NEON - an empty Italian front will have an event, unless one already occured in the very recent past.

Sorry, I am clueless in Colorado.

---------------------------------------------

The reason I asked Rick was I put 2000+ aircraft in the Italian front by themselves
and they managed not to break. Of course they were all 99 exp. and the point value was
over 1000 strength. The front did bust like
that a number of times but it did hold a few times too.
No ground units at all. None. No events had taken place before either.
Do you know how much strength points it takes
in 41 to insure that the front never breaks?
BTW I am using wir 3.0
Thanks

Neon,
Thanks for checking all that. All I can see is that Arnaud must have changed the Axis strength calcs as he said he wanted to do eventually, and added in something for the Axis air strength. The original idea was going to make the air units a force multiplier without any strength itself, but it sure doesn't sound like that is what is happening either.

I will let you all know what Arnaud says when I hear back from him.

Thanks

In answer to the question on what the Italian HQ air power represents...

Those planes are a combination of the air units used by the DAK and the Italian forces in africa and the Luffwaffe units assigned to stop British convoys based in Italy and Crete.

Removing them should be verboden. The Italian government is not going to strip its airpower off (they faced a very real threat from the British) and there was strategic need for the Stuka and HE111 as anti-shipping aircraft. Plus Rommel needs some air cover for his ground operations.

I am in wir 3.0 but just to be sure i'll desinstall then reinstall in a clean directory

Just did what i said in previous post then "played" some turns very rapidly (clicking on orders combat with a move time to time). no shatter and front's strength came back to 2500
and didn't move no more. Will try a more serious test later.
