we had the same problem in a PBEM game recently. It also showed up after perhaps eight turns of playing. The solution was, that the HQs with zero OP point/Replacement level need a KORPS attached to them. Just divisions or ...

Do these HQs have divisions or other HQs assigned to them? There is a known problem with HQs getting 0 OPs because nothing is assigned to them. It may be just divisions, not HQs that matter, can't remember.</B><HR>[hr ...

<t>Hi <br/>
<br/>
In my 1941 game as Soviet, it's now July 12, 1942 and I recently began experiencing problems with my HQ replacement levels (from July 5 onward). Of the 25 HQs, something like 16 start each new week at replacement level zero (and therefore zero OPs), even though I've set them from ...

He didn't. Operation Market-Garden later in '44 stripped those supplies from him. The supply problem was bad because of transportation. With every truck pressed into service, they couldn't get supplies to Patton's forces from the ...

"About 400 tanks of 2nd SS Pz Corps succeeded in penetrating to Prokhorovka... Rotmistrov, the commander of 5th Guards Tank Army, received 2 extra tank corps to reinforce ...

<t>Shortly after my 1st catastrophic PBEM German game of 1941, I ran a little test to see how bad the blizzards really were. Playing both sides human, I deployed a panzer corps of 3 panzer, 2 motorized, 1 SS motorized, 1 art and 1 flak divisions into a swamp hex west of Minsk. This corps was in ...

<t>While I'm in favor of as much historical accuracy as is feasible in a computer simulation, I tend to agree that using mule HQs for special supply is no more criminal than Patton's getting the lion's share of logistics during 1944. For the Germans, due to their relative scarcity of HQs, there are ...

Soviet forces have liberated Vilna and thrown the Germans out of Minsk. German resistance is tougher in the south but they were unable to defend their Dnepr river positions and many powerful armies have established bridgeheads over the great river obstacle! <br/>

Despite desperate and ever weakening counterattacks, our glorious armies continue to storm westward on all fronts. Kaunas has been liberated and soon the rest of Belorussia will be cleared. Only the Luftwaffe remains a nuisance, but the Red Air Force grows stronger with ...

The valiant Soviet attack has carried our glorious armies across the Dvina and Dnepr rivers. In the north, strong forces are ready to liberate Lithuania and the western Belorussia. In the south, we are preparing to liberate Zhitomir from the fascists. Zhukov has informed Stalin ...

The mud season is over and summer is upon us. Despite fanatical German resistance, Soviet forces have liberated Kiev and Dnepropetrovsk; they are also crossing the Dniepr River in strength. In Belorussia, our glorious spearheads are within striking range of Minsk! Glory glory ...

The problem is, losses are computed from the actual combat value and deducted from the reduced combat value. If the German target unit has used special supply to get a high combat value, many times the losses exceed the actual ...

With the onset of the spring thaw, Stalin has given his elite troops a well-deserved vacation - a state-sponsored trip to the beach on the Caspian Sea!

<t>Seems to me we have some kind of consensus on infantry divisions in Pz corps which plot 5 hexes. What does everyone think/feel about using panzer brigades, armored battalions (Stug, Jpz etc) and artillery/flak inside panzer corps? I've been on the receiving end of several of these 1 battalion ...
