Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!

Over 5000 85mm guns with nowhere to go. :| On further research I would modify my advice for Soviet AA SU's and not attach them "liberally" to HQ's. Per Joel and Wiedrock only those AA SU's attached directly to combat units will commit to ground battles. Those attached to HQ's won't commit,...

Veteran frontovik seeking Axis player with person-to-person experience for GC41 Full FOW No Enhanced Player TB Control (Not against it in principle, it's just a different game!)

I can't afford the vehicle commitment. They are better employed in other support units. AA is very spotty in term of effectiveness, and yes I've had similar flak kill numbers, without a single AA support unit. I'm curious, in your current game at T93 how many 85mm AA are in the pool? At that point ...

Comrades! What is the best use of AA attachments? Are AA units worth devoting manpower/trucks to get on the map at scale, or no? I feel like they need to be high experience to have an impact on the LW, but German Flak is certainly effective Thoughts on this? Turn 86 2/7/43 is the turning point for ...

What about ASSAULT ENGINEERS? Sees like they should be attached to every RIFLE CORPS for fort busting (once they are available) If only that were possible! Assault Engineers are great for reducing fortifications but their Build Limit is 24. They're available starting May, 1943. Use them heavily wit...

Combat Delay Effects - Reduced. This is a major boon to the Soviets. The reason for using it is that without it there is the possibility that Axis have a major advantage in '42 and can win the game by 'grinding'. So no strategic manoeuvre required, just lots of frontal attacks that will trash enoug...

There are something over 20 corps built, but not to the limit. The 42b Tank Corps with only 72 T-34s authorized is certainly not able to take many losses without being effective. That said, waiting for November 1943 seems a bit late to wait for them to make a contribution. Agree, I wouldn't suggest...

So as long as I can build T-34 equipped brigades that have more tanks with the same armor penetration values than a KV heavy regiment and can eventually become guards, that lead to corps, that is my priority. I have found the KV-1 (not so much the KV-1s) to be very survivable when used in Heavy Tan...

An excellent, hard-fought campaign and AAR! Thank you!! It was not too much different than my current game that is now at turn 110. So now come the inevitable questions... As this game matched two advanced players resulting in a decisive Axis victory, what is your sense of the overall game balance? ...

HQ's don't have a "REFIT" option on the main screen so go to the Unit tab in the CR and set its status to Refit. That should get its %Toe up close to 100% in one or two turns.

Week 56 Air Operations VVS ground attacks generate Axis losses of 4,885 men and 67 guns. 11 FFBs and 14 IL-2s are lost. 2,829 bomber sorties were launched accompanied by 1,531 fighter sorties. 27 IL-2 regiments participated in ground attacks this week. https://i.imgur.com/Y5jtuJr.jpg https://i.imgu...

I've been waiting for the beta to become the official version to start another 41 campaign. In my 56 years of wargaming, I've found none finer than WitE2. A sincere thank you to all responsible for this masterpiece gaming experience. Ditto here! The best wargame I've ever played, about the greatest...

A stirring and well-written tribute to the noble but doomed Leningrad defenders. David Glantz would be proud!

I then use the Commanders Report to assign extra fighter pilots to the SRP formations which can be used later to disband and distribute the experienced pilots from the Free Pool. Have you considered retraining some of these extra fighters as bombers? Manual section 30.10.6 suggests bomber loadouts ...

I think I've caught up to the notes left here and I've added them to the living manual for when the next update goes out later this summer. If you have any additional notes for the living manual, please continue to post them here. Thanks. I looked further into the Editor and found one more change t...

Auto (2). It looks like the displayed number of aircraft flown is actually the # aircraft times the number of strikes over the course of the air phase.

Set your directive to fly 2 planes a day for 7 days over your target. Your planes are often ignored. Thanks M60, I followed your advice and it seems my Recon losses were reduced. However, more than 2 Recon aircraft are being flown per mission (4 to 6 aircraft is typical). I had set the Min AC per a...
