Building Russian Rifle Divisions

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).

Building Russian Rifle Divisions

Post by jmbraat »

It is Jan 42. Moscow is surrounded by Rifle Brigades. I would like to turn some of those Rifle Brigades into Rifle Divisions. The manual says to highlight the units in question, then press "b" or press the "build unit" button at the top. When I do nothing happens. What have I done wrong?

Are they in the same hex? I think they need to be assigned to the same HQ now too?

Are you using the button to build new units rather than the button to merge units into a bigger unit?

Some mergers can only be done after a certain date too?

According to my notes Rifle Divisions can built after Jun 41 by merging 2 or more Rifle Brigades. The 2 brigades belong to STAVKA, have movement points remaining, and are in supply.

I do remember seeing it once, and wondered what a "restricted rifle brigade" was ...
