WITW is my favorite Grigsby game. It offers enormous depth, while being much more playable that WITE 2 and WITP:AE.

But it seems to be languishing. It's hard to find PBEM opponents. How many of you are still playing WITW?

Thank you! That's the best explanation I've seen.

I don't see an option for immediate transfer. The destination airbase turns yellow, and when I click on the base, it says "air groups in transfer." So when does the transfer take place? After I execute the Air Phase?

I still don't understand how to rebase aircraft.The AI Assist option is turned off in our PBEM. Does this mean that AOGs won't rebase automatically?

If I have to rebase manually, what are the exact mouse and keyboard command that I need to rebase an AOG -- or an individual squadron -- from one ...

German opponent wanted for 1941 campaign. I'm fairly experienced with WITE2, though not a master. Just finished a full PBEM game of Stalingrad to Berlin, and previously finished the full War in the West campaign PBEM.

Can do one turn a day. No Enhanced TB.

All parameters for transfer seem good. For example, I'm trying to assign IL-4 bombers from the Reserve Box to Daugavpils (Level 3 airbase) in August 1944. The Transfer menu offers me a choice of 20 fighter-bomber groups, 62 tac bomber (IL-2M3) and 1 level bomber (Pe-2). I don't see an option to ...

I'm not using AOGs. I'm transferring individual air unit to airfields. But even if I try to transfer reserve air units through AOGs, I still don't see all my available air units.

When I try to transfer air units from the Soviet Reserve to on-map airbases, I only get to choose from a limited number of air units. For example, I often don't see IL-4 bombers as a choice, and only some fighters are available (even if they have sufficient Experience and Morale). This is a problem ...

With depleted support units, is it more efficient to send them back to Stavka to replenish, or transfer them to the Reserve Box? What about divisions and corps? Is it better to park them next to an on-map depot, or transfer them to the Reserve Box?

DT

I think I saw on another thread that Leader Mech and Infantry ratings don't affect combat (because a long time ago, Gary disconnected them from the combat routines?).

I may be misunderstanding this. But if it's true, this suggests that assigning leaders to HQs based on combat ratings is a mistake ...

I have HQs locked in my StB PBEM campaign. But the last few turns, I find support units in my HQs that I didn't order.

DT

It's January '42, and the Soviets have about 30 rifle divisions in the Reserve box that have been there for several turns and are still at zero strength. I'm wondering if this is because I set all my infantry TOE at 75-100 percent, and the on-map divisions are consuming replacements? I have about ...

What about airlifting supplies to a port, which then exports supplies to another port?

Can supplies be sent directly to depots by air transport? It seems like when I airlift supplies, they are allocated to units in the hex (even AA units attached to an airfield), rather than replenishing the depot.

DT

I have a fighter group on an airfield (not part of an AOG). Can I transfer it to another airfield (like the air transfer command in WITE/WITW)?

DT

Intermediate-level Axis player wanted for '41 (or '42) campaign, I've played a lot of War in the West PBEM, as well as WITE 1 and the early versions of WITE 2.

DT

Does an Allied invasion of Jersey and Guernsey islands count as an invasion for releasing German garrisons? Does it make sense to seize them before D-Day?

DT

One problem with the 1943-45 campaign is the power of Axis naval air. If the Germans aggressively use their bombers, they can devastate Allied naval TFs. Even if the Germans lose all their bombers in the process, the Allies can't win if they do amphibious landings.

My current opponent and I are ...

Open to campaign or scenarios. Played a lot of WITE1 and some WITE2 (though not for a while). Can do 1 turn a day.

Can do one turn a day. EF Box off.

Prefer to do one turn a day, if possible.
