make sure to check unit withdraws...

Post by mephistofileez »

Hey guys,


As you can probably tell by my post count, I don't say much, but this was too amusing to let pass. Playing the "Road to Smolensk", and I kept losing the 4th Panzer Group on turn two....I would drive them NE to encircle, and they would vanish. I chalked it up to driving too far and getting cut off somehow, or out of supply...finally, on the fourth go round I stumbled across the unit withdraw schedule, and what do you know :P

Anyhow, just another thing to pay attention to...love the game, more than WiTP, which I thought would never be possible, so hats off to the crew and thanks for the many hours of fun to come.

As another note: after checking the withdrawal schedule, check whether the unit is at 75% or more of its maximum TOE strength. If not, it might be preferable to increase it yourself instead of letting the game do it automatically (when a unit is supposed to be withdrawn, it will automatically be displaced to Germany and enter refit mode until it gets to 75% TOE).

The first thing I do at the beginning of every turn, is check the "Logistics Report" - shift-e.
