Bozo is back from retirement and has lots of questions

[morvael]

Command range is counted as the crow flies. They have radio!

I took both ports the previous turn.

Did you take Riga?

[morvael]

Riga will be damaged and will not project enough strength to close beachhead supply here. Also, Helsinki & Tallin are a bit weak and are unable to close Leningrad completely. I was pointing this out to Denniss at one time, when lookig for a bug which wasn't there.

And another question. Why is the northern unit in command range. I count 7 hexes. Or is that because it's a pocket?

The distance is measured "as the Reichsadler flies".

[Bozo_the_Clown]

Did you take Riga?

Yes, I took Riga

Thanks, forgot about beachhead supply.

Has it always been like this?

Yep.

Another question regarding air lifting fuel in 41. After air lifting fuel the HQ's MPs go down which is normal. However, none of the fuel shows up in the unit. What happened to it?

[xhoel]

They show up as fuel when you open the HQ details screen. Check Fuel/Needed.

However, I think you are going by old rules here. In the new patches, dropping fuel to HQs won't help you. You need to do drops to the units themselves.

[morvael]

Yes, you drop to individual units, so HQ got the fuel for themselves. The only case when resources are distributed to units around is airhead supply via airbase.

Aaahh… answers a question for me, thanks! (...drop to units, not HQs...)

[wkuh]

...and welcome back BOZO!

Greetings, I too am returning to GGWITE after a few years. Can anyone remind me how to activate the setting that draws a line back to the HQ of a unit if you click on the unit or if you click on the HQ, it draws a line or lines to all of that HQ's units? Thanks

Press the (`/~) key.

[redrum68]

Yeah I didn't realize that for a while either. I'm a bit surprised its not just on by default.

also Shift Z

I am conducting experimental mud warfare during 41 as Soviet player and get some odd results. The Russians should get slaughtered during this battle but instead it's the other side taking the losses. Not a single occurrence. Is this normal?

[56ajax]

Were most of the losses from the Rum Cav? They are brittle.

Picked up this game again after 3 years. Still so good!

Welcome back! I always love reading your material and wish you were doing an AAR on your current game. Can we talk you into doing an AAR from the Soviet side which I believe you are playing now? Please? Pretty please?
