What I'm seeing is some PzD's refill their trucks in AR and keep them when coming back to the map and some are shedding all the trucks instead. No noticeable pattern why some formations keep their trucks and some don't.

<t> Applied science ("linear") techs are not meant to be researched to 100%. They have a rapidly escalating research cost, and give an incremental bonus the further you research them. But you will never really "finish" them as you do most other ("binary") techs.<br/>

From manual: "The extra MP cost of attacking across a river is equal to 2/3 of the MP cost (truncated) for moving across a river (based on ice<br/>

So in this case the base attack cost is 5MP (as a non-mot. type 2 unit ...

Yes. Some newly formed Italian units arrive as reinforcements for the Axis in 44.

Yeah, every garrison city needs at least 10 (garrison) CV and a security unit present.

Half right:

Indeed the fighter intercept percentage doesn't matter, as the percent required to fly overrides everything. Thus any group that drops below the set percentage won't fly no matter what happens.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: thedoctorking<br/>

However, more likely is that the fact that we were running at 300% interception level in our air preferences meant that all our fighters ran out of miles. They encouraged this by running a large number of pointless recon missions that ...

<t> The Kiev-Kursk-Kharkov railway only provides full supply in the immediate vicinity of the rail line when heading east of Dnepropetrovsk/Pavlograd, which makes a sustained push harder. And that's during good weather. <br/>

Happens via playing a card. You've to assign Zhukov to an army, and that army has to have at least one division in a bridge hex and within command range. That allows you to play the (free) blow bridge card.

All German armies are already in blitzkrieg posture at start, hence you can't play the card.

<t> Overall DC:B is quite balanced.<br/>
<br/>
However, a lot depends on how experienced the German player is. At beginner/intermediate level I'd have to say the Soviet side is favored, but at very high level play I'd tip the advantage to the German side.<br/>

Nevertheless it's a very ...
