I've mentioned this before as another symptom of the general lack of chrome. There's no fuss when an Axis minor surrenders; you find out by accident, as you note. It's not a huge deal, but it's a shame .

Check out p. 290 of the manual. No mud turns in June '41, so you won't grind to a halt at the border, but you've got a ~ 6-7% chance of a mud turn in July. There's a caveat (see p. 289) - there will be at most one mud turn per weather zone 19th June - 30th September.

<t> Well, I guess there aren't many experts out there yet. I'm on my fourth GC as the Soviets, just turning the corner against a hard AI. I think the Axis have to focus on casualties in '41. I just don't see territory as being that big a deal. There's key industrial locations (Leningrad, Kharkov ...

<t> Well, as someone who mostly plays Soviets, I've got more APs than I know what to do with by the end of '42. I think it's working well - the Red Army was disorganised and punching below its weight due to (amongst other things) poor command structures and organisations. <br/>

Very useful, both for orientation and planning. Thanks for putting the effort in!

It's a proper Windows application, unlike many games. So sure. That said, I run it maximised and auto-hide the Windows 7 taskbar, so it feels like a fullscreen app.

Hmm, so not reproducable? Fair enough, it was only a curiosity. Thanks for looking at the issue, I appreciate it.

Per my post in the main forum...here's a Soviet save.

<t> One point on the terrain value of cities, one of the problems in terms of AI programming is that, unlike Hitler, I'm never going to directly attack an urban hex. I'll just pocket it, wait a turn or two, and then shovel up the remains.<br/>

<r> Soviet separate tank battalions upgrade to tank regiments in September '42 (gives you 39 afvs per regiment split 23 medium/16 light). They further upgrade to a full complement of 41 T34s in April 1944 (with intermediate steps along the way). That's roughly 2/3 of a tank brigade.<br/>

I can dig out the details on unit composition from the various .csv files, but it's not immediately clear how the organic vehicle count is calculated. Any dev/test type folk able to enlighten me, please?

<r> 1. I put 'em with the fronts, when I'm on the offense, but in '41 construction units are useful with corps/armies - that's as the Soviets of course. Dig early, dig often is the motto.<br/>

2. Nope, other than the remfs in the Urals/Volga etc.<br/>

You'll be able to build them once the patch is out.

<t> There are limits to what can be directly attached. For (say) Soviet Rifle Corps, you can attach a tank battalion or a sapper regiment, but not an artillery regiment. <br/>

It's also lacking in flexibility (having said that, I'm not terribly impressed with the flow of support units - I ...
