BTW: Top tip for the Soviet player in 1944'ish, when playing against the AI. Disband the airforce - especially if you're using AI assist. That will dramatically improve your supply situation and speed up the final push into Germany.

The early tank corps are weak and brittle. Bolster them with a motorised brigade or two. It's also a good idea to let the tank corps operate alongside a cavalry corps or two, they are a great early subsitute for the mech corps.

<t> In my modified 1941 Soviet GC (I got a sudden victory in 1943 and had to do the sav->scn trick), it’s June 1944. The lumbering beast, that is my Soviet field army, has grown to 8.7 mio. men with a further million in reserve. Total Soviet forces are 11+ mio.<br/>
<br/>
Obviously, it makes it ...

<t> Well, first of it’s not a sand box game. It’s pretty much history on rails; a reenactment of the real thing. The victory point system is tied directly to historical performance; overperform, and you will “win”; underperform, and you will “lose”. Underperforming also means taking a different ...

Just a question, since I haven't tried: Is it possible to set the German AI lower than 100, so you don't have to yank up the Soviet one in order to increase difficulty?

<r> Are you playing against the AI?<br/>
<br/>
A possible strategy is to put the survival of your 1941 army first. Put up a layered defence at key terrain and river lines, avoid to fight in clear terrain whenever possible. Keep all mobile units as reserves to support the front, and let them rest ...

<t> Thanks for all the help!<br/>
<br/>
It doesn't quite work, though. When I modify my save game, all cities that had a historical city ownership change turn up with 100 % railyard and manpower damage. I could of course just edit all those hundreds of locations, but ... really, I just wanted to ...

<t> So I sunk countless hours into playing the Soviets in the 1941 GC. I was doing rather well, and looking forward to the summer campaign of 1944, where I hoped to roll into Berlin.<br/>
<br/>
Then boom! I achieved a decisive victory and it's game over. Bummer.<br/>
<br/>
I thought sudden ...

WiTE2 is a great game, no doubt about it, but it's also still history on rails. I hope future improvements will include events that are more tied to the strategic situation in the game, rather than what how it was historically. This is not meant to disparage the current state of ...

Soviet artillery division need to placed 1 hex away from the frontline, right? Do they only support units in their own formation or any combat unit within their range?

<t> I changed my mind, now that my game has moved on to July 1943. Those tank battalions should be disbanded ASAP; you can more than make up for the missing tank strength in heavy and medium tank regiments.<br/>
<br/>
Now I generally disband every battalion sized unit. They are too small to make a ...

In 10 years? Well, if everything is going according to the plans of my Vogon overlords, I will be able to pay you 2 human slaves. PM if interested.

Well, after little Jim got the coughing disease and got fired by Mr. Gamfield the chimney sweeper, a cheque would sure bring joy, but to be honest, I’ll be damned if I know. I just tried it, and it worked.
