Realism questions again - to Rick and others

Post by Kuniworth »

Hi Rick, any news on the new version. How´s the playtesting going, is it confirmed that axis gets three extra rail-conversions?

By the way I think you said in a post that the russian setup was´nt historic. Is that true, at some points or all over front?

I also wan´t to question why all russians armys contain of just 3 divisions/elements none more none less. That can´t be correct. What can we do about this?

I am not sure what is going on with the release, but it should be really close. The Axis will definitely get the 3 rail conversion into mid-July (3-4 turns since none occurs the first turn).

For the 1941 scenario, the initial setup is fairly accurate, but there are missing divisions due to the game limitations, and so I didn't even bother placing every division where it started as the missing ones would leave holes. Most of the front line units are in the approximate starting spot but I don't have exact locations for many, just an army, and then I have army locations, so I knew the divisions started along a certain part of the front, give or take.

Regarding the number of divisions, what scenario are you talking about with the 3 divisions in all armies? The 1941 campaign has a definite mix of them, many with 2 and 3, some with 4. I assume it is another one based on this that you are questioning.

Thanks for the info.
