Let us say we'd like to achieve the most realistic historical simulation (as above, with reasonable abstractions such that it remains playable). I think we'd all like the game to be able to ...

So the way I see it, reduced down to the crux of it, Pelton is the greatest champion of making the game better, and FlaviusX is the greatest proponent of destroying the game. I think they're both ...

The game is quite different from before going from 1941 to 1942 now, as the Germans get Hiwi's, Soviet national morale is reduced and forts are less impressive, and it will be a while before the long term effects of recent changes are felt ...

Pelton does know that Germany lost the war, doesn't he?<br/>

Hell, if you are going to play an Eastern Front game, you do tend to have at least read some info on it, and even the really basic stuff mentions the Soviet success at ...

Where do you get that information? While the Canadian Army could have used some more Bert Hoffmeisters it performed quite well despite average leadership. The 3rd Can Div was the only Allied division that came close to completing all its D ...

FYI, when development on WitE began in 2000, Gary and Keith discussed and planned to have a system where every item moved down a rail line (supplies, men, factories, etc) would be tracked per hex, and there would be limits on what could ...

The argument is economic: in this Greatest of Struggles, both sides were labouring mightily to achieve various things that would help achieve victory. The two railway systems were certainly among ...

Too high based on what? As mentioned in a previous post, the Sovs DID IN FACT EVAC much of their industry ...

<r> Pelton mein General, there y'are, was wondering when you'd turn up. Say, what is that dense pattern of rifle butt-shaped bruises all over your head, neck, &, wait... well, pretty much all over most o' the rest of you too, I'd guess. Figured you'd be in traction. Schön schön, you have a high pain ...

<r> To correct FlaviusX, which I do in a friendly way, acknowledging him as a senior board member held in high regard by all, who has done much for the game, and also adding that he is one of my favourite posters to read, whose analysis I often greatly enjoy, and whose reasoning I respect, even if I ...

<r> Some very good recent posts, even those against the view that rail cap should be reconsidered. I would raise one more broad point in favour, one that can be considered in abstract terms without heading to the archives.<br/>

So during blizzards do Axis su loses morale like other main formations? If so, what about the idea to move all su units out of blizzard zones? Would be very AP intensive to do that and move them back to corps HQs after the 1st blizzard months ...

<t> Thanks Mike. Ya, on the rail repair, I have seen a Const attached to a Corps fixing rail, but you're quite right, for most of the opening phases of the Campaign, the Corps & Army HQ's will be too far in front of the railheads to fix rail. I mighta read somewhere about a rule change whereby ...

I) Philosophy:<br/>
<br/>
I.1) save AP's by by setting all AG's, A's & overstocked Corps to SL 0 over the first several turns, OKH tours entire front & distributes SU's to Corps free of charge. Painstaking, life-draining micromanagement ...

<t> Good eyes! 17.1.4. says:<br/>
<br/>
... "Partisans may not be created or recruit in the following areas (by x, y map coordinates): X <50, Y >94 and X <70, Y >115 and X <75, and Y >15 and X <100. In addition, Partisans are much less likely to be formed in the area x<70 and y<45."<br/>

Also, killing most or all of the enemy makes the AI turns much faster!
