So what happens is one side can get clear weather and the other side can get a torrential rain and both sides are playing on the same exact date.

OK, gotcha. Then that means the list is randomized, THEN read in the random order from start to end?

If so, that's good to know and will affect what I do with the scripts in question.

Correct the unit list is randomized each time it reads in a purchase event, e.g. a unique random order for each event (and each time through on each turn), and then it reads in that list from start to end.

@Bill, ..

May i ask on a 'semi philosophical' level how allowing the AI to design its own units rather than hard code against the clock works in the evolution of the WW2 campaigns in the game? Obviously we don't have specific models of tank, such as the T-34/76 and T-34/85, but the arrival of the former and then the latter on the WW2 Eastern Front in 1940 was a 'game changer' in real historical terms, as was the case with other vehicles, aircraft and military strategies.

Am I to understand that the randomness means that in any given play-through the Russians may or may not introduce a game changing medium tank and if they do, when they do this and how many they therefore produce can vary by years?

This is simply for my understanding as I am intrigued.

#7 - You can only have one convoy between two countries. For example if you want to have a convoy from Glasgow to Murmansk and another one from Glasgow to Archangelsk. This would help simulate how Murmansk was a small port but open all year and Archangelsk was the major port and during the summer months the USSR would get way more supplies. I tried to do this and it would not work. Best I could do was have UK ship to one port and USA to the other.

The way we get round this is that we have a convoy to both, and the engine picks the relevant one, i.e. in winter it switches to Murmansk, in the summer to Archangelsk.

One thing you could try would be to increase the % of the UK's MPPs that can be sent via the Archangelsk script, as that would effectively replicate what you've mentioned about the USSR getting more supplies in summer.

I hope that makes sense, and referring to the scripts in the campaigns should help.
