Why is movement cut down when Division is split up?

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).

Why is movement cut down when Division is split up?

Post by Novaliz »

I have a case where my division can travel further than the individual Brigades when broken down? Why is it? The movepoints are still the same. Division has 16 and each individual Brigade 16 too? Any help? The X is the farthest destination!

its because the movement cost of a Division moving through enemy territory is less than that for Regiments.

Brigades and regiments have MP penalties when moving through enemy territory as per last item on the Tactical Movement Points chart (14.1.5 in the Updated Manual v2_5_5):

Brigade/Regimental and Divisional Breakdown units
entering enemy hex and when moving ZOC to ZOC

-Motorized = +2 in addition to the normal costs
-Non Motorized = +2 in addition to the normal costs
