<t> I'm playing as the Axis against AI @ 120 in everything except fort building. It's a slow go, but I'm making some big pockets once in a while. It's mid-August and I'm at 350K for casualties already - much heavier than I'm used to seeing. Leningrad is threatened, Smolensk/Kiev/Odessa are all mine ...

Panzers are fine, air losses on T1 are markedly lower.

As the Russians or Germans?

Production can't be controlled. Where production goes can be - that's where the TOE limits come into play. The Soviets are able to create their own units though.&nbsp;

Should be in the production screen. I believe 8% of captured Russians become Hiwis - so they do add to the manpower available to zee Germans.&nbsp;

Any benefit to a tank army over combined arms?

Doomstick.&nbsp;

I'm currently in the same boat, Leningrad wise, and I get the feeling that the AI wants the city cut-off before it attacks.&nbsp;

I vote yes. I may never use it, but I see no harm in adddng it.

Your percent required to fly might be to high. Try lowering it to 20 - see if that makes a difference.

<t> Casualty figures are especially difficult in terms of arriving at a definitive figure. Both the Russians and Germans had different reporting methods (for both men and materiel), and both were plagued by complete organizational chaos at different periods of the war (making accurate reporting ...

They combined for me, into a regular inf division.&nbsp;

Cheers - didn't know it was moved to May.

Correct, the answer is no, they could reach it even earlier in such a case..

What makes you think that? Would more strict force conservation in 42 and 43 allow the Germans ...

Even before WITE I considered a strategic defensive doctrine with mobile reserves to be the best Axis choice on the eastern front if the knock out blow could not be delivered in 1941. <br/>

Oddly enough, this ...

Anyone else getting periodic freezes with the latest beta?

The AA units do add combat value to any unit they're attached to.

Organisation Todt. They were the Reich's civil engineers. The regular Construction Battalions would be the organic units of the Heer/SS. OT would be complementary to those units - bonus workers!

Perhaps the solution is to reduce MP through hexes that are not in a valid ZOC by 50%?

I wouldn't call it bull, as the current system may represent the cost of having to advance over terrain not previously occupied by the advancing force.
