How to send planes to National Reserve?

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.

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).

How to send planes to National Reserve?

Post by loutro »

I am using the latest version of the game and am having serious issues figuring out how to send aircraft to the national reserve.

I am using the Commanders Report and the Air Groups tab. I sort by fatigue. How do I set parameters so I can only show fatigue above a certain %?

I want to send a unit to the reserve,
clicking on the Unit Name gives me nothing,
clicking on the Air base shows me all planes there

If I click on Reserve, as shown in the image...I can send ALL the units, but I don't want to send ALL the units, only the first two, and I don't get any confirmation that any units were sent to the reserve

How does this work? With all the documentation for this game, there seems to be a real lack of step by step on how to do things

Thanks

The method you are using is for the mass movement of groups to the reserve. Unfortunately there's now way to filter via fatigue as you want to do.

What you need to do is click on the air group name and then select the word RESERVE on middle right of the group window and say YES. This transfers it and takes you back the airbase screen but pressing the c key will take you back to the commanders report.

There's lots about thow to do it in the unoffial manual specically 8.4.2.

There's no need to send them to the reserve if you don't want them to fly. You can set the group range (GR) to 1 in the commanders report,

As mentioned above, the easiest way to manage this is to disallow all flights at the beginning of the turn and then turn "on" groups by setting range to 0, or unlimited, denoted by *. To select an individual unit from commander report, clicking the unit name will take you to the unit, as you've seen. You can use my macros to make this a bit faster if you want (contact me if you want help setting this up). Generally it's better to leave fighter groups on-map, even if you take them to a rear airbase to rest. The exception would be to recover morale if you've taken heavy losses, as rotation to national reserve helps with this.

thanks guys.

My confusion arose as I was looking at this at the end of the turn. I see that you need 0% movement used to move to the reserve.
