<r> By June 1942, the 1st Division looks like it was transferred out, but the 8th and 17th Divisions are still in the Karelian. <LINK link="http://www.axishistory.com/axis-nations/finland/134-campaigns-a-operations/campaigns-a-operations/1927-24-june-1942-the-buildup-to-fall-blau"><s>[link=http ...

The Leningrad front was the primary front.
All of Finland's important cities and industry are
right behind the front there.

I have played 4 campaign games and never saw this magnitude withdrawl before.

<r> This amount of withdrawls were <B><s>[b]</s>not<e>[/b]</e></B> in earlier versions. <br/>
One very important reason for taking Leningrad early was to be able to use the Finnish Army <br/>
in the south. Currently the army is so small, it is almost useless. <br/>
When I was playing against the ...

<t> I have noticed in the Campaign 1941-1945 that half of the starting Finish Army withdraws before January 1942. This was not happening in earlier versions. Since half of the rather small Finnish Army goes away, the Russian side can easily annihilate it. Is this really working as intended? The ...

<t> Yes, destroying factories outside Germany does do damage, except for terror bombing points. In the first part of the 1943 Campaign, the Allies are desperately short of long range escort aircraft. Bombing past the Ruhr can result in massive bomber losses. Attacking closer targets in France ...

What should be the morale, etc. factors for Soviets and Germans be for V1.07.13, for both solitaire and pbem?

What I would like to see is a completely new system for reserves. The current system offers quite ridiculous results. Against the AI I have seen infantry units sprint over 50 miles across two rivers to engage into a battle and then sprint back ...

By the way, the mini-campaigns should cover Brest to Berlin.
