Its a great summer resort destination, might as well enjoy it one more summer!!!

Yes and yes. Answer is a bit nuanced. If you attach a SU to the first direct line HQ (ie, axis Korps level or soviet Army level), then the leader has to make die rolls to determine if the SU joins the combat of the HQs subordinate units (i.e., higher leader ratings for initiative means more likely ...

Right when you're finished right mouse clicking- check the top right of your screen and it will show the AOG (Koluft 3) with a button that says " transfer (1)". It says one in my case because I'm only transferring one unit-- click that transfer button and then it will give you your 3 choices ...

press the "a" key (to make the AOGs pop up). Then click the specific AOG you want to move an air unit from (in this case I have chosen the AOG Koluft 3), and the AOG should show which airfield(s) have air units that belong to that specific AOG (in this screenshot this AOG only had air units at the ...

Reduced retreat attrition (not Combat Delay Effects as originally written) - Reduced. This is a major boon to the Soviets. The reason for using it is that without it there is the possibility that Axis have a major advantage in '42 and can win the game by 'grinding'. So no strategic manoeuvre ...

Yah, for some reason (which I'm curious to see some discussion on) some players prefer no Ground Attack directives after the Axis turn 1 (for both sides)- what I've read on this forum is that early game Panzer spearheads (being out of range of friendly air cover) are suffering disproportionate ...

Excellent research/work, also (admittedly my following statement does not prove anything)- There is likely not one WW2 photo in existence that indicates/suggests an German infantry squad fully armed with MP40 burp guns (as your photo indicates it was primarily a squad leader weapon- that photo in ...

You know, by the fall of 1941, once the Germans had realized the Soviets may not be facing an imminent collapse they rushed to field measures to counter the T-34/KV-1 types that they had as of yet no tank equivalents for. The Marder I tank destroyers that came out in the first half of 1942 as an ...

Leads one to imagine just how were the Germans dealing with all those T-34 tanks they captured in the first 3-4 months of Barbarossa? Was there some kind of standing order that the T-34s that were in working order would be consolidated and protected somehow? In a central location (or decentralized ...

It’s 1941 and my Soviet infantry in good terrain and level one forts consistently are depleted after a round of combat. 14,000 men gone. Seems to me most folks run around 50% losses. 190k loses per turn just from German grinding frontal assaults.

Is this what the Reduced retreat option is ...

Trying to understand JB's brief exposition on the "reduced" option in that link posted (in reference to multiplayer games).

From what I read this is what I think he means: case 1) if both players are skilled (expert), then the Axis player has an inherent advantage (with JB's implication that the ...

Happened to me too. Just did a uninstall/clean reinstall- and still having the issue. The contents of the units seem to be correct. but all the names are weird and out of whack- e.g., all the infantry divisions on the map are now labeled Panzer Grenadier divisons. And the color Army color ...

Hahaha, as if that 4 pocket mass encirclement was realistic in the first place.

This is one of the ways that you can create a more flowing game rather than just solely an I GO- U GO dynamic--- Leadership sending units to threatened sectors in "real time." However, the only way to specify who they would "reserve for" is just a range dynamic- you can't specify who would be ...

When I was with Panther Games, we often had 88s in the OOB in an artillery role


Outside of their utility in the Anti-armor role, I have seen anecdotal accounts of groups of 88 Flaks being used in the sustained indirect (albeit less effective than regular) artillery role (implied against soft ...

Can anyone clarify what exactly is included in the 10 dollar extra option for Steel. Like what I'm asking is if I don't opt to spend the xtra 10 bucks, then what don't I get. Thanks.

I bought this back in January and still haven't played a turn yet. Going to try again. Many many hours spent reading posts, the manual and watching videos. Still can't make sense out of most of it. Air war, Su's, rail repair system and Supply are still a complete mystery to me.
Is there one place ...

Some of 2nd Panzer Gruppes (Guderian) dispositions evening of 23 June

1941

There are some scenario and data changes that you will miss out on, but in the context of a 1941 campaign, nothing so major that you should feel you need to restart your game. If it were me, I'd keep going. You'll get all the code changes and bug fixes.


Noticed a Pruzhany-Ruzhany-Slonim average ...

that's helpful, I've been playing my campaign game with refit "off" this whole time lolz. I thought it was default on. thanks for clarifying.
