Overloading at Army group level

For German player: As there are four levels of command for the Germans, does it really matter if you overload your army groups or even armies? Especially on defense, when you do not use Assault groups. I know Assault groups don't work if you overload. If you have good leaders at Corps level at each ...

Re: Manpower and pool


It's not a disaster that you built a bunch of Naval Infantry Brigades, but you may later want to disband some for Manpower. As you say they are useful units in 1941/42, and are useful in attack as SU Attachments (they are multi-role)

Rifle Brigades, however, are a better option; they are about ...

Re: Manpower and pool


Not sure how lethal a unit is but when it comes to support units eg mortars, artillery, AA etc you can look at how many 'men' per gun, and for that matter trucks. In general build non motorised SUs to save on trucks where possible.

Re: Manpower and pool


Your guess is correct, Equipments and Men are combined only once arriving inside a Division/Unit.


Thanks. I’ve been drafting a lot of naval infantry brigades lately, since there were plenty of naval infantry squads available in the pool. However, that might not be the most efficient use of ...

Manpower and pool

Question: If I have a thousand naval infantry squads in the pool, does that mean the pool contains only the equipment (sailor hats, etc.) for a thousand squads, or both the equipment and the personnel for a thousand squads? In other words, is manpower already included in this pool? I assume it isn’t ...

Re: Anyone here play solitaire (both sides Human-controlled)?

I play both sides. AI begins to be very predictable after couple of runs and finding time to play with someone is too hard for me. I find lots of fun in playing both sides by using house rules and randomness. I decide before the campaign what random goals each side has (OKH/Stavka level). Then each ...
