I'am not sûre to understand. Do you mean no production of super heavy gun is possible and we have a fixed amount for the entire war from start ?

Yes, but this only applies to guns like the 600mm Karl. They weren't built serially.

It may apply to the soviet 203mm if i remember well. I will check.

As the 203mm is in the default TOE of breakthough divisions, i may have to disband old support units BM howitzer.

I think Denniss could add something here, he altered build limits for many elements.

Heavy and Super-Heavy Artillery are likely somewhat restricted in their production but not disabled (or not highest priority). Only the 280mm gun does not produce.

Thanks.
I will keep monitoring my new heavy gun division who try to find 100+ 152mm gun-Howitzer.

Zimmermann,

Try just doing nothing for 5/10 min after you see the 99%, etc msg. If you have Win 10 it should all straighten right out and you can finish up by following the prompts.

That worked, thank you! [:)]

First of all thank you for the update. I find it great that the game is still improving!!!!!!!

I have updated from an old version (one.eight.four) to the current version and tested more times.

The same battles in the two versions provide very different results.
The losses of the Germans seem to me very small.

I then tested with another saved game in the first Blizzard (one day after Christmas).
Even there the Germans had very little losses.
(Normal winter settings)

Mhh, can it be that the game needs a few laps to settle down?
Does the German also get more losses when he is attacking?

The method of accounting changed, so now you see the exact losses taken during battle (already killed or disabled). Previously casualties were shown as higher, but they were fantasy numbers - trying to approximate losses that you will take in the future when resolving damage from elements during logistics phase. Obviously there could be many more battles or movement or air strikes between this point in time and your next logistics phase so they were not accurate at all.

As morvael said, what is being shown has changed, but the actual losses (in terms of destroyed/damaged elements that result from a battle, and how these elements convert to KIA/Captured/Disabled and can be repaired over time has not changed). Because of the changes, it will look like losses are lower, but actual losses have not changed at all.

Thank you for the information.

Playing a very mature Bitter End game, multiplayer, with gmtello. The game had been unable to load for gmtello using the penultimate beta. The game was advanced to Dec. 1944. With the new beta patch, my opponent was able to load and play. Now, while trying to play my turn, the game crashes frequently. It appears to do so only when the enemy is retreating.

Please send me the save.

It's a multiplayer game. Try a deliberate attack with the Russian unit at 75, 74. You'll get an immediate crash after the retreat.

Will you pause so I could ask Joel to download the save?

Sure. Of the two games between chuckdevore and gmtello, it's the one saved on 19 FEB.

I see 4 active gmtello games on the server, but none against chuckdevore. All the games have last change dates of Feb 21 or later. do you go by a different name on the server?

Weird, it shows up on my multiplayer screen as chuckdevore. Perhaps S2 Tanker?
