I'm sorry for the format, PDF is the only file type I am able to upload. But I created a list about a year and a half ago, maybe someone needs it.

Some suggestions to fix them:
1. Reduce building limits of rifle brigades.
2. Enforce building limits after they get reduced as the time progresses.
3. Limit the amount brigades/support units in general that can be directly assigned to Rifle Corps to 1.
4. Add stacking penalties for assigned suport ...

This is the 43 campaign, what could I do to prevent this for future games?

Play the 41 campaign, it won't happen there.

You don't pay a premium for building them yourself. Look it up, it's in the manual. IIRC AI costs 10 AP and will build 10 depots. You can build them wherever you need them without disbanding the ones back in the line. AI management should never be used.

Learned something today. Thank you so much for explaning this.

Really good news about the next update. Well done Joel.

The event for the 2nd Polish Army cant be triggered before January 1st 1943, both in the early end as well as the no early end campaign.

Do you have an opinion yet about the new option for reduced retreat losses? Are there still 100 % losses after a follow up attack?

First of all: welcome here!

When I was in your position, I started playing as soviets in the Grand Campaign against normal AI, setting it to challenging shortly after because I like to suffer. I focussed on the ground war, having read the manual thoroughly once and then looking at important ...

Haven't look too far into this, but I just assume it's depots being built in these locations.

According to the manual:

25.7.2. Creating Depots
Players can create a depot in a town, city, urban or airfield hex (in each case these must be on a rail line), or any other hex just containing a rail ...

Why even does undamaged equipment go into the transit pool in the first place and not into the active pool?

I'm pretty sure I did not displace 50 HQs, maybe 20 at max

15% of 20 means you'd assume to lose/kill 3. The list shows 4. So if your guessed 20 displacements are correct, the 15% the Devs chose as an chance I could imagine to see in this example.


The 20/50 HQ discussion referred to ...

I'm not sure how the game calculates the odds for tripple stacked HQs, I often felt like I would kill all three leaders there.

As it was a server game, I cannot access the older turns and my memory isn't the best. There certainly were some issues with HQ placements, but most german leaders died ...

Very good post. There is little left to add for me as it covers all the experiences I made too.

In my game vs. Stephan Guderian got a heart attack as of turn 2! I'm glad, this game was PBEM so we were able to redo the logistics phase as for a server game that would be a serious issue for the whole ...

Thanks to both of you!
The game took place over a two-month duration, allowing us to maintain an impressive average of 2.3 turns per day, with turns taking approximately 1-2 hours each.

Early during the game I tried to plan larger operations preparing my units and mobile units to go for pockets, by ...

This is the result of a slightly modded PVP server game of me as soviets versus David as axis. Only modification was Germany receiving five additional Infantry divisions around turn 20 for the winter war and leader end dates were set to 1945 as I thought this might stop heart attacks (it didn't ...

@Joel. Beethoven is referring to the 1941 no early end campaign by me (CaedusS) vs. Robi151. It's a server game, feel free to take a look.

1. The Game Events do not cover all the game elements, such as:

Oil Pool,
Resource Pool,
Fuel Pool,
...

Currently, it only covers PoP Pool. Would like to see these others added.

+1 on that. Would be really cool if we could reward players to capture cities early/ defending them longer with ...

This part is one of the most enjoyable in the manual.

Perfect example of better not diving to deep into the manual to not question your understanding of the game.

Dear all,

I took a deep dive into the manual to understand and summarize which parts of the game are influenced by leaders stats. In brackets you can find the corresponding section of the manual to easily find the sources of information.
I hope this helps newer and experienced players as well ...
