Manual is wrong on the the HI ratios as it was changed to 1000 Hi produce 500 supplies and it will cost 500 resource points. As amount of "effective" HI raises the requirement also increase.

Every arm point produce 250 armaments which cost 50 supplies. The ratio doesn't change when effective amount of factories increase.

Section 15.5.2 states "...Combat units attached to an HQ unit that is two or more levels removed
from the reserve mode unit’s HQ unit cannot be committed to that particular battle. ..."

What are you planning to write regarding reserve commitment, i.e. what does the code do?

Also, this ought to go as a clarification in the patch notes so if you are not the one writing those, please give a heads up to the person who is.

It seems that there is a missing rule in manual. Unit which is missing morale and fatigue rolls can loose morale during logistic phase.

More stuff to add...

Rule 15.6.3 still says Unready is morale + TOE less than 100 but it should say less than 90 as per v1.05.18 from Sept 6, 2011.

7.3. Depleted and Unready Units

Depleted Units: Units at 10% or less of TOE are in a depleted status, have no ZOC and will automatically displace if they end up next to an enemy unit and not stacked with a combat unit that is in a ready or unready status. These units are listed as "Depleted" and if set to Refit then they will have two asterisks next to the word Refit (Refit**).
Unready Units: Units that have the sum of their current morale and actual TOE percentage equalling less than 100 are in an unready status. Unready combat units do have a ZOC, but may only conduct an attack if they have not expended any movement points during the turn (15.6.3). These units are listed as "Unready" and if set to Refit then they will have one asterisk next to the word Refit (Refit*).


v1.05.18 – September 6, 2011

Changed the formula that determines when a unit is unready. Now, Morale+TOE must be less than 90 for a unit to be unready (used to be less than 100).

Game Play Tip: Air Base units must be located in a clear, city, urban or light woods hex in order for their attached air group units to conduct any air missions.

I can't get air groups to launch missions from Urban hexes. Is this a bug or are the rules incorrect?

ORIGINAL: Helpless

Groups can launch missions from clear, woods and city terrains. Afaik, it is design decision and manual is incorrect.

Section 14.1.1 says that the minimum number of MP's for a non-motorized unit is 6, but 8 is the correct number.

Hi Leo,

12.2.4.1. Increased Soviet Admin Costs in 1941
From June 1941 until the end of October 1941, the admin cost for building new Soviet on map units (to include fortified region units, see 12.2.5) is four times the normal build costs. For Example, in August 1941 a Rifle Division would cost 40 admin points to create and a fortified zone unit would cost 16 admin points. The cost to create a Soviet support unit is always one admin point.

There seems to be no red text/errata concerning the change in cost of russian FZ in the updated manual. Or i am blind which is ofc a very real possibility.

A smallish thread mentioning it here

v1.05.18 - September 6, 2011
New Features and Rule Changes

30) Rule change - Creating a Soviet Fortified Regions now costs 8 APs between July 1941 and October 1941 (inclusive). It is still 16 APs in June 1941.


Kind regards,

Rasmus

Also section 14.1.2 need to say 8 MP's instead of 6:

6) If a non-motorized unit, reset the unit's MPs to six if determined to be lower than six. If a motorized unit with zero MPs, reset the unit’s MPs to one.

I guess it can wait until you get back from vacation. [;)]
