That explains that. Apparently the performance of Type 93 torpedoes in action up to that time (Java Sea) was not that impressive. Somebody figured it out: something of the order of ...

Looks like now this is going to be a bit like WW1.

With the shorter front lines do you guys find turns take less time or is it still a massive effort to get through that number of units?

The front line is considerably shorter, especially with all those lakes and inlets.

Looks like your troops in the Ostrowiec Pocket ( southeast cornerpic) are pretty much done for as there is no road leading out of it.

Once the Mud Season starts are you planning a retreat to the Oder?

On reading the AAR it's hard to say. Larry did better than the Germans historically (he captured Leningrad) but his losses were severe. Without any idea of what Soviet losses were like we're a bit in the dark.

RETREAT TO THE ODER! RUN LIKE THE WIND!

Wow... that's about 50% of your HSR's destroyed in 20 turns or so.

I don't suppose that range thingy can be set to display the range of the shortest indirect gun rather than the longest?

Hmmm, I suspected as much and indeed it does change things!

However on the detailed combat report the guns which didn't fire still show up as having taken part. That's what had me confused.

<t> Hey guys,<br/>
<br/>
you know when you have an artillery unit with several different pieces of equipment all with different ranges, AFAIK the range displayed on the unit is that of the longest range gun. So the Q is - when you give the unit a fire mission - do all the pieces fire, or only ...

Eisenhower wasn't looking at sprites and neither was Rommel. Rather, looking at maps with MILITARY SYMBOLS representing the units.

How can an artillery peice or vehicle desert? In those cases, it must model abandonment due to lack of ammo or fuel.

More likely because of the crew deserting. But as I said, it has the same effect so is not really worth arguing over. <br ...

Are you sure that this is due to supply being at 1% and not because the unit has lost some trucks or horses?

yes. I loaded units into the editor and simply changed the supply levels. The Mvt. pts. went up and ...

looks like mvt. pts. are reduced. Not by very much, but they are reduced nonetheless. The effect just has to be made greater for ...

<r> On doing some basic playing around with the game it seems as if movement penalties approximate a 40% reduction between a fully supplied unit and one at 1 supply & 33 readiness. This is probably not quite harsh enough (the fact that the unit still retains significant combat capabilities is ...

That's a entry in Wikipedia, I was talking about a wiki for TOAW (think a specialty TOAW encyclopedia).

<r> I hate to come to this discussion late and especially since I don't really have any idea what I'm talking about but I had always assumed that the % number of supply that shows up in a unit screen (i.e.: 1% or 90% or 150%) represented how much supply the unit has <I><s>[i]</s>on hand<e>[/i]</e ...
