Re: River attack

I checked this for Ice 10 and it is the same; Infantry are halved, Motorised are reduced but not so much.
I don't think it was always like this in the game.

Re: River attack

Thanks.
I guess we can wait to hear from Joel if it is a bug, or a design feature - in which case the manual should be amended.

I wonder if it is the same for Ice level 10.
My recollection is that infantry did OK against icy rivers (waiting for the ice to assault across the river to Lenningrad ...

Re: River attack

The three combats below, I don't usually look at the details screen so not sure if the disruption is above normal.

The manual states that changes from the display CV and the initial combat CV are not taken into account for river crossings or first winter. It is April and the river is frozen so ...

Re: Changing OKH & AG's commanders

One problem with reassigning to OKH is that the AI may just revert back to who they had before, and the APs are wasted.

Re: River attack

So the second attack I took some screenshots before hand.

My attack CV is showing 59.3 for a Hasty, or 118.6 for a Deliberate (I can't screenshot the Deliberate attack value).
Yet the 2nd battle is only showing 560 before the randomiser.

It looks like the attack CVs are being halved for the river ...

River attack

I am attacking across a major river, the ice level is 8.
8.5.3 - Frozen ice levels (5 or more for minor rivers, 8 or more for major rivers) causes all
river hexsides (including impassable) to have much less impact on movement or
combat (and this is the only time a unit can attack across an ...

Re: Quick Questions Thread

Why is it that German AS sometimes has a maximum range of 8 but sometimes you can go to 9 ?
This is early war, after T2 and using 109 F2s, though 109 F4s seem to be the same.

The first pic shows range 9 working.
The second/third pics is for a different AS AD. It works at 8 but at 9 it is showing ...

Re: railway loading

I move them on different rail lines, so they don't use up too much capacity on one.
It doesn't matter so much early on in the game as the rail lines have spare capacity.

Re: Restrictions on the composition of army groups

Don't go over capacity.
I usually move 9th Army to AGN, sometimes put corps directly under OKH or generally shuffle things around.

Re: Axis players guide.

These are what I have been using recently, I wouldn't claim that they balance things perfectly because that would require a lot more testing but I think they help.
Germany/Finland/Slovakia - Early 0. Late +5.
Italy/Romania/Hungary - Early +5. Late +10.
Soviet - Early. 0, Late 0.

Re: Axis GC T1 Air strategy.

That is the one I meant, and yes it is outdated but still worth looking through.
I don't know if there is a airbase bombing guide for the current patch.

Re: Axis GC T1 Air strategy.

There are details given if you scroll through the war room.
I generally focus on the VVS fighters, except opposite Romania where I target the bombers too, shifting some air groups South to get more attacks in there.
Apart from the Crimea, I only do escorted attacks.

Re: Axis players guide.

I would agree that the later game is biased in favor of the Soviets and that if you start from an historical position in '43 then they should be able to win.
However there are morale modifiers now so that you can adjust that so I don't think that the post by Pat_ge is valid.

Re: Manual

IIRC it was reduced from 3 to 2 to help the Soviets since the Germans were very often advancing too fast.
Thanks.
But my main question is, are these changes documented and where can I look them up ?

I have just reinstalled the game and the manual seems to be the same at is has been since the beginning, they are dated 2019 & 2022.
Is there any updated version available OR a list of changes from patches ?

Re: What changes would you want in WITE3?

Personally I don't think there will be a WITE3, though I don't have any inside information.
This could be the last we see of this type of wargame for some time that tries to simulate on this scale with historical accuracy.
It is a shame as clearly the game has made great strides forwards since WITE1 ...
