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).

Assign support to divisions question

Post by medicff »

I am new to WITE and have looked high and low. Unfortunately forum search not working at the moment.

My question

I am attempting to add Support units to divisions on the XXXXI corps. I see several attached SP AA, pioneer, construction, bn listed in the corps.

However when using the assign function only a few units show up to select. Nothing moved yet at start of 41-45 campaign 1.09 update.

I can't find out why all units are not showing up to allow selection. Can anyone explain or point me to what explains a rule affecting the available SU units?

Thanks in advance

Construction, artillery and luftwaffe AA cannot be directly assigned to divisions. They can still have their support lent by HQ during combats, fortification building etc. Pioneers and many other SUs can be directly assigned. The rule may seem arbitrary but I assume is based on the military doctrine of the time.
