Or just use a Lvov House Rule that limits German movement in the South in the first three turns of the game.

Hi timms : A good summary of some of the more salient issues. Now you know why WITE 2.0 is in the works.

<r> @Dorkey8 : Actually, I was responding to the OP... but since you asked, I would suggest you read through the revised rules <COLOR color="#FF0000"><s>[color=#FF0000]</s>carefully<e>[/color]</e></COLOR>. Also spend some time reading through the player comments, AARs, and patch notes in the forum ...

Welcome to the Addiction...

And only those airbases attached via HQ of the same Army or Front will respond. So don't expect air support from units not in the same command chain as the targets. (At least this is my understanding.)

Yep... and a Happy New Year!

<t> Hang in there buddy... Life has a way of giving and taking, but usually in balance.<br/>
It sounds like you have had your fair share of the downside, so you are due for some positive turns in the coming year. <br/>

Best Wishes, Prayers, and Warmest Regards to you and your Family this ...

"Panzer Leader" from Guderian is great to read when you play the German, you can really follow the Army Group Center's operations while you play ...

<t> All the "Better math" option does is display a better estimation of the effective CV indicated on the units. It does a better job of informing a player of the actual strength of his units for possible combat. You must achieve a 2 to 1 one ratio for a victory. Unless I can see a 3 to 1 ratio ...

<t> In my opinion, you need to use the 1-1=2-1 option at the very least. Otherwise the Russian cannot achieve the necessary victories he needs to raise morale and guards units. Without this, his chance of surviving 42 is minimal. Even with it, if the Russian does not aggressively counter attack in ...

<t> The person I have played against for the past 5 years is very skilled at the German side. He has yet to fail to capture Leningrad, Moskow, and Rostov by the end of 1941. Although I can often temporarily retake Moskow by early spring of 42, He usually retakes it by late spring of 42. As for his ...

I don't know how these games play out in the long run, but losing 4 million guys and Moscow and Leningrad doesn't mean the game is over.

Let's hope ...

<r> And with all these issues... the choice of which units to combine with which is crucial to get the best result. It would be nice if the mechanics at work here were at least documented so the player understood them and was not left a random crap shoot. <SM sm="Christo_pull_hair.gif">[sm=Christo ...

<t> From HardLuckYetAgain: "TacB in the ShAD. These are totally ineffective until Jan 42 so only turn on ground attack at this time. <br/>
<br/>
This statement is 100% not true if you are talking about TacB aircraft in general for the Soviets in 41. Even TacB on Shad bases are VERY effective in 41 ...

Thanks for the input. So the "need" plus the "air need" is the potential total need for the turn and should be allowed for. Does anybody know the penalty curve details on maintenance of aircraft or attrition or whatever. How much can you exceed the limits before penalties turn prohibitive ?

<t> What madness is this ? The Russians already have trouble getting enough movement points to lug their slow ass even one hex...<br/>
<br/>
But when it comes time to form Infantry Corps from Divisions... let's pour salt into the wound.<br/>

I build up three IDs with the same morale (49 ...

Agreed. It was one of the first in my library on the subject.

If you want to get a bird's eye view of the war from the foot slogging Landser's experience,

I suggest "FRONTSOLDATEN" by Stephen G. Fritz.

<t> How do you decide ? I have been using the support "Need/Available" numbers shown on the airbase units to judge it.<br/>
However I am not certain I am reading the support levels correctly. <br/>
<br/>
The support levels are shown as "X number of support available/needed (needed air)".<br ...

But if you read the turn event log report, even with fog on you will see a line that says something like " X number of partisan supply drops from bases other than VVS" when it happens... I forget the exact wording.
