...of a turn?

I think it means how many lbs of fuel are spent per MP used.

It can be... for example if we have 50 MPs and fuel consumption is 9, we would spend 450 for 50MPs is not much fuel ?

1 ton is 2000 lbs (short ton)

Ok, thanks

When we see the losses screen report, in the ground units what does it mean SP & AC?

I've also saw the initial CAP in the air units, what does it mean?...Close Air Support, maybe?

Great game!

SP - Self Propelled. Usually applied to artillery mounted on a tank chassis.
AC - Armoured Car. Light armoured vehicles used for scouting and recon
CAP - Combat Air Patrol. Fighter aircraft launched to protect a specific area, usually the base and immediate area they are launched from. The number of a/c in the air is maintained throughout the day(light) so only a small number of fighter a/c will ever be in the air compared to those available at the base.

Thanks Chris H for your answer

WitE 2.0 is something we plan on getting to after WitW is completed. The expansion pack for WitE is a new scenario pack with 11 new scenarios.

Are we a long way off from this (years) or since the base game is there and the logistic and air system are developed and working in WitW, can we hope to see this in 2015?

Hi!, what means threat level 0/0/0 /?, where can I find it?

I have a question.

How do the Finns transport units to captured ports?

I have captured Leningrad several turn ago and I cannot transport between Helsinki and Leningrad.

I tried to make this as a separate post but it wouldn't let me for some reason, so I'll just copy paste it here:

I quickly discovered in my first "proper" game as the Soviets that it is very easy to trick the AI into concentrating it's forces in the "rump" of Romania early on by threatening to pocket the troops there, thus leaving the rest of Romania largely undefended. As this part of the country is rather flat, it is then trivial to rush a few fast cavalry, motorized, and panzer divisions to Bucharest, end a turn with a unit there, and knock Romania out of the war by turn 7 or so. This doesn't work every time, and sometimes things can backfire, but when it does you destroy a solid fifth of the Axis's army and leave a massive gaping hole in their lines with no real effort.

Has anyone else noticed this? I feel that I should probably consider it an exploit and not actually use it in my "proper" attempt at a campaign, but I'm curious to know what others think about it.

Small questions about the locked HQ option.

Did this option forever cancel automatic support unit movement between HQ ?

Or this option only lock all HQ by default, but we can still manually restore automatic movement of support unit between HQ by settings individually some HQ to unlock/support unit limit = 3 for example.

They are just locked at scenario start but you can anytime change the support limit even with locked HQs.

Thank you !!

Its advisable once you have set the number of SU that you require in the HQ that you lock it otherwise you will find that they may transfer out & be unavailable for your next turn (that issue has been causing me no end of problems in my current game with Michael T)

Another question :

I see in lot of AAR german (and soviet) players keeping tracks of captured&destroyed factories (such as armement, HI, Vehicule, etc....).

Did this information recorded in one table somewhere inside the game ? (Such as in looses reports ? ).

The Soviet player can compare his current factory numbers with those he started the campaign with to work out losses. The Axis player has to count them as he destroys them and keep a mental or written record.

Small question :
Did soviet artillery on-map brigade (like light howitzer brigade and light rocket brigade) are able to shoot from 2 cases like soviet artillery division ?

Yes, but their impact is small (few guns when compared to divisions).
