One of my biggest problems with the War of the East series is the lack of automation. I truly enjoy the granularity of the combat simulation and the simulation of every single unit that existed but I do not want to personally move them all every single turn.
The Soviets in this game would make for ...

Axis is severely manpower limited so that may hinder many reinforcements to be sent out.
Game engine seems to like sending out support squads instead of other equipment even if the unit already has more support than currently required. (just my personal feeling)
Lots of manpower is often bound in ...

The Replacement system in WiE2 is trash and has been since release. I'm surprised that there are so few threads about it.
I have made a test a while ago where I gave Axis unlimited ressources and material/tanks in the editor, and then had the AI battle the Soviet AI until blizzard.
The German TOE ...

<t> When I played I build support units as soon as they were available for normal price and after I got rid of the most useless generals. Try to build units that use generic armament instead of specific artillery guns/rocket artillery, as you'll likely be short on special models early on. Check the ...

If you make the turns 1 day 99% of players would never see 1942 happening. Imagine the pure horror of taking care of 700 Soviet units and moving each one of them 1 hex at a time. There ...

<t> One thing I suspect are the Blizzard rules. If I remember right they add a flat x2 modifier in displayed combat value to all Soviet Units and a bad modifier to the Germans. But this is purely visual, to show that Soviet Units operate at higher efficiency, it doesn't reflect the actual combat ...

<t> Well the German combat value was lowered as well, so the issue here are your troops.<br/>
<br/>
What happened is you failed some leader checks, the game doesn't tell you which, but it has a serious effect on Combat Value. There is nothing you can do against it sadly, as it is random and even ...

<t> How can you play both sides in the same game? Would be very immersion breaking for me since naturally you hope for that one encirclement to complete or your troops to escape. Play Soviets vs German AI, it is super easy and good for learning, believe me, in my last games I isolated the Germans in ...

<t> Happens to me to and I have a very expensive top-of-the-line CPU in my Computer. It's an engine issue. The map and responsiveness feel very poor even compared to some other games of the same genre. Especially since maps and popups should absolutely not take the ressources they take now.<br ...

Compared to games like Hearts of Iron this interface is really... unintuitive. Doesn't help that half the time stuff doesn't work because of some hidden game rule that was added after a specific patch.

I also have current beta and naval infantry units (those that use naval rifle squads) indeed are not possible to merge with anything. It's really odd and extra confusing with the naval rifle brigades, which are just rifle brigades named differently but use the same TOE and can be merged.

EDIT:

Wow after stripping my post of all screenshots and numbers this apparently is the only thing I'm allowed to post here. What were the forum designers thinking?

<t> Well if you are new, playing against Human players might not be the best idea to learn basic game mechanics. I'd advise to play as Soviets in the 1941 scenario as they are very forgiving and give time to properly grasp some concepts. In your second image you have lanuched an attack over a river ...

<t> I have some really juicy screenshots from my recent campaign against challenging AI but sadly forum will not let me post them [&:]. In one battle I got attacked during mud-turn by Axis, managed to hold but lost over 450 KIA while Axis had 10 wounded!<br/>
The entire 1941 year was complete ...
