Some noob questions

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).

Some noob questions

Post by stavka »

Hi,

I started to study and use the WitE, not fully detailed read all the manual, but i not found any reference/answers (in a clear way) to some questions that i have:

1 - When preparing a combat and before right-click to execute it, in the popup windows that shows with the mouse over a target, what means all the numbers as in this example:
....Division (1/2) det 7, SP 1

2 - In the unit bar in the right side, what means the number in front of a waved arrow exactly bellow the unit chit?

3 - In the unit bar in the right side on a HQ Unit, what exactly means the numbers in front of the symbol #(tank), like this example: 23:18

Thanks in advance

1. Unit offensive strength; defensive strength; detection level (from 1-10) the higher the more you know about the unit and the more reliable are the strength statements. SP is the distance from the railhead in movement points, giving you a good guess how well supplied the enemy will be.

2. The percentage of the movement the unit has left. This is iirc important for reducing fatigue, which works better if the unit has not moved much.

3. The left number is the unit points attached to the HQ, the right number the maximum the HQ can support without getting reductions on leader rolls. Every brigade and regiment is worth 1, divisions 2 and soviet later war corps 4 iirc. You will get a -1 on most rolls for every point you are above the limit, so in your example the leader will probably fail almost all rolls.

You should check this out: tm.asp?m=2649216
It is a very good tutorial.
By the way, answering noob question from Stavka is fun. ;-)
