Purpose of Leaders in Fronts and STAVKA?

If most of the checks are made by Army leaders, is there a good reason to put good generals in charge of fronts or STAVKA? What checks are made at these levels?

Changing production

I see you can't change production. Manual states that was a decision made to save development time. Any ideas when .1 version or mod will be available allowing you to change production?

German opponent wanted for wir 3.3 41 scenario

<t> I'm looking for a German opponent for a 41 scenario using WIR 3.3. I have only played 2 PBEM games before, but I think I can hold my own. I can manage a turn most days, sometimes two turns on the weekends.<br/>

I like to play with the following rules:<br/>

South Front Shattering on turn 3.

<br/>
I agree that the south front shattering on turn 3 of our game is not appropriate. I believe this happens during my turn??? So, I will replay turn two and send it to you.<br/>

Does anyone know if this is a bug common to all version 3.2 games? I have read that PBEM games ...

I-15 factories convert to Hurricanes?

<t>I have always changed production manually on the first few turns of the 1941 scenario, so I have never observed the computer upgrades.

special supply and ops points

<r><QUOTE author="RickyB"><s>[QUOTE=RickyB]</s>No, I believe that it is strictly a function of the total ops points.
