Re: Restored server game: cannot save, error about ChallengeID

Hi Joel, that's the correct game, yes!

The last turn should have been by Veterin, on May 19th, so that's correct. I assume the July 4th is by the support team restoring the game. I will continue working with them to see if they can do anything to get it working again. Thanks!

Restored server game: cannot save, error about ChallengeID

A server game was ended by my opponent (my fault though), and after discussing with my opponent we asked Matrix tech support to restore the game, and happily they were able to.

With the restored game, now I can't save to the server. The "uploading game" progress bar gets halfway and resets to the ...

Re: Recon tips


Given the longer term I don't think you can sustain a 7 day/week allocation. The Soviets start with a lot of recon but even being careful it gets very short come mid-42 and you usually only have 2 air groups/front come 1943.

So this sort of real commitment is probably not sustainable and only ...

Steam: what is saved in the cloud?

I bought on release and switched to the Steam version a while back.

Today I installed a new drive and moved a bunch of games and got some extra Steam notifications as a result. One was for WitE2, when I opened it: "Steam Cloud save {3 days ago}, local save {today}".

That got me thinking, what's ...

Re: 300%+ damaged aircraft

There's zero Axis aircraft listed as air losses in the current turn's logistic phase (the one with all zeroes). I didn't view last turn's (the one with 400% damage) air losses in that level of detail though.

Re: 300%+ damaged aircraft

I noticed this in my server game as well, noted the air group, and checked again the next turn. They were all fully repaired.

Re: Quick Questions Thread

I've created Ground Attack air directives targeting hexes with enemy units, with mission priority set to High for Unit, and to None for all other missions. I'm trying to cause ground element damage and disruption to help with planned ground combats in this turn.

The combat results for these show ...

RE: Army group center supply tips

I find that the double rail line along the north bank of the Dvina is easier to get going early than the rail through Minsk. Might just be how I structure my attack, though. I have yet to be persuaded that Leningrad's 36 points are worth fighting for.

RE: Got my manual today, take a look!

<t> Don't worry, the shipping companies would find a way to damage it in a box, too. I used to work in the parts department of a BMW dealership in Arizona. Sometimes we'd have to get parts rush shipped via Fedex from Germany. I'd say a solid 10% of those parts arrived damaged - and BMW does not ...

RE: Truck Summary in logistics Phase Report is hard to understand:

Can support units be committed from a higher-level HQ (i.e. German 11th Army) to subordinates of a lower-level HQ (i.e. German 11th Army, XI Corps) if it is within 5 hexes of the combat?

<t> The Soviets getting more MP than should be possible for a Soviet motorized unit in 1941 just seems like a rules oversight. Motorized rifle divisions should have the same limited MP as mechanized divisions. <br/>
