ALWAYS retreat to Gorki.&nbsp; Mix around as many troops as you want in Moscow, Gorki and Stalingrad; play around with ...

1) they seem to be much more powerful than infantry at the same level. In my experience, massed artillery will tend to beat massed infantry which cost the same.

2. Forget this idea that heavy bombers don't add to the combined arms bonus. What's the point? It makes them less valuable and again artillery more valuable. I mean think about it. Heavy bombers are expensive and they are fun to have. Yes ...

My goal was to try to make retreats fairly intuitive. I tweaked things to make them retreat more towards regions with higher production and population. In your case, I would have expected them to retreat to Moscow (assuming that Moscow ...

Damaged rail does affect the retreat outcome. Units will first attempt to retreat via an undamaged (all the way from start to finish) rail line if possible.

Kursk was completely damaged and Moscow, Gorki and ...

Thanks Lucky1 - you're Mr Dependable on this forum.&nbsp; No, rail was undamaged in Stalingrad, Moscow and Gorki.&nbsp; Fully damaged in Kursk.&nbsp; Didn't know about your posting on a retreat bug but I'll look it up.

<t> I've just said I enjoyed my first ever PBEM but I couldn't believe what happened in Skagerrak. 5 German fighters took on 3 WA fighters of equal ability plus 1 LF and 2 HF. Result - 2 destoyed and 1 damaged WA fighter against 3 damaged German fighters (probably fair result) plus one of his two ...

<t> I'm on 1.02 playing my first ever PBEM. My opponent (Germany) beat me (SU) in a large battle in Kursk and I thought my remaining undamaged units (5 Inf, 6 Arty) would retreat to the obvious place - Moscow. Unfortunately, they retreated to Gorki and two remaining unused German armour advanced ...

I don't think my knowledge of the rules is really good enough to answer you but in the absence of anyone else at the 'mo I'll try my best.<br/>

Supply must come from the unit's region or an adjacent region. Malta is not adjacent to the Tyrrhenian Sea.<br/>

One subtlety: the unit can really look in 4 classes of regions (i) it's region, (ii) an adjacent region, (iii) its ...

<t> In my PBEM game (first time and great fun by the way) I had a LF and transport in Tyrrhenian Sea with no supply. However, I wasn't worried because in the next region, Central Med, I had loads of ships and in Malta a tonne of supplies and I checked I could supply my LF from Malta. However, in the ...

<r> I've returned to WAW after an absence and I'm determined to play a human PBEM this time - I've only ever played the AI up to now. I'm looking for 1x1 v1.02 Advanced Supply FOW AV no auto or area supply 1939 scenario - not GG, at least not yet. I'm happy to play either side.<br/>

I was surprised to record in my current game that my security points sometimes reduces by a point a turn. Sometimes it happened once a year, sometimes 3 turns in a row. I can't see anything in the rules that says your security points can be reduced. Am I missing something?
