Soviet Air Replacements

War in Spain 1936-39 is the first in a new wargame series, using a new Land-Sea-Air engine inspired by War in the Pacific - Admiral’s Edition. Gameplay and realism are improved by TRUE AI and a detailed Logistics systems. A hyper detailed OOB reaches down to battalion and company level. A beautiful, hand drawn, 5 nautical mile per hex map massively increases player immersion.

Soviet Air Replacements

Post by Q-Ball »

It appears that there are no replacements available for Soviet Air Units. Is this WAD?

Example: Here is a I-16 Type 5 Mosca unit. It needs planes! But none are available on this screen as replacements (it's not a supply issue at this hex; Spanish units are able to get replacements:

...there are plenty of I-16s in the Republican Spain Pool. 74 in fact. There are no Republican Spanish Units right now, however, that can use this type. They are sitting there unused:

The USSR pool is completely empty. There are no replacements available:

It appears that all the I-16 Production is dropped into the Republican Pool, where the USSR cannot access it.

Is this working as designed? Or should Soviet units be able to access that pool of aircraft?

Form up a ferry group for the Republicans and lend lease it to the Soviets . . .

How do I do that? Creating a Ferry Group from the unit screen just creates an empty Ferry Unit
