Build up of units? <b> key?

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).

ok Seem to be missing something. The manual say I can build Rifle Divisions from June 41. Why can't I? Have had no problems in the 42 GC. Not using Naval brigades nor Airborne. Any ideas? Using the latest public beta build.

Thx

Yes, it was changed as previously people would just merge Rifle brigades when they got them, completely ignoring the historical reason why those brigades are there in the first place (because the Soviets had suffered too many officer and specialist losses to man an army solely composed of divisions).

The updated manual includes the changes since release as sort of an addendum, the rest of the manual is still mostly the same as the release version. Eventually, the errors will be removed. The focus was on including the changes in the manual, and revising the various sections later, if needed.
