RE: The Italians in WitE

<t> I guess the reason for allowing the Germans (ond noone else) to attach to divisions is that they did have better leadership overall, making the m able to attach more units to a given division.<br/>

I do not really see the point of breaking an Italian unit into its component parts given ...

The Italians in WitE

<t> I believe the Italians in WitE should be able to attach battallion and lower sized support units directly to the divisions (in the same way as the Germans do). I fully respect such a change not to be implemented in WitE I but I hope to see it in WitE II.<br/>

Historically, the Italians ...

RE: Axis Recon Planes

<t> I believe I read somewhere that the Germans often used their recon planes for stuff such as artillery spotting (unlike the Soviets).<br/>
<br/>
This also helps explain why the German artillery was so much more deadly the the Soviet (measured piece by piece).<br/>

RE: Air System References and Tips

I am not after the movement of air bases but rather the transfer of Air Groups between air bases. If you know what you are doing, you can exploit this a lot, especially as you have an entire turn before the opponent can do anything to counter his mistakes.

RE: SP Flak disband to send to Panzers

<t> Alternately, just set the MaxToe to 20%. Also have a look at how many you need to disband and consider if the support units don't do better sitting at the Corps level and being sent forward to help in battles of the individual divisions of the corps.<br/>
