Re: no fortification reduction

It is hard to tell what is going on there but I would suggest checking the fatigue level of the army. If your action points are down into the 60's they are probably fairly heavily fatigued and need to rest.

One thing for sure that I can see from your screen shot is that 4PG Commander is in the ...

Re: Where are Rail and truck reports?

To see the number of trucks and trains you have, you need to open the "Stats" tab, then click on "Regime Statistics" and then you have a list of stats which include trucks and trains. You will also find "fuel" and "partisans" on that list and they are also quite important and trucks, trains, fuel ...

Re: Imgur pictures being erased ! Forum archives ?

Yep, it was an example.

The recommendation I would give for folks is to use the attachments feature to upload photos directly to your post and bin 3rd party hosting.

In the end, your going to have to pay to maintain photos elsewhere.

The same thing happened to Photobucket. So it shouldn't be a surprise.

Here is the thing... if you want your images to hang around you need to directly upload your images to the post. Using image hosting services, as we have seen with Photobucket and now Imgur, eventually slip away into oblivion ...

Re: The Strategic Challenge of China

The great majority of problems could have been solved 20 years ago if we hadn't let the Chinese suck all the industry out of the West.

I saw somewhere that said, potentially, China has the industrial war capacity 5 times greater than the US during WW2.

You didn't have to be an intelligence officer ...

Re: Partisans: How to reduce?

The short answer is no.

Security battalions will be created in some major cities as your army advances. Over time they will become more effective at controlling partisans. So the more terrain you take, the more likely the partisans will increase. This, of course, will disrupt your trains and ...

Re: Fuel allocation by Army Group: How to change?

There is a decision to change fuel allocations. The increase in one theater effects the amount of fuel received in the other two theaters.

You get the chance to make that change one time.

Re: Model making advice


I'd love to start building kits. Now it's not so much the building of the kit but the painting I really worry about. Can good work be learnt or do you have to have an inbuilt talent?

Also what make kits do you recommend? Paints? Books? Other necessary items?

"must have a current and active Secret clearance, with the ability to obtain a TS/SCI"


There going to have to do an investigation anyway as it is pretty clear that the person is going to need a TS/SCI clearance.

Why not just ask for someone who has, at one time, had a TS/SCI clearance?

DL the game from Steam.

When you start the game you get a pop up with the product code.

Have no idea why a product that is available and bought from Steam requires an activation key.
