Thanks for asking,

How the heck am I supposed to get some troops up to Murmansk

Historically we know that the Germans didn't have the ability to supply any more formations in northern Finland, and the Finn government didn't want a stronger German presence anyway. So rather than allowing the player free reign in moving a large amount of units to Finland (putting Elmer at a disadvantage), we went with what was historically available. Here is what you get in Finland as reinforcements:
Turn 6 - 163rd Inf Div
Turn 25 - 6th Gebirgs Div
turn 39 - a Theater Option to convert the 99th Lt/Jg in AGS to the 7th Gebirgs (which appears in Finland 25 turns later.
Turn 110 - 210th Fortress Div
I think that is it.

why the devil is there a ID in and northeast of Narvik which "activates" on turn 500

The 214th German Inf Div is the Narvik garrison. Obviously if it is not in static mode, the player will use it. If the Soviets attack and occupy Narvik, the 214th will automatically withdraw to Germany. As it cannot be activated by the player, it serves its historical use.

Hopefully that all makes sense, Cheers!

Makes sense, thx for the answer.

By the way: LOVE the D21 Mod [:D]

Thanks!

This is turn 19.
Far enough for late August?

In Detail: Odessa is done in about 2 turns, Kiev in maybe 4-5 (horribly losses here lol), and most the enormous troop gathering at Pskov is ready to kick some ass in Leningrad. Big offensive around Smolensk (city taken few rounds ago) in about 3 turns.
Well anyway, the reason I write this is that I am worried about my losses – the ratio is 239-44 (loss penalty under situation briefing).
Currently about 34k HRS assigned – 20k dead already. Is that ok, or way too much?

I couldn’t compare the tanks (your screenie doesnt show them Larry) but about 60 Pz.IV, 200 Pz.III, 130 Pz. 38t and around 250 others.

Ps: Larry, sorry for hijacking your AAR [:D]
I just thought D21 would fit in here.

As I recall the loss rate in D21 is a lot higher than the loss rate in FITE. I don't remember any statistics right off the top of my head but I've done the beginnings of at least 4 games of D21 and I remember being astonished the first time I saw the losses and compared them to the equivalent turn in FITE. Maybe twice as high? Anyway your 34K assigned is sorta on the low side if you want my opinion. This from a guy who let his assigned get down to 32.2K

The production rate of HRS squads isn't all that great in D21 either.

Sounds like you have about twice as any tanks as I currently have in my FITE game. How about that for an intel leak.

I think it fit in here quite nicely. Thanks for posting. Keep me in the loop on your D21 game. Hey, I got an idea....start your AAR about the game you're talking about. I'll follow it. Cool.
