Road to Moscow Scenario

First, I apologize if this topic has already been addressed in the forum. I did a quick scan of topics but could find no references.

I enjoyed very much playing the "Road to Moscow" scenario in the WitE 1 and was disappointed that it did not make its appearance in the second improved version of the ...

User Interface Differences between WitE, WitW, and WitE2

As an owner and a player of the three "War in the ..." games, I have encountered some inconsistencies in three interface areas that I hope will coalesce and standardize around the same interaction in these and any future versions.

1) Location of the Next Phase button. In WitE it is merged with ...

RE: "Mysterious Activity" on Road to Scenario Flanks

<t> I am currently playing the "Road to Dnepropetrovsk" scenario - definitely the hardest of the "Road to..." series to play! So many units, so much open space, a bunch of things to keep track off.<br/>
<br/>
I am still seeing "mysterious activity" almost constantly around Leningrad and Pskov ...

RE: "Mysterious Activity" on Road to Scenario Flanks

<t> Thanks for the reply.<br/>
<br/>
No, the air activity over Leningrad is air-drops (and the indicators and battles take place off the main map, over Leningrad). I recognize the partisan counters already, since I hunt them at the beginning of the turn [;)]. No, the units that appear and ...

RE: Gas in the panzers ...actually a lack thereof

There is a note about "advanced German players" optimizing the rate of supplies. What are the number of MP's that qualify as advanced and maximized? (So far, I normally have seen ranges between 15 and 35 MP's in the later stages of a campaign for the German mechanized units.)

"Mysterious Activity" on Road to Scenario Flanks

<r> I recently finished a Road to Moscow scenario where my German forces were able to completely breakthrough the Soviet defenses during the latter stages of the campaign in the north and the south. I noticed during the AI phase <I><s>[i]</s>mysterious activity<e>[/i]</e></I> in continuous air-drop ...

RE: Getting started

<t> I have a Windows systems - look at the row of numbers, the top one, and the first key on the left. The tilde key is above the apostrophe. I found this tip in one of the "War in the East sequence of play" docs - it does not appear to show in the hot-key display. It is a toggle and the lines will ...

RE: Enhancement Suggestions

Thanks for the pointers!

I appreciate the effort with the "maps" - an in-game option, however, would be easier to see and use.

From one newbie to another [;)]<br/>

How to start learning WitE - it depends upon your ultimate objective. I am going solo for now, trying to learn as much as I can before venturing out...<br/>

<t> Hi!<br/>
<br/>
I have just recently finished several scenarios - Road to Moscow, etc., Case Blue - and I must say that Gary Grisby's War in the East is everything I have been waiting for since Avalon Hill's Stalingrad, SPI's War in the East, and other board-games attempting to simulate the ...
