Well, first of all the 50 men / squad in the game is an abstraction, and as such cannot be and is not even meant to be totally accurate... Secondly, we can presume that 'casualties' also includes the amount of the more or less wounded and paralysed ...

"Losses are too high" is the wrong state of mind for playing a game such as this. Onwards, onwards, more men to the meatgrinder!

50, as you said. It's an abstraction to make the losses and division total manpower more realistic.

Does anyone know the truth on the stacking points? I've always operated under what the manual claims, which is more often than not woefully inaccurate.

I will be very very angry if someone doesn't point out this URL at once!

My God, I think we're witnessing some sort of a Pavlov phenomenon in effect - my heartbeat rate has gone up tremendously and I'm eagerly pondering the possibilities even as saliva forms in my mouth!

Or to put it another way, bloody good job and congrats to Arnaud and his test team.

<t>What really bothers me is the accuracy of counter-battery firing in arty bombardment missions...<br/>
It's not in the least bit amusing when I fire at a Corps which has just moved and destroy 10 arty pieces and kill, say, 500 men, when they destroy 25 arty pieces and 900 men. Considering that it ...

<r>I realise it's a bit stereotypical to put one's best SS Panzer/Panzergrenadier divisions and heavy tank battalions into an SS Panzer Korps, but when amassing the most formidable collection of powerful units, what else would you use? <E>:D</E> <br/>
I generally keep mine right away from the ...

Whaaat the devil?

Now, I don't wish to sound greedy, but I don't suppose you could reveal a bit as to what's to be new/improved in WiR 3.3?

<r>Oh, wow, the Western Front 1944 requirements in particular are crushing... My poor Greater Germanic Reich will never be able to amass that kind of power to waste on guard duty. <E>:(</E> <E>;)</E> <E>:D</E><br/>

Someone should gather a FAQ on these puzzling questions in regards to the game ...

<r>I tested this once, and if it had a real effect on the appearance date, Gods only know.<br/>
I faintly remember the manual saying that for every 100 "units" it would supposedly build that craft, it would appear 1 week(=turn) earlier.<br/>
Of course, since the factories don't actually grow if they ...

Oh my God, this thread is cruel stuff to read!

I'm fairly certain there is indeed a limit, at 85 or so units...Could be 80.

<t>Perhaps we could implement an optional rule... If the Germans manage to destroy X amount of squads prior to the snow falling and manage to capture and hold, say, Moscow prior to and up to date Y, the Finns see German victory as "inevitable" and decide to take a piece of the cake for themselves ...

<r>I decided to run a test of the campaign the same way I test how new versions of WIR affect gameplay, namely the computer vs. computer, no delay, no detail test. Whilst the computer generally does a poor job as the German, this does give a relative comparison as how the two sides fare per version ...

<t>One should always take the air losses with a grain of salt as the planes tend to, especially prior to the arrival of the craft armed with plenty of cannons, just be damaged and thus be only superficially lost... This is incidentally where the early German planes have the true advantage in the ...
