RE: is there any point in mechanized artillery?

Only one way to find out. A unit's type is listed in the combat odds preview / unit selection screen.

RE: Is spying a bit overpowered?

<t> Ah, now it makes sense. My secret service director did have a high covert ops skill.<br/>
<br/>
Still, my main issue is not that spies are killed too easily. It is the fact that spying reveals too much when it is high. I wouldn't mind seeing aggregated repots on economy, technology, manpower ...

Major Regimes seem to catch your spies rather quickly. And they are much harder to place spies into. Average PP/spy/spy lifetime is much less efficient than minor regime zones.

RE: posture bonuses - what counts as "mechanized", "infantry", etc

ORIGINAL: zgrssd
Mechanized propably refers to APC subunits only.

This is not correct. Tanks also count as mechanized. See the attached screenshot.

Bumping this because a lot of good points have been raised, with balancing the infantry weapons being the most important one.

RE: posture bonuses - what counts as "mechanized", "infantry", etc

ORIGINAL: DTurtle
The bonuses for attack/defense are applied per subunit.

This is the crucial point. Bonuses are applied not on the OOB level, but on the individual subunit level.

In the combat unit selection modal, on the top right quarter, you see a "UNITGROUP" list, any of "guns," "infantry," or "tanks". Well, given the ...

posture bonuses - what counts as "mechanized", "infantry", etc

<t> Postures apply to a specific type of troop - some to mechanized, others to infantry. But it is not clear what type a given unit is. <br/>

Take the Mechanized Armored Grenadier OOB, for example. It has an equal mix of Infantry, RPG, MG and Artillery all mounted on APCs, and tanks. Is this ...

Is spying a bit overpowered?

<t> Send a couple of spies in to a zone, and you get 100 recon on every hex. For a negligible cost, you get to see all units, their troop types, location, posture, makeup, even readiness and morale levels. Maybe not accurately (I don't know), but still more than enough. To me, this is overpowered ...

OHQ commander killed in combat while not in it

Today I've had an OHQ commander die in a battle involving units under her command, but the actual HQ unit was not in it. Is this supposed to happen? IIRC, the manual says the leader has a chance of dying only if directly involved in a losing battle.

Glorious War - does it work as advertised?

Has anyone else noticed that the Glorious War posture does not seem to apply the stated bonus to max morale? In that max morale seems to be 100 with or without it? Or am I missing something?

I'm not sure about morale growth bonus either...

Basic Supply, Soviets
