<r> A while back there was a big debate on whether the Axis was overly constrained by supplies, especially fuel, in this game during Barbarossa. I ran across this video that makes a compelling case that the Axis was indeed severely constrained by inadequate logistics. <LINK link="https://www.youtube...

<t> This information could easily be provided in a "tool tip" where you hover the mouse over something and a little popup explains what it is. Obviously this technique is already used in the game, but I don't understand why it isn't more widely used. This is generally pretty easy to program (though ...

Another unexpected event: I had a guards mech corps surrender when it was not out of supply (at end of Soviet turn). The picture shows unit information at the beginning of the Soviet turn (from reload). It was attaced only once, and surrendered (next post).

<t> I observed a level 5.1 fort containing a German infantry division being destroyed in a single attack. Maybe it's reasonable because of the overwhelming odds and artillery (3 divisions), but I didn't expect it. Is this intended? In this case the fort was surrounded, but I also observed a 4.1 leve...

<r> I observed a retreat where the 8=7 German infantry division retreated one hex NW to an out-of-supply hex instead of SW towards supply. Of course the SW path would require retreating 2 hexes. I see from the Appendix A that "retreat range" and "retreat MP cost" get the highest weight in the retrea...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Fort at level 4 or better will not prevent defender's retreat if there will be no town, city or urban terrain in hex.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> Maybe. Currently the level 4 forts have two huge advantages over level 3--no retreat, and very slow degradation. The no retreat rule i...

<t> I think xhoel is correct that level 4 forts can have a major impact from 1943 on if the Axis plans ahead. I've been experimenting against the AI (hard setting) and was able to build many level 4 forts by 1943, and close to 100 by mid 1944. A level 4 fort is far more valuable than a level 3 fort ...

<r> I just observed a seemingly wrong retreat direction on turn 1. In the picture the 28-6 mtn division has just attacked directly east, and the Soviet unit retreated SW to it it now directly SE of the attacker. Seems strange, but could this be the result of randomization? Edit: just started a new g...

M60A3TTS--Since you don't advocate building so many tank corps, would you just disband excess tank brigades at some point (presumably after ZOC blockers no longer needed)?

<r> I saw a couple of "wrong way" retreats. The pic shows one. The German 8=6 unit retreated Northeast, when clearly it should have retreated West or Southwest (and when attacked again in the same turn surrendered instead or routing).<br/> <br/> <IMG src="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/upfiles/3...

<t> The Wikipedia article is a bit contradictory. This passage from the article clearly states that the U2VS was a night bomber: "...the U-2VS (voyskovaya seriya - Military series) was created. This was a light night bomber, fitted with bomb carriers beneath the lower wing, to carry 50 or 100 kg (11...

<t> Morvael, as a programmer myself I understand how difficult it can be to track down such occasional bugs. <br/> <br/> Telemecus, not just a presentation error because starting on turn 27 production ceased and I see the factories have disappeared, so I assume the factories won't upgrade, and it lo...
