Recon oh recon, where did you go?

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).

Recon oh recon, where did you go?

Post by glvaca »

To the WITE dev team:
In the latest installments of the game I've noticed a sharp decline in recon by moving troops next to enemy units but ONLY on the AXIS side.
After just having played 50+ turns as Sov. vs SJ80, I never had ANY problems getting a 10 intell on the enemy forces. It's not always correct mind, which begs the question, why even bother indicating it's perfect intelligence.

Now combined with the unbelioevable crap shoot combats have become, it doesn't take much of a stretch that the lack of recon is probably what causes these freaky combats which we did not have previously, when recon was still good.

To be clear, I don't mind a held here or there. I don't mind the losses. Or the delay. But I get so aggravated by the unrecoverable loss of morale on my infantry I'm getting seriously ennoyed enough to post about it. It took 16 turns but the game really got me this far.

I'm not a difficult person and I'm not suspecious by nature. But I do recognize UNADVERTIZED changes in the combat engine when I see them. This is getting rediculous again!!!

AAAAAARGHHH!

Helio, don't f***king think about it!

Hi all,

Same answer as in other thread...

There were no changes to WitE apart from those listed in ReadMe and updated manual addendum (although the bugfixes are not listed there - there are only in ReadMe to avoid clutter in addendum)!

As Soviets I have found that I also get less recon, which to me is a good thing. Moving a brigade or cav division no longer gives me lvl 10 det, which is def a step forward in the right direction.

Lol..I would wonder about the incorrect "10" also..if it is not correct, then it should not be said to be correct, just leave it as 9. 10 should be, basically" we have inside information" anyway in the real world.
