As a strictly WitE player, is there anything in the WitW manual that would be beneficial to read to get a head start on understanding WitE2? Anything that is largely unchanged?

Hi everyone,

Development on WITE2 is going very well, we are in a late beta stage and it's shaping up to be great wargame. It's been a much bigger endeavour than WITW was compared to WITE. We'll be able to share a lot more with you all, including a release timeframe, during December. Stay tuned and you'll know much more in the near future.

Regards,

- Erik

Since we will be waiting until next month for more information on WITE2, I was wondering if at least you guys can wet our appetite and let us know what campaigns and scenario's will be in the new upcoming game?

Can who is familiar with WitE2 give a fuller explanation of the new combat-delay rule that is to be implemented? Billings did go over it in the Slitherine twitch interview but only briefly.

Is it related to the system used in the game Operational Art of War?

14.1.5. COMBAT DELAY MOVEMENT COSTS

Whenever ground combat takes place in a hex, there is a chance that a ‘combat delay’ will be generated for the hex which may slow down future movement from this hex during the current movement phase. This combat delay accumulates as described below with every battle in the hex, but total combat delay in a hex may never exceed nine points. This combat delay is listed at the bottom of the hex pop up and is displayed in the hex inside a small movement compass the same color as the non-phasing player. The graphic display can be toggled on or off using hotkey Ctrl-d. The effect of the delay is that when a unit moves out of a hex, it expends an amount of MPs equal to the combat delay if a non-motorized unit, and three times the combat delay if a motorized unit. As always it must have enough MPs to successfully complete the move or it is not allowed. All combat delays are zeroed out at the start of the next logistics phase. Combat delay points are added to a hex as follows:

3 Points – Deliberate attack with final odds < 5 to 1
2 Points – Deliberate attack with final odds >= 5 to 1 and < 10 to 1
1 Point – Deliberate attack with final odds >= 10 to 1
1 Point – Hasty attack with final odds < 10 to 1.

Note
This rule makes does not make it harder to enter
a hex that was taken in combat, but does make it
harder to move further than that hex during the
current combat phase.
