East Front Does Not Work

Following up on an earlier post, I've come to the conclusion that nothing about the East Front works in any way like the rules say it should. This is poorly done. I'm currently playing the Allies. I left the East Front Control box unchecked. According to the rules, this means that the war on the Eas...

Does the East Front Box Actually Matter?

I'm playing as the Germans, and made slowing down the Red Army a priority. For thirteen months, I never let the Front Condition fall to Critical, and kept it Stable for more than 2/3 of that time. And yet, Operation Bagration ended exactly where it did historically: on the doorstep of Warsaw. It fee...

Meeting Garrison Requirements

I'm playing the Germans, and I keep getting a message that I have failed to meet the garrison requirements when I try to end my turn. Except, on the garrison screen, I have more CVs in place than the listed requirement. So, what does this mean?

CV in the East Front Box

When playing the Germans, is there incremental value in adding CV to the EF box, or is the only thing that matters which of the three statuses you reach? Is CV that you send beyond what is necessary to achieve the Fluid status, considering the randomization factor, just wasted? Also, how large is th...

Artillery Getting Auto Assigned

I'm having a problem with artillery support units. I assign them to corps HQs. Then I come back the next turn and all of them have been reassigned to the theater level HG, AFHQ in Italy and SHAEF in England. I can't figure out how to prevent this. The rules say that, if you have an HQ's priority set...

Re: Can't Figure Out Air Range Rules

I got the game far enough along that new aircraft models (P-47D-15 and P-38J) and new, larger drop tanks are available, and these make a bigger difference. I still don't think they add as much range as the load out information says they should, but it at least makes them useful. Maybe something abou...

Re: Can't Figure Out Air Range Rules

I think the zip file option worked.

Re: Can't Figure Out Air Range Rules

I have a save, but it saying that it's an invalid file extension to attach to a post.

Thanks.

Re: Can't Figure Out Air Range Rules

I can't find anything in the rules about extending range through staging. In WitW, a staging base is just where the groups assemble in the air before flying a mission, Even if there were such an option, it wouldn't apply here, since the group is already based just about as close to the North Sea as ...

Re: Can't Figure Out Air Range Rules

New post, since I hit the size limit. This shot shows an allowable mission with drop tanks. It is now allowing this two hexes to the east, which it was not doing before. I have no idea what I did differently: 05 Allowable Superiority Mission - With Tanks.png Lastly, this is the same mission with dro...

Re: Can't Figure Out Air Range Rules

All of these shots are for the 4th USAAF FB Group, based at Martlesham Heath (87,172), flying P-47D-5 Thunderbolts on 3-hex radius Superiority missions into the Netherlands. First up is a shot of the range radii without drop tanks: 01 Range - No Tanks.png Next is a shot of the radii with drop tanks....

Can't Figure Out Air Range Rules

I'm trying to plan air missions, and it simply doesn't make sense. The system of fighter ranges seems to be full of glitches. 1) There are a lot of times that it says Out of Range when I try to fly escorts but I can fly Superiority missions that cover the same area. I'd think this would be do to the...
