RE: Nato Symbols are a total NO-GO for WWII games

I played HOI with sprites, and couldn't stand the counters. But I can't imagine playing WITE with sprites. Weird.

RE: German players quitting: a problem?

<t> The problem is that it's impossible to be balanced and historical. Germany has a small window before Soviet manpower and production become overwhelming. Historically Germany played 1941-2 fairly well, while the Soviets played poorly. The mistakes the Soviets made can be changed in an operational ...

RE: Partisan management and fortified zones

<r> In most cases it's fine at 90+%. There is a formula in the manual for partisan creation. Which (from memory) is (rounded down) (1-garrison%) * population. <br/>
<br/>
So at 95% you'd have to get 1 to create partisans so the city size would have to be 20. (1-0.95) * 20 = 1.<br/>

I often wait to buy a game but bought this one early and haven't been dissappointed. There is enough content and learning curve to keep you busy for a long time before worrying about patches.

Thanks for the response. I do actually like lots of detail, but would appreciate some degree of automation. I guess what I am trying to avoid is the planning and executing of one turn taking five hours to complete.

Support unit question

I noticed my Panzer group HQ's have a lot of support units, but since I generally move my HQ's last and the mobile units are fighting further away, should I move ...
