Russian Unit Buildup

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).

Russian Unit Buildup

Post by slapshot76 »

For some reason I am not able to buildup my Russian Rifle brigades in a Rifle division. I have three stacked together, same HQ, in supply, and it is Jan '42.

Anybody else have any issues?

And since you can use the brigades to form corps in June, there's little need to use 3 brigades to make a division.
Let them frolic in the sun behind the lines for a month, or use 'em for digging second and third defensive lines where needed.

Using 3 brigades to form a division, and then after a month using two of those divisions with yet another brigade to form a corps is a waste of both units and APs.

I tend to disagree. In November and December 1941, the Soviets get a metric s***load of rifle brigades as reinforcements. These are essentially obsolete units by mid 1942 as the front is choked solid. Use them to construct divisions and corps by all means.

Building a corps out of 2 divisions + 1 brigade is one of the better ways of using up all of those useless rifle brigades.
