A vehicle can automatically enter defilade when it stops. The chance is based on the terrain relief value and the training level of the unit. It's visualized by the green arc, showing the direction. In AB2, if the attacker is on a much higher ground he can negate the target's defilade state ...

Technically, the forces can be nearly infinite. You degrade those capabilities in the local force during the battle. If the next fight is a day or so later, you may be fighting a new brigade with all its toys while the shattered one is out and refitting. The game's scope is small enough that you ...

I am essentially playing a US combined arms company/coy combat team (1x Coy mounted in Bradley IFVs with a supporting platoon of tanks) to which some enablers have been added. The OPFOR is the Soviets. The year is 1991. I am playing on the default settings for OPFOR points and Support points.

<r> Hi everyone, so obviously I did not update here as often as I should have. Nonetheless, I have updated the turn log:<br/>

<r> Hello fellow Grognards. Roughly 6 months ago I launched an experiment where I would take people interested in military history and wargaming, but with little to no WiTE experience, and give them control of OKH in the 1941 Grand Campaign. I advertised here looking for an umpire, and the very ...

<r> Hello fine lads and gals of the Matrix Forum!<br/>
<br/>
Today I'm offering something of a strange and experimental opportunity. I'm currently preparing a wargame, in the military sense, that uses Gary Grigsby's War in the East as an adjudication engine for moves. The idea is to gather people ...

<t> Hi, I am trying to get some of my friends into the game to try out multiplayer. I would probably play Soviet since I haven't tried them yet and that way it would be more "even". Long term I also really enjoy the freedom the Soviets have to customize their army.<br/>

What ruleset would ...

To be honest the AI is unplayable on the German side as you saw by yourself. The only way you can play this game solo is as the German against the Soviet AI on challenging difficulty level.

I have also started playing the Soviet side after playing a number of games as the Axis. For my 1st game I set it to Easy since I was using it as a learning experience. You can get some valuable insights from that. Game was easy peasy. I ...

Looks like a fairly easy win for you in '42 with the Soviet OOB below 4M.<br/>
Use APs for more HQBs. Also for moving SUs around and changing the HQ hierarchy as the ...

<r> Casualties.<br/>
<br/>
I think these are decent results? The German casualties might be a bit high as obviously I didn't manage my blizzard optimally. Some of these will return of course. I think the Soviet casualties are where they should be.<br/>

<r> OOB.<br/>
<br/>
Overall I'm very pleased with where the OOB sits at. I maintained 3.3 mil Germans in the field throughout the blizzard and now after getting the first wave of blizzard replacements, I feel 3.6 mil is very good. I kept the Soviet OOB smaller than me in AFVs since the big pockets ...

The south is where I thought I was real smart during the summer. Standard Lvov pocket. I got to Kiev on turn 3 and secured a bridgehead across the Dniepr. The front lagged a bit as I moved to contest it along ...

I think I did well in the center. Cut the rail to Minsk in turn 1 and made a decent sized pocket. I got to the land bridge in turn 2 and held a position there while keeping the Soviets weak with my panzers ...

<r> Hi y'all, so I returned to WiTE after my abortive attempt a few years back, flush with new operational knowledge. My last campaign didn't do very well, but I think this one has a good chance of succeeding. This is vs the AI and it is my second game. I am looking for feedback as to where I can ...

<t> Correction, I have about 80-100 units destroyed total, the 25 was just last turn's pocket. <br/>

I'm just wondering from a strategical perspective if I should drive hard into ukraine/ the south and take out factories, or concentrate all my panzers in one place to say, take out leningrad ...

AI, Normal difficulty. As I said this was my first game so I went pretty vanilla, all the options are default, incl historical weather.
