Time for replacements to arrive at divisions?

[rocketman71]

I have had my first wave of replacements arrive in Berlin, but now some four turns later I am yet to see any replacements arrive at the front. Not even at prio divisions. Does it usually take this long (my first playthrough)?

Hi rocketboy,

Generally takes a turn or two to disperse replacements but a division will only request them if casualties are below a certain threshold (see the manual page 212). You can also have the situation where a division is asking for replacements but there is no viable route between it and Berlin for the replacements to travel.

If you poke around the replacement tabs down the bottom you should see hard numbers of what's on hand, what's requested and what's been dispatched.

Cheers,

I have checked the replacements tab for several divisions that I know have taken a lot of casualties and have stated a certain amount of requested replacements but received none. None of these divisions are isolated or out of supply. I have since replacements arrived in Berlin moved the FSB, but still I can't see that my divisions are in such a position that replacements shouldn't have arrived by now.

Also tried to find if there was a report on replacements but couldn't find one. It would be very handy.

I'm on Aug 17th and still no replacements. The stats tab show "no divisions got replacements" so it is clear they are not distributed at all. Am I doing something wrong? I was under the impression that the game handles everything apart from setting of "prio". If this continues I'm losing this game. The German lines are getting awfully thin in places.

There are detailed statistics available on replacement troops requested and sent in the STATS tab as well as in the unit details tab.

Best wishes,

Here is the info I can get as of turn 17 Aug (replacements arrived at HC at 24 July according to the manual).

HC show no requests, in the sent tab req has numbers but out just zeroes.
Divisions show requested, but In=zeroes and Ret=Zeroes.
In the stats tab, Received show "No unit received replacements" and Requested show numbers in two columns.

Something must be wrong. Don't know how to take screenshots in game but can send save to someone to have a look at.

Game is recently purchased on Steam and runs under Win 10 latest updates. The game show no other weirdness, but this is enough to make it unplayable which would be awful is I enjoy it a lot. I run a map mod but can't see how that would mess things up.

File sent. Thanks for looking at it. Hope it can be solved.

Took a look. All looks fine. The replacements have already been passed down. Everything thats left at High Command is stuff that is not needed at the moment in the frontline like: Romanian Staff. (because in that case all Romanian HQs already have their full staff compliment). What your frontline units mostly need is: 82.600 infantry! But you don't have any at High Command. Hence.

[rocketman71]

But the first wave of replacements must have left HC by now right? That's why they have none. If I got replacements already why does the stats tab say "No unit received replacements"? Or does it say something else when you test?

[rocketman71]

I think I get it (finally[8|]) - all the info on units and stat tabs are for the current turn only, and not accumulated. I was under the impression that you could tell when a division got replacements, but unless you look that turn in the specific tab you missed it.
