I know. And I did use the game installer.

Maybe I should have been more clear on how I installed WitE 2.

It's not the first time I install a Gary Grigsby game and it's not the first time I install WitE 2.

And so the problem remains.

As I wrote in my original post I don't get the chance to either

a. enter the serial number of the 'Steel Inferno' DLC

b. get the pop up with the message that I'm already 'up to date'.

The first and only message I get is that I need to install the 01.03.11 update.

I then have the chance to open ...

After switching to Linux (Fedora - last Windows update killed my Nvme and SSD) and trying to learn how to use it I wanted to install WitE 2 again. I downloaded the installer, the latest update (01.04.12) and the Steel Inferno DLC from 'My page' on the Matrix site.

Everything worked fine, until ...

I want to play the game with a more historical approach and those PRB somehow don't seem to fit into the way the 'Wehrmacht' was organised (they reorganised the way those replacement units were build and rebuild and reorganized again so many times you probably can't simulate that in a commercial ...

You could explain it to yourself - for more immersive gameplay - like this:

Since they're gone fight alongside the German units inside the German chain of command and supply there have to be some standardizations like ammunition (rifle and artillery), uniforms, radio equipment, cars and trucks etc ...

Playing with the latest patch.

I'm in late 1941 and have encircled Leningrad. Battling my way northward I realised the battle was fought against two rifle divsions and a cavalry division. The two rifle division came from the southern front and got a -10%.

So if the AI somehow transports divisions ...

Hi!
I am impressed by this work.
Well tuned overall.
A mild ground colour and the great detail with the marked coastal lines.
Thats new!
Gives a real map sense.
I think of later using it when doing historical map overlays
if its OK with you. Of course I then mention ...

Yes, if you put them all at 4 it will clog up the train capacity. The way to do it is that you set a few of them to 4 each turn. When they fill up, you set them to 1 again. Then they send the accumulated freight further east. This way you get more freight at the front. It is called "pumping". It ...

people will return when their housing conditions are improved, no one will live in rubble


Do you know whether it's worth reconstructing the manpower in '41?
I always need those RCSU for building and repair railyards and digging trenches. Since I didn't get into the GC that far, it might be ...

I did subscribe to these videos; really nice work. Very well done.

ALSO! My best source - lexikon-der-wehrmacht - lacks 1941 maps for the XVI Korps.
Your video will allow me to refine this corps' movement!


If you want some original German maps (and other information) from the eastern front ...

Thanks, I did indeed use the AI supply button - don't know why though, probably just to find out whether it does a good job or not. But why does the AI delete depots? Puting them on 0 priority would be sufficiant or wouldn't it?

And about the 'manpower'. This could make sense, probably not all the ...

I'm playing with the latest beta.

Today I suddenly realised that my depot at Brest Litowsk has gone and some more as well, but I'm not sure about those. I've never had this before (or I didn't realise it, but that is rather unlikely). There is and was partisan activity in the area, but AGC HQ with ...

I see your point so I looked at the 'Stalingrad to Berlin campaign' - Soviet side - because it starts in winter.

And here too the units (motorized or foot), well they don't avoid roads, but they don't seem to make as much use of the advantages of the available average and goods roads as they should ...

Thanks for the answer.

But let me give you an example for what I mean: turn 3 Army Group South. 298th ID, hex west of Kivertsy (189/177), 15 MP left. I want to move this ID east to Rovno.

The way the route is taken by the computer is one hex to the southeast (190/178) and then strait to the east ...

I searched the forum as well as the manual for this question but didn't find a satisfactory answer. So I try it here.
I'm just a casual player but I noticed, that when I move units around they rarely follow the roads, be it major or minor ones.

E.g. in swampy/wooded areas units (motorized or not ...

Thanks for the explanation,

and

nice link by the way

I was considering starting a new campaign with the latest beta and was looking over the setup in '41.
I looked at the 16. Mot Division (XXXXVIII. Corps) and saw that it had listed 10 tanks on the unit information shield. So I looked at the ToE of the 16. MD and didn't find any tanks. Other motorised ...

Interesting, thanks.
But how comes that it never happend to me before? I'm pretty sure I encircled those Soviet forces in previous games and always had to fight those fortified places (encircled them on turn 2 and fought them on turn 3 or 4). Or is this a new way of the allocation of supplies?

Just started a new 'grand campaign' and noticed, that I don't have to fight fortified soviet places after I encircled them (I'm not sure whether it is a question of encirclement but this is where I noticed it). They just vanish into thin air as soon as I approach them.
I'm pretty sure this didn't ...

Since WitE 2 tries to be a simulation to depict the German war time economy for R&D and upgrading the units would be quite laborious for the developers (and probably even a whole simulation by itself - if it could be done at all).
To me it is a fair compromise to have the historical upgrade schedule ...
