What is the idea of having all the cav divisions in the rear waiting around? They are very useful for flipping hexagons whenever you get a breakthrough.

Understood, thanks for the update and best regards

Thanks for the info. Clearly we need an AAR Gulag to make people finish their AARs under a forced writing regime.

So far the steady 2-3 hex per turn German retreat is working flawless to prevent the Soviets from doing much of anything across basically the entire front. Feeling reminded of Pelton's hex to turn ratio retreats :D Any updates on this game? From the little information shared I guess Soviets doing w...

Very good job on the AAR, well done illustrations and descriptions!

I've been playing both sides of the grand campaign (solitaire style) quite a bit lately and am finding it a lot of fun. Needless to say, I can't deceive the other side as to what they plan to do but it's been very diverting and instructive to see exactly what issues the other side labors under, fig...

On further review, I have come to agree that a 23k B is a good "late-early" build -- if you MUST build cap ships before Torp Prot. 1900 23kN BC/Bs are not possible anymore in later versions, AFAIK. I simply go with 22kN Bs instead. You can't chase down all starting fleet enemy cruisers an...

Thank you for the explanations, very helpful. Do you have more such tricks/discoveries that you could share/AAR? I am new to WEGO and tactical level games and the engine and am currently trying to understand the finer aspects and workarounds of the game. One problem I have: I want to attack an enem...

True, but you can't determine the path and end point. So a prepared retreat where the first line fires and then quickly withdraws to the next defence line into pre-designated locations to reload is not really possible. Unfortunately, yes. I hope this feature can be put on Dev team's to do list the ...

Me too!

I often find myself in the situation that I want units to keep their advantageous position if receiving direct fire (losses) but not when being the focus of indirect fire. It would be great to have an option to set up this behaviour.

Thank you for your reply! Note that even direct fire units can be given SOP->Relocate When->After each fire mission(or after all fire missions) to have them scoot after firing. And a mechanic for designating withdrawal points is coming. True, but you can't determine the path and end point. So a prep...

I want to set up my units on a hill combe. They are supposed to quickly shoot their ATGMs at the approaching enemy and then follow a pre-defined path to a pre-defined new location. Is there a way to set up such a mission? From my understanding, you can either set up screen/hold orders and leave the ...

vzlqbi9j3ni31.jpg Hmm. Von Klest? Wasn't he the heersgruppe commander whom we handed over to the Sovs, who convicted him of subversion of the Soviet People through "kindness and humanitarianism" (their words, not mine), and he died in the gulag? (At least his son got out.) Any relation? N...

Hey guys, long time fan of WITE 1 and 2. My friend on these forums, Old Crow Balthazar recommended I share my new series here on Barbarossa for all the eastern front fans to enjoy. Here is the link to it on YT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHNaaL27w1E&t=5s Let me know what you guys think! Che...

Thank you!

I bet if you were to name what you consider to be a "perfect" UI, then you'd quickly find others to argue with you. ;) Could be. Will I also find people that consider Ctrl-K an ergonomic shortcut? For my post intends to warn about circuitous shortcuts and matryoshka menus more than to def...

Game workflow and UI are among the most important aspects of a game. However, wargame designers often neglect this part. Please consider: There is a hierarchy of how often during the typical gameplay 1) Certain information must be accessed. 2) Certain interactions with the game must be performed. Th...

Hi, thank you for the reply and thanks for considering 2). I think it is useful to estimate a hierarchy how often a) certain information is needed and b) how often a certain action by the user is needed in typical game flow and then adjust menus, shortkeys etc. accordingly. The most common actions i...
