Think about the German experience in 1918, when the Russian Army collapsed and the Germans were able to use the railways to advance on Petrograd & Moscow and frighten the Bolsheviks into the Treaty of Brest Litovsk.

You can also pinch Luftwaffe specialised anti-shipping units from Western Europe. I've used those to cut off Odessa prior to 11th Army storming the city.

The ability to now phase 32 air directives should solve this problem - yay! [:D]

It's not a new bug - it's one that known. Joe Billings says that it's hopefully going to be fixed in the next update! [:)]

<t> It would be really (really!) useful to be able sequence your air missions, especially for ground attack directives. Something like placing numbered markers in hexes, so mission-1 goes here, mission 2 goes there etc. I find a problem with turn 1 and striking the airfields is that, unless VERY ...

I think this this a known bug and hopefully will be fixed in the 0.14 update. I've just had JG 54 "defect" from Pskov to Novgorod...

Don't forget Christopher Lawrence's work The Battle of Prokhorovka.

<t> Turn 1, I find the best way to avoid losses is to set ADs in strict order to wipe out the major fighter bases in close range. If you don't get them, the later strikes (on D1) will fly back *past* the still live fighter bases and get massacred. Don't try deep penetration raids (except for ...

These take a long time to resolve? Much longer than the rest of the AI turn?

In my experience, the Ju-877 delivers more damage but I can't say why. My guess is that dive-bombers get an accuracy bonus?

I've found that if I adjust the ADs for the first turn and fix the Bf 109 loadouts to use drop tanks, *generally* the bombers are always escorted but there are occasions when the AI forgets to assign an escort flight... (sigh)

<t> Sort of a long range question, but will it be possible to mod this game once released? And if so, will it be possible to know how game factors for units etc were calculated?<br/>
This is just speaking as an inveterate fiddler/modder of many years!<br/>

Am so looking forward to seeing ...

<t> This isn't really a bug-type question, but one of historical accuracy. While I am quite taken with the game engine and enjoy its flexibility, the German Order of Battle needs some few revisions.<br/>
1. 1st SS Pz Rgt did not possess a Tiger company - PzV/PzIV mix.<br/>
2. 654 PzJ Abt should ...
