"Major Country Surrender = 3% * number of remaining units within the home country"

I'm surprised this mechanism has nothing to do with National Morale, but I'm ok with it.


It actually has. As was confirmed by Bill or Hubert quite some time ago.

When no Capital is left the chance to continue ...

Also, in some older post, Bill or Hubert said that AA upgrades of ressources only count fully, when the hex is not occupied by a unit.
If it is occupied, the bonus AA defense is halved by 50%.
So you if you want to harden your units on ressources, cities or harbours vs air attacks, the 1, 3 and 5 ...

I see, thanks for the reply.

These are not units totally out of supply but maybe the same mechanic takes over.
At the timestamp where the video starts it can be seen, that the unit in question has a supply of 7.
After initial attack and swap it ended up with 1 AP and was able to reach a hex that ...

Hi all,

in my current match I noticed several times that units were able to cross at 1 AP cost where they never should be able to do this.
In the following link this can be seen.
Additional info: The unit had 3 AP at the start. Made a prepared attack -1, swapped -1 and then could have moved into ...

Took me quite a few tries with the AI to find it.

Looks like the Manual is missing one additional piece in that the check for Majors (Majors only) also includes a consideration for the current ...

I‘m pretty sure I read this in a post from Bill or Hubert. But I would bet only a small amount on it

Fun thing. remembers me of Beauregard running 3 times in a single turn from my Northeners lol

As for the mechanics it would have been 2 units x 3% = 6%
But while small that is still not the bullet he dodged.
The 6% get multiplied by the current NM
Which in your case seemed to be very low. Lets ...

I've tried to repeat this but to no avail, is this perhaps a custom campaign?


No it is a still running vanilla MP in the 1939 campaign.
Now that I think about it I do not even remember how Estonia can be still neutral.

I re-checked - all 3 Baltic states where neutral.
Axis declared on ...

Hi all,

in my recent match Riga got cut off the rail and did not drop to 5.
Had I realized that I might have left the army there (to do a heroic last stand and go down for cheap rebuy).

I think this is a bug

Ah!

I always thought it adds the bonus % as a flat value at the end.
5/2 = 2,5 = 3 and then +2

Knowing this does hardly change a thing. But thank you for the explanation!

From my notes, I have the following, hopefully this answers the question?

-- RULES
-- Only the intelligence levels from fully mobilized enemy majors are taken into account.

-- EXAMPLES
-- UK and Germany are fully mobilized. Higher enemy intelligence levels will be taken into account for ...

The Screenshot is too small to determine where the supply might exactly come from.
Nonetheless to my understanding the British HQ must receive at least 1 supply from a friendly HQ outside of Russia.
That would allow for an 8

I tried similar stuff in WiE but although (with Double HQ) the units had ...

I loved my paratroopers pre-patch but they there simply too extreme.
As OCB described you could forcemarch them through gaps and do crazy stuff.
Not just capturing cities. Cutting the final rail connection to drop an entire front comes to mind.
They where way too powerful and overused compared to ...

If you drop Malta‘s supply to zero with battleships (and blockade the 2 ports) the combat readiness of the AA gun drops significantly and it is a lot easier to take out. Also it can only partially be repaired which makes it even easier ti finish.

Battleships only will never do the trick tho ...

Sounds interesting. Especially the new research options!

yes please. there are several spots where it always goes wrong

Oh wow. Never knew that thanks!
It is still good for taking down Leningrad I guess

Actually escort range is a lot higher. Twice the intercept range I think.
