"W" in combat resolution window?

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).

"W" in combat resolution window?

Post by Dave25210 »

Hello,

please could someone tell me what the "W" stands for in parentheses behind "Axis Forces Defending" ?
I know that "H" after "Soviet Forces Attacking" means the hasty attack, but "W"? I downloaded the
latest 2.5.5 manual but didn't find it so far. Thanks for help!

Fighting withdrawal I think to be specific. One of the combat events that came up with one of the patches. Depends on a roll and basically should mean you still retreat, but with fewer losses on your part and more on the attacker.
