Air transfer to axis allied airbases prevents planes from flying

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).

Air transfer to axis allied airbases prevents planes from flying

Post by Nekronion »

So apparantely transfer to Romanian airbases is possible for German planes. When trying to transfer to a hex with both a Romanian airbase and a German one it went to the Romanian base, courtesy of higher ID. While that is annoying it wouldn't be a big problem.

Just that being on a non-German airbase completely prevents the planes from doing anything.[&:]
Even with everything in the best shape possible the planes won't fly. And since they now have 1% airmiles due to the transfer they can't be moved off.

You can use them as part of the Kabuki dance or as a place to rest planes in the rear with the guarantee they will not fly during the soviet phase.

I find them very useful and would find it more difficult to manage the air if allied bases were not available to the Luftwaffe

Well, I think it will remove this "feature". It should not be possible.

So now we lost the cross-national kabuki dance! What is next to go? The Eurovision song contest! [:D]

Okay I guess [:(], but please make sure if at all possible that if there is a stacked different nationality airbase of higher ID it doesn't prevent transfer to lower ID german airbase.

Given that a recon base (higher ID) in the same hex blocks an air transfer of a non-recon airgroup now I assume it will.

If allied airbases could be made to not block german airbases it would be nice to do the fix for recon bases too.

One easy way to fix this would be to give the German LW airbases new ID numbers which are higher than the allies or recon bases - so it would be a simple data fix.
