I think.
1. there is a rule they won't work next to the manually controlled FBD.
2. To me they seem to pick a route then follow it. - annoying when the route leads to a dead end with no value.
3. How they choose.
Experiment with attaching to a lower level HQ. remember the max ranges, but with any ...

imgur (I presume) not visible in the UK.

yes.

Playing Russia I am finding that the Germans are making unforced errors by leaving important and fortified towns empty at the end of their turn.
Even important production centres / towns with L3 fortifications can suddenly be empty. Even putting a few low value units in them would hinder the soviet ...

And if I dont have any Superioity Directives at all, what else will bring my fighters up to the slaughter?


If I understand correctly, the problem is that your fighters auto-intercept too much during the air phase?
The solution to that would be to reduce the "Mission AC Pct" for AS.
Like ...

I know, but on the higher levels they demand more supply from further and further away.
so your chance of having any spare reduce.

are your units in combat in the enemy turn, do they get an ammo resupply after a combat?
Have you tried turning down the priority of your units.
I found it difficult to keep depots topped up in a previous game, but if you set your unit priority down, I think they are less insistant, don't burn ...

It seems to me the following:

If there is combat in your hex, then any planes nearby will come out to play.

If you turn off air support, and put all planes at rest that might stop interceptions in the area.

But If any air forces have units doing an air mission in the area, then they are likely to ...

There are a number of real military resources.
Have a google for army field manuals. america has put many of them online.
or the 7 Questions (British).
Basically:
What is the situation and how does it affect me?
What have I been told to do and why?
What effects do I need to achieve and what ...

I have started to write a c # application to load the exported files into an application.
(WITE2).



My initial screen shows the HQ and its subordinates.

Clicking on an HQ in that list will give its subordinates.
My initial aims:

1. to identify HQ and its underlings.
2. To easily see the sub ...

thanks to both of you, some of the options have helped enough to look at.
Will try to rtfm.

If you did this again, and have cargo ships, I would set the priority of the port to 4. and a source port to 3 or 2.
If supply can only go to a higher priority destination, and your source port is 2, will it supply a dest 2 port.
I imagine you would want top priority there.

Hi, I am a new user, but:
I have tried to start a couple of scenario.
I have a real problem with the lag on selecting something (eg airbase)

I am happy for a delay reading a message in combat etc, but I can't live with what seems like a second or a second and a half delay after selecting anything ...

Have you tried a night few missions as russian to engage the LW.
Try to exhaust them before your main attack goes in.

Thanks, will have another try.

PS have you read Black cross Red Star.
5 volumes I think on air war in Russia.
Have bought some more as bought one years ago. The new reprint series is in great detail and with great photos.

Thanks again.
I wanted to keep all trained pilots for fighters, and have bomber units train novices in the pool, so I would have trained pilots for fighters when the squadron size changes.
I guess I just have to live with not adding pilots to those units until after the size change, but I will ...

Thanks, that is very interesting, a few questions....

Does sending an air unit with pilots but no (or not enough ) planes still delete any pilots without planes?
Happy to take the xp averaging, but if it deletes 90% of my pilots that is a problem.

Is it possible to configure units in the reserve ...

Not an expert in this by any means, but, my thoughts.
4k vehicles seems very low in the pool, mine I think is about 14 K and I think that is very low.
It doens't give a lot of vehicles to move around to replace damaged vehicles.
you might want to try to get that up.

Are your units in that combat ...

I am playing soviets starting at Stalingrad.
I am currently trying to build up an air force.
I would like to have fighters get trained pilots, bombers only normal, or train untrained in the pool.

I am constantly short of pilots. I know I need to stop the dramatic loss in interceptions / combat ...
