I added some military police to get non-zero traffic control, and it turns out that "Anti-Fortification", "Bombardment Defense" and "Nuclear Bombardment" all actually give you the traffic Control value [X(]

Looking forward to this, Herr Oberst!

There seems to be a few mix-ups in the selectable unit numbers options, see this thread:<br/>

<t> OK, I did some fiddling around with the additional unit numbers options, and there seems to be some mix-ups:<br/>
What is called "Anti-Air All" actually gives you "Attack" (the total attack strength).<br/>
The "Defending Terrain Check" actually gives you "Anti-Armor".<br/>
Probably a ...

Looking forward to the next tutorial!

Herr Oberst,

I thought uberdude was for getting event trigger print-outs when playtesting. Worth turning on to see how toawlog.txt behaves. However, I'm pretty sure this is just a programmer's slip of printing the wrong variable.

Cheers,
Martin

<r> Probably of no relevance to most TOAW players, but there is an output bug in toawlog.txt that would be nice to have fixed in a future patch:<br/>
<br/>
When printing combat details, the attrition of the defending side is mixed up with a strength value, and thus makes no sense. To explain what ...

Ahh nice, I forgot about the MRPB! So the lesson is that generally the AD and MRPB both need to be tweaked.

Herr Oberst,

Yes the guidelines make perfect sense, but I had not realized that the attrition divider could affect the length of individual combats at least in some situations [:)]

<t> To check that the attrition divider behaves as expected in individual combats, I did a small sandbox test with two infantry units. Doubling the attrition divider from 10 to 20 does indeed halve the number of individual targets (rifle squads etc) that come under fire, thus halving the the ...

The values on the counter does not take into account terrain or deployment. However, they do seem to take into account supply, readiness and the actual number of equipment in the unit compared to the authorized (maximum) number of equipment of the ...

Spot on! This is exactly what I needed. If I understand correctly, the relation between the summed AP strengths of all of the unit's equipments modified by terrain, morale, shock etc and the summed defense strengths of the opposing unit will ...

<t> As Klaus mentioned, the inner workings can be figured out from the toawlog file. A couple of years ago I did some serious digging around with TOAW III (hundreds of hours of dissecting toawlog files, I kid you not!). I Think I posted a PDF with my findings at GameSquad, but a simplified ...

Ian,
I totally missed that the scenario is part of the game dist. Thanks for sorting that out!

A point I've noticed about railroad repair:<br/>

The two RR repair pioneer units have a very high probability of repairing the rail. Frequently when I check at the beginning of the next turn the rail hex in front of the pioneer unit has ...

<t> A related question appeared in an AAR thread: What does L mean as regards artillery support? I did a few tests, and noted the following behaviour:<br/>

When attacking, artillery units in L status support during bombardment (if in range) as expected.<br/>

When defending, artillery ...

Well, that was about it - you have seen the final position i Jan's post above. If the game had lasted a couple of turns more, Berlin would have fallen to the Western Allies. In conclusion, it was a really great gaming experience going all the way with this excellent scenario.
