These pictures are multiple turns apart, after having swapped assault front status for a full turn.

Regarding resources, it depends where the unit is. A hex is cut off from the rail network if it borders an enemy unit. Iirc, factories and depots function when they are on the first hex to be cut off.

Regarding the NSS, having a unit next to it temporarily reduces the amount of freight it produces ...

Note that rifle brigades and other infantry brigades and (and should be) attached to tank corps without penalty, which are otherwise absurdly fragile.

One of the benefits of assault fronts for the soviets is that they eliminate the ammo penalty artillery sus are supposed to have. One would expect this to extend to artillery divisions. Is this the case?

Note the ammunition needs for both - left is in an assault front, right is not ...

41, it's hard. The best way would be to retreat or rout far enough that you aren't in danger of a second battle. I am not going to get into herding here, since that's a different beast entirely, but that's the core of it. I guess that would mean triple stacking as much as you can in the front and ...

It seems to me that a unit which has retreated and is then hit by mobile force causing severe losses does not necessarily equate to "WW1 grinding" but to encirclements within the scale of the hex rather than outside of it. I'm curious to hear more input on this from the community as I believe ...

Note that some corps hqs turn into army hqs, and others will by chance have a 6 or 7 inf leader put into them. I would recommend using those, and throwing the rest of the corps hqs far behind your lines to peacefully disband. It's cheaper to assign someone to a corps than an army, iirc, and if a ...

My understanding is that at low skill levels, it favors whoever catches on the quickest to what needs to be done. At mid skill level, probably slight favor towards soviets as they learn to not get encircled. High skill level, there appears to be little a Soviet can do against WW1 grinding once the ...

Some planets types tend towards not having a dense planet, which results in little to no metal deposits.

Ive beed having one difficulty with Oceania: generating a fun map to play on. After a lot of false starts, I finally had a good one, and am liking the mechanics of the dlc. But I find it so hard to generate a good planet! I have been experimenting with Robinson Crusoe+Nemesis+Raider heavy+spread out ...

Against players, as it was true in wite1, the more time you spend in the turn, looking at hqs, commanders reports, pour over the air war, plan offensives, position units, etc. the better you will be at the game. A newbie who spends 10+ hours looking at a turn and results will easily outplay a vet ...

For the first ten turns or so, support units that can be on the map are best on the map, just because there is value in having counters on hexes. With recentish cpp changes it is more valuable to double stack at important points, rather than having single stacks that used to be used for cpp ...

Looking for another opponent; work lessened up a bit for a while.

Ideally intermediate or beginner, but I don't mind getting trounced, as long as I can learn. First time with wite2 in MP, though I've done some wite1.

CPP does not affect movement, as well as any SUs


Is this a new thing? The manual states: "Note that in addition, CPP can have a substantial
effect on the MP of a unit (22.1). If the unit passes a test
comparing CPP to a dice roll (higher the CPP, the greater
chance to pass) then the movement ...

One strategy I've seen is to remove all the support units from hqs, then reassign them to units or hqs as needed. However, this incurs a 50% CPP penalty for being reassigned according to the manual - so assign the SU to STAVKA and then back to an HQ should drain a lot of CPP, id imagine around 60 ...

I'm newish. Looking for a game with these rules:

Random weather
No Soviet combat bonus
Harsh winter

Prefer PBEM. Looking to do around 2-4 turns a week, depending on your pace.

Separate tank battalions are very useful, being one of the highest CV support units in the roster.

Title. Accidently set the rules improperly, and would like to not have wasted a good portion of my life. It is a pbem, not a server game.

If you have a bunch of divisions and corps with SUs directly attached, does it make sense to attach SUs to HQs? Also, what are good SUs to directly attach? Pioneers/sappers/tank support/MG-Artillery and SP artillery all seem like good picks.
