Not true. From my game
You can get at least to 6(not seen in picture but I do have level 6 dug in Chinese), but I guess even 9 is possible given enough time and engineers heavy unit.

Did you add into your calculations Allied player? If Miri is within vicinity of Allied bombers and your opponent is any decent, it is waste of supplies.

Thats not GG game. Its done by the WitPAE devs.

Via commanders report. Use filters to select what units you want to send on map, select Transfer > MAP
or something like this, dont have access right now so from memory

It seems WitW has also some issues with server. Cant login

AFAIK flying day fighters in night against specialized night figters is not good idea
set all day fighters to fly only during day

also British NFs are superior to most of Axis NF models

1.02.39 patch
Increased the chance of leaders being dismissed due to perceived poor performance.

So basically you are getting leaders dismissed due to the lot of defeats in the early turns. It is not worth to put good commanders in command until late summer or autumn.

There are four types of non motorized units based on their relative mobility and the
use of vehicles by ground elements:
0 – no vehicles
1 – vehicles for supplies only
2 – vehicles for supplies and all non-infantry, non infantry weapon elements
4 – Railroad Anti-aircraft

3 - is fully motorized ...

Checked in editor and its WAD

That may be scripted. With TB OFF, 88th will move to NF TB and this division have been renamed to 23rd Guard in 1942.

As my other game is going to nowhere thread reopened.

If you play your 2nd turn, if you can get your Soviet opponent to contact me to grab the save before he ends his 2nd turn, let me know. If that turn has similar problems that we can repeat, then perhaps we can figure out what's going on.


Joel no problem, I can save before ending my T2 and ping ...

Leaving those trashed units in Sian was actually smart play. Chinese get destroyed units back at 1/3 strength therefore already thrashed units are best to be left behind to sacrifice as rear guard to slowdown Japanese. It may well be that those WR/MT hexes on left and right bank around Tienshui will ...

2) If you really wanted to prevent Axis from doing better than historical on turn 1, then there are some other things which are a lot more important than air that should really be looked at first (especially in the south with the much farther than historical advances that are possible there ...

Besides that Berdjansk is two hexes away from Mariupol, the latter has not refinery either.
Tuapse has no refinery, not as symbol on the map and not in the detail window.
Both, Mariupol and Tuapse have a port, manpower and rail.

Are we talking about the same game?


You are probably talking ...

But ruling out GA for tactical bombers will deprive those crappy biplanes from their original role of night harassing attacks.
