So you as Axis

regular CV
Mild blizzard/ +1

<t> Some of these changes are fantastic. I especially like being able to:<br/>
<br/>
Reduce production in factories to save ARM and supply - why wasn't this done years ago?<br/>
Build air groups and bases<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
It would be nice for the Germans to be able to get additional army HQs ...

I am seeing a similar situation on the German side. Units during the winter were at ~30% of needs even with the rail heads very close.

Nice job!

It will be interesting to see how the HQBU change works out.

Denniss,

I agree that it needs a wider audience and testing but disagree about this rework preventing misuse. How do you see it preventing misuse?
What I am suggesting is it will likely encourage more buildups because the conditions to do them are less restrictive than 1.07.

<t> I am glad to know the rule about leaders automatically passing the test after buildup.<br/>
<br/>
It is good units can't be attached after the buildup and get it for free.<br/>
<br/>
It will be interesting seeing how the attachment restriction gets worked out. I vote for no buildups for ...

What do other people think about the 25 hex and moving HQ rules?

<t> I am not being critical of the changes you made, just trying to envision from experience how players will use the new rules. We will see how the games play out in the forums but I know getting ~50MP two or three turns in a row for the same units in the summer of 1941 can be devastating. We may ...

<t> It seems to me the HQ buildup rules under 1.08 will result in much stronger german 41 offensives because:<br/>
<br/>
The 25 hex rule vs. 20MP. This is especially significant in the center for turns 3-6 because of all the rivers and in the north for turns 6-12 because of the forests. This will ...

<t> Thank you to everyone who put 1.08 together.<br/>
<br/>
I am playing a game with improved CV display set and have a couple questions/comments<br/>
<br/>
It is great to see how changing leaders affects the CV.<br/>
<br/>
I can see once the game gets to 1943 there are going to be a lot of ...

<t> Indeed. This is reflected in my first post on this. The modifiers cap out at 100%<br/>
<br/>
The second post was to try and give a feel for the combined effect of terrain and forts because they both effect the blizzard modifier too, unlike before where some terrain only helped with preventing ...

Including terrain and forts you can.

If you have a division with a blizzard-only cv modifier of 50% but in a level 2 fort you would have an effective modifier of 0.5*3 = 150% of the base.

<t> Here are some tables of cv modifiers incorporating blizzard, terrain and fort effects<br/>
<br/>
The forts and terrain add both to blizzard and overall CV multipliers.<br/>
<br/>
So level 2 forts in clear terrain in the Northern weather area would produce a 180% CV modifier. A CV 8 division ...

<t> Here are some tables of blizzard-modified CV<br/>
<br/>
Assumptions:<br/>
Always defending<br/>
Defending in hex (not reserve)<br/>
Always blizzard (no snow)<br/>
<br/>
So the columns indicate increasing fort level<br/>
<br/>
The blizzard cv modifier gets to 100% quickly. This is in ...

<t> I second what Pelton and MT have written. Under the current morale rules the 1941 soviet army is going to be much stronger, especially by blizzard time. Changing NM to 45 would go a long way to help. It doesn't seem the consequences of this seemingly small change have been tested (although the ...

<t> The morale recovery code change will shift the game far more to the soviet's advantage.<br/>
<br/>
Having those 30-40 morale starting units get to 50 in ~3 turns instead of 8-12 will dramatically stiffen soviet defenses in turns 10+.<br/>
<br/>
Plus, the vast majority of reinforcements ...

Sorry but Ground Support has been on the whole time.

Cannonfodder you think both Joel and I missed this?

I was using the latest official version (1.06.19)

I tried with 1.06.27 beta and the problem seems to be solved

Yes

Command structure is pretty good and should work correctly

Joel:

I emailed a couple saved games to 2by3 yesterday. Would you please confirm receipt?

Thanks

It is 1943 in my game
