Soviet bombers continue to hit German airfields creating additional losses to interdiction aircraft.

I may have asked this before, but are you camping those AA units on the airfields ? Usually Elmer shy's away from airfield attacks when Flak is there.

For what its worth, the Germans historically used some of their Flak units to combat Soviet tanks. These are the regimental sized Flak units in the scenario. There are also a handful of smaller sized Flak units that can be used to protect airfields.

Yup, I have AA units on almost all airfields that have air units at them. On the combat reports, the AA never shows up as defending. And so, I can't tell if the AA is doing anything....

Um......this came up on the Beta team too and the answer is in the toaw_log.txt file in the root directory where the exe lives. You
have to have toaw logs turned on ( Opart3.ini entry ). I'm not sure what you look for as somebody else was working the case but
from what he posted there's something in there ( the log ) that will tell you whether or not the AA unit is working.

EDIT: What you COULD do is set up a test scenario with nothing but an AA unit at a friendly airfield ( well, maybe add some
kind of unit to have the enemy attack, say a fighter unit ) and have an enemy bomber unit at IT'S friendly airbase within range
of our AA unit and have the enemy attack the base where the AA unit is and look in the TOAW log file what happened. It would
be best if you did this test as the only thing in the log, so quit TOAW and restart it and load the test.sal ( you did save it right ? )
and run the attack and THEN look in the TOAW log file for your attack.

Seems like that's buried too deep for normal players to see.. IMO. I went looking at the toaw log and it's not the easiest thing to rummage through either. lol

EDIT: You would be able to do all this in the editor and save your scenario as test.sce or something and then you'll have a
scenario to choose as a new game. Just store your test.sce in East Front WWII or somewhere you can find it.

Yup, I have AA units on almost all airfields that have air units at them.

Well that's disappointing then. I arrived at this conclusion because I noticed that Elmer seems to love bombing units on rivers, then his next priority seems to be airfields. I was so aggravated in one scenario that I would never leave ground units on rivers. Then I tried putting AA units on rivers and he stopped bombing them. So then I tried putting AA on airfields and he stopped bombing those. So I guess I'm crazy but I thought other players would have the same results.

I've not seen the issue with bombing ground units on river hexes, just at airfields. Which is fine, but it just seems like a lot.. I've had this the entire game. I look into the toaw log, and I think I saw AA getting involved. And I have the AA units set to 3 dots on defense at each airfield. The AA units are always fully supplied above 100% and 100% on readiness. So, it's hard to tell if they are doing anything during these attacks with supply at 150% and readiness at 100%.

[larryfulkerson]

I think I saw AA getting involved,

How about posting your TOAW log so I can look it over too. I've never tried to decifer one of those.

Below I have attached the test.sce file that I used for the test of the AA fire. You guys can test your exe
yourself if you'd like

Just truncate the dot txt off the file name and unzip it.

Ok, so I found one and listed both the sitrep log, and the toaw log. I just wish that the ground forces adding to AA defense would show up in the combat report on the front end, verses having to dig this deep to find it.

AGS update. Turn 66, 20SEP42.

Strangely enough, Elmer has been retreating a lot of units in the southern sectors over the last two turns. Not sure what's the deal, and so the German's are reducing the pockets and planning to move forward. Early fall season, waiting for the rains to come and muddy up the terrain.

[Cmdr_Vessery]

AGC update. Turn 66, 20SEP42

The encirclement around the southern Moscow city defenders have been completed. Last few weeks, Soviet troops have been moving out of the pocket, but with the help of the 16th Panzer Division, the escape route was cut off and blocked.

Over the next few weeks, this pocket will be reduced and the troops redeployed.

AGS South update. Turn 71, 25OCT42.

All pockets south of Belgorod have been reduced. Elmer continues to pull troops back from the front lines. With supplies lower getting to the front, offensive operations will be limited to good supplies lines and rail options.

[Cmdr_Vessery]

AGC update - Turn 71, 25OCT42

The dug in defenders near Moscow have been surrounded, and are being reduced. No hurry on completing this pocket reduction, no relief is nearby for these troops.

[Cmdr_Vessery]

AGN update - Turn 71, 25OCT42

Not a lot of activity on this front, the terrain just to the east is rough terrain for mobile troops and infantry alike.

41st PzK is staying near Leningrad for a mobile counter attack force in case Soviet forces press forward. Additional infantry divisions are in place for counter offensive if necessary.
