Re: R U sure manpower data is correct?

What a terrible ability to read charts, you completely did not understand what these numbers mean and how they are obtained.

The Germans have a higher pool of people because the need for troops is less. The USSR forms new and replenishes beaten divisions. Sometimes from scratch. The German, on the other hand, replenishes no more than 11-15k people per turn, because his losses are an order of magnitude smaller.

From here and the high accumulated menpower.

While not surprisingly 102 AP accumulated by turn 13 speak volumes.

Is it really necessary to be so rude? The community for a game like this is small enough without people being chased away by comments like these. So toxic.

OP, despite Shaggy's unpleasant tone he is correct to say it is not clear how to work out how you are getting your figures from the screenshots you've posted. I'm away from the game at the moment so it's a bit difficult off the top of my head to explain which numbers you need to look at to work out manpower production. You might not even need to work it out as there are numbers hidden away in the UI. Another more experienced player might be able to advise. Otherwise I'll have a look this evening.

The graph is under "production", but it's the manpower pool. It shows you the total, not how much you've produced each turn. The Axis units have few opportunities to take on replacements in summer '41, so their pool goes up slowly. The Soviets produce a lot more but are able to send it to units right away, so their pool hardly ever increases.

He's like that on most his posts... We should be helping people when they have questions not shutting them down.

No need to delete it, there are no wrong or stupid questions, there are just stupid answers.

I don't think that I'm downright toxic, as they say here, rude in my rightness? Definitely.

I definitely do not shut up the creator of the topic, but I strongly point out his personal mistake that he made.

True, this is not an affectionate mother, this is a cruel stepmother. She can hit.

Do not berate new players asking questions on this forum. That first sentance was completely unnecessary.

These kinds of posts ARE toxic, because no-one wants the help of someone who is berating them. That can extend to the community as a whole, driving away new players - who are the lifeblood of the game.

If you can't be nice or at the very least respectful, then leave threads like these alone.

You leave me little choice but to add a warning to your account.

Thanks,
