I am finding in late 1942 that the Red Army is already hand-to-mouth on Heavy Artillery (152 ML-20), and in Artillery (122mm), so finding a bunch more for Artillery Division is impractical, and will be robbing from Rifle and Army Artillery units.

How many Artillery(all) Regiments do you have ...

Game over.

I've been halted with 10+ million casualties at the end of 1943 and just don't have the desire to continue with this.

Thanks to everyone who invested time reading and commenting in the AAR.


Fantastic AAR with insight into the VVS! Would be interested to see your end-point ...

Another factor on Rocket vs. Artillery On-Map units is equipment availability; I think that's the deciding factor

Thanks, answers the question!

One more: It's November 1942. Why can't I make a Guard Tank Corps? Do I have to wait to December, or am I doing something wrong here? As you can see, selecting 2 Gds Tank Brigades.....

The Soviet Corps Caps in 1942 are 26 for Tank Corps, 10 for Mech Corps, 14 for Cav Corps, and 41 for Rifle Corps


What are they in 1943? and 1944?

Thanks!

Wiedrock, that Artilley table is very helpful! It confirms what I've been doing anyway just by "eyeballing" the TOEs.

Mortar Bn are also great; 36 tubers, very little support elements, and Mortars do alot of damage. I think the Red Army should build as many as 120mm Mortar production can support ...

I'm increasingly of the opinion that all Flak builds are a waste of time. There's enough organic flak in Rifle and other formations to do some damage, and it's not worth the vehicles to attach more to individual units. The non-motorized flak units, like PVO, can only be attached to HQs; that's fine ...

Week 109 18 July 1943


In the south, the advance resumes towards the Crimea. One particular Soviet attack against a swamp hex finds the Totenkopf SS Division in stealth mode (unable to identify unit type) and pays a heavy price.

Ouch!


Bah, that's ...

I hope this AAR is continuting! Any updates?

As far as the SOUTH, looking at that, I don't have too many good ideas on what I would be doing, but I would definitely not be trying to slug it out with German infantry on clear terrain.

I think in the South, against a Panzer ball like that, the best strategy is to retreat enough that the German ...

This is a very interesting strategy, particularly in the North. I can't help but ask myself, what would I do as Soviets if I saw this?

First, a decent Soviet player IMO needs to track all Panzer formations. By T4, it should be obvious without even having to run recon that all of PzGp 3 and 4 are ...

We are playing the GC, are in July 1942, and I still have the GD as a regiment. It sat idle for quite a while, having been in refit at the end of the winter, and I saw no dates anywhere on when it would convert to a division. Q-Ball kindly indicated that I needed to put it to refit mode (from ...

Very interesting and promising report. I will follow this with interest to see how this will play out.

One question please: You have written that the match is on turn 13. Is there any way in a server game to go back and reload the turns to make the screenshots, or have the screenshots been made ...

Routing direction.

Hi, I'm trying to pocket as many bolchevicks as possible and place some of my units to block some retreat/routing paths.

However routing units do not seem to care: they jump anywhere they want.. despite units blocking their eastward paths for instance..

Is it normal and if ...

In the GC 1941 as Axis on Turn 1 I can not relocate Air Groups from the theather boxes towards the map. I can only relocate Air Groups between the theather boxes. An Infantry Division I can relocate towards the map from the theather box.

Do I miss something, or is this a bug?


You don't "push ...

Another question! What's the best use of CONSTRUCTION units?

I'm very familiar with direct attachment to cities and Fort Zones.

For entrenching....my understanding is they help units entrench, but how does that work?

If you put them at the Corps/Army level, I know they will help ONLY units in ...

Is there an upside to Disbanding a Depot that you know is about to be overrun? Do you save some trucks and/or supplies? Or does it not really matter either way?

Question on fortifications: they cost 4 APs to build for the Axis and are great to improve positions not adjacent to the Russians.

Once at level 3, do they bring material benefits during a battle or is it better to disband them and avoid dipping into the limited number available throughout the ...

Quick question: What happens when an isolated unit is scheduled to Withdraw?

Is the withdrawl delayed? Or does that unit "Cheat the Hangman?"
