I did install the Visual C++ and there are several instances of it when I look in add/remove programs.

<t> tried to play and got the below error message:<br/>

I have noticed the AI will drop fuel automatically if the panzer unit is just advanced normally and you want to supply it with fuel. Once they get cut off then it switches to supplies unless I change it manually.

Great game! it was definitely on of the games that I cut my teeth on learing to play board games and WiTE is the first computer game that bettered that experience.

Put a turns until withdrawing in the commaders report. That way when you filter for withdrawing units it not only shows you that unit but it tells you what turn in is withdrawing on up to 10 turns out from current.

I really enjoy micro-management of my armies to get the most ideal ...

would be great if SUs were in a central button function and you assigned to a unit what was availble for the area they were in or could move them with the one turn wait rule if you needed them else where. a lot less clicks.

I think distance from the front should be more of a governor for unit recognition. I know it is lvl 4 for max ID right now but I think it should be even less with distance flown. maybe just a generic colored square is all.

I would just add that seeing numbers in the pool also doesn't assume they are operating units for front line duty. I am sure everyone remembers the story of the first panthers and tigers that went to the front immediately broke down and didn't perform well if at all for many months.

I find just letting the AI run the air war makes all of the inconsistencies balance out.

I have been reading interviews done by John Erickson in the 70s with Soviet commanders and staff from WWII. One thing that leaps out in several of the interviews is the amount of work, transport, and trouble that the Soviets had in moving ...

The problem with such extremes is that we have statements that boil down to "The Axis always get a stalemate in 1942, unless the Soviets have screwed up massively, then they don't get a stalemate."<br/>

Axis play has a role in ...

I think to some extent the fuel does this especially with the panzer units by limiting their mobility. Some refiniment of this as it relates to the other two supply items and looking at ...

I know what you are saying but in my opinion the loss of Moscow would have been such a body blow to the Soviets, that they may not have recovered from it, bringing the nightmare of Nazi victory in the East one step closer. Imagine the loss ...

I'm not a big fan of introducing "attack supply points", whether tied to APs or not, into the game. This would just be another level of abstraction or even gimmick.<br/>

The game already models key logistics factors that are relevant ...

<t> Talking about mind set I would add that people expecting the soviets to quit because of the lose of a city or two even if it is moscow need to review the revolution and how lenin and stalin etc fought against what seemed to be impossible odds to win control of the country. They would not have ...

I agree about the per unit basis and I think in places the soviets and the germans built multiple defensive lines but not from leningrad to rostov. They had to pick their spots plus I should say I mean lvl 3 and 4 forts not lvl 1 or 2.
