Morale Level Issue

Post by Q-Ball »

I am playing a PBEM as Soviets, and we are in September, 1943. (Sept 12 to be exact)

Per the manual, in September the Soviet National Morale should increase to a baseline of 55.

Additionally, Soviet Motorized Units should have their modifier increase from +5 to +10 in the same month.

This did NOT happen in my game; Rifle Units are still 50, and Motorized Units are still 55 (with Guards being +10 higher)

Is there a change that happened in the timing of this increase that's different than documented in the manual?

Or is there a bug/problem?

Was reported by M60 some months ago.
Living Manual 1.32, p.212 wrote:12.1.2. Elite Units
[...]
• Soviet Guards +10
[...]
Also some units gain a potential morale bonus due to their type (the type bonus and
the special bonus can be added together):
• Cavalry, Mountain, Airborne and Air Landing +5
• Axis Allied motorized units +5
• German Motorized Units +10
• Soviet Motorized Units (from Sept 1942-August-end of war) +5
Example: a Soviet Motorized Guard unit in 1945 has a net +15 modifier (+5
motorized in 45 +10 Guard), while a Soviet Guards Cavalry unit would have a
+15 modifier (+5 cavalry +10 elite).

Morale goes up to 55 in October.

OK. So basically the manual is wrong.

--Increase to 55 in October, not September (Manual says September)
--No increase at all to +10; removed (but still in manual)

Got it

The living manual has both items corrected.
