AirBase question

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).

AirBase question

Post by Rankorian »

First, great game. You experienced players probably envy me starting the game for the first time--I don't know the AI and other weaknesses. It just looks great to me.

Question: I move my airbase (and I see that WITW has gone back to fixed AB), what does that mean for my planes on the AB. Does it reduce their range? Do missions that require no use of range become no longer able to be run?

The idea of an AB taking off across country must have been well thought out--explain its implications on the aircraft/etc. Move the AB at the end of the turn?
Number one principle: The inherent worth and dignity of all people.

Basically, the MPs of the base and the % flown by the air units attached are interrelated. Each MP expended by the base increases the % flown by the attached air units, and each mission flown reduces the total MPs of the AB.

Note that some missions can only be flown by air units that have not moved or flown at all -- off the top of my head, they are: city bombing, unit bombing, air transfer, and LB re-supply to land units. Don't hold me to that list, though ;)
