Is Support Level still needed

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

Is Support Level still needed

Post by Chris21wen »

While carrying out my morning ablutions I gave the support system some thought. I beleive the initial concept of being able set how many support units an HQ could receive was use to give control over how many units the automatic support system gave to any HQ. Locking simply prevented the movement full stop. This in turn relieved the huge pressure on AP usage to move support units manually. It worked OK but is frustrating at times.

In the latest Beta movement of support units down the chain of command is free (rightly so in my opinion) so drastically reducing AP use to move support units manually. In so doing you have removed the prime reason for the automatic movement of support units.

This brings me to the movement of engineers/contruction units. We all know that they will move even if an HQ is set to zero which has lead to some even more frustrating times on my part. I never like this ability and for the same reason as above I think this is also no longer needed.

There is one place where I do think automatic support movement is valid and that is the movement of AA units to cities.

Please discuss.
