Hi. Where from a technology support and AI opponent perspective does this release sit compared to the original WEGO Desert War? That was first published back in 2018, so 7+ years ago. The Stalingrad game came out in early 2022. So, is the engine/guys of this still the same as it was in 2018 or even ...

Hi kentkroeckel - thanks for the reply. Ok, I think I can look that up in the manual now, but I was also wondering why they show up in my territory during the air phase execution? Is it perhaps that the Axis is performing Ground Attacks on those locations and some degree of damage and/or ...

Hi all. Firing up the ol' WiTW bad boy after a while. Re-reading everything is sight to try and get back to the at-best novice level I was at last time I played :)

I am starting off with Breakout and Pursuit again, and wanted to ask something that I have always wondered...As the WA I am running the ...

I've been away from the PC for a week or so, but these are great posts! Feel free to hijack further :)

Did you do the sort of things Loki talked about with regards to disrupting the Axis stack in target hex specifically, during the air phase, and that disruption led to you being able to get a 3:1 ...

Great stuff!

Thanks Zovs!

Thanks Loki - really helpful additional info.

And for Artillery Support, can this come from up to 5 hexes away as well, or does the Corps (or other HHQ) have to be immediately adjacent to the stack it is supporting?

In Breakout and Pursuit I am playing Allies and have managed to punch back the ...

Yep that does make sense...I have just been playing around and I think stumbled upon your suggestion - going the other way looks like it does work, just a little more painstaking :) And I just found that bit on the manual (on like page 255 or something) that says you can do it that way. No mention ...

Hi all.

Got a spot of COVID iso happening so thought I'd pick up WITW after about 18 months of not playing. Questions abound for stuff I've forgotten and/or never really understood in the first place, but one perplexing one at the moment is that, while playing Breakout I can see all these heavy ...

Yeah I was getting the 'not enough transports' message as I suspect they were still set to 'Rest'...

Excellent description - thanks!

While bits of the air war show WiTE as the root, mostly its very new. There are three clusters of land bombing missions:<br/>

Ground Support<br/>
Ground Attack<br ...

<r> Thanks Cary.<br/>
<br/>
Great answers, thanks...The only follow up I can think of is in regard to your response to question 2.<br/>
<br/>
So how do the transports get assigned? Your answer suggests the AI does it automatically? Buy you also said to press the Drop button and experiment with ...

<t> Ok, so back on this general topic but this time from an air assault perspective.<br/>
<br/>
In Breakout and Pursuit I started pushing through the German lines to the east of the British/Canadian sector and wheeled north after punching through with American armor to Reims. I could see a route ...

<t> Yep all great points re using Armor in its 'cavalry' function rather than actual assault, but at some point you are likely (as I have in Breakout and Pursuit) to have shrunk his front to the point where there is a greater concentration of decent stacks, including a fair bit of armor. Given that ...

Hi all.

Is it a good idea to attack armor=heavy enemy stacks with armor units?

Is is worthwhile attacking enemy inf heavy stacks, at least those not with some degree of fort, with armor?

<r> Ok, getting the hang of this now...But more questions <E>:)</E><br/>
<br/>
1. What is the best use of SP Art battalions?<br/>
2. Do you assign out the Art battalions in order of bore size - i.e. give out all the 240mm units down to Corps first, then move to the 8in units, then the 155's, etc ...

<t> Cary I feel there is a game mechanic I am missing/not understanding (yeah, add it to the list...) when you say "...then switch them back to Air/Night during the ground phase." Is there a place/way to create air missions during the ground movement phase of a given turn? Of course I do realise ...

<t> Loved the face-slap comment - that is indeed the case in that they were set to 'Rest'.<br/>
<br/>
But the training % => 0 is a good one to watch out for all over the place. Is there an implication regarding upgrades to air units if you have training set to 0% - i.e., would that prevent an air ...

Hi Cary.

1. I'll check...What is the impact in terms of Air Transport (and not air assault)?
2. Hence no, not an air assault, just moving them from UK to friendly territory in France.

<r> All the advice is combining with the re-read of the manual to help that be a lot more understandable now, ans I am sure you expected it to be for me Gunnulf <E>:)</E><br/>
<br/>
Did any of you utilise the Airborne div's sitting in England in the Breakout scenario? I am trying to have a play ...
