You can see one of them if you are looking careful in the screenshots of this thread:

Hint, this is about entrenchement levels.

I'll try: You can now keep your entrenchment level if doing a swap?

Yes it was one of those things I just didn't think of when I made the game.

Thanks! That is cool. We can can rotate units at the front without been paralyzed by the dilemma if it is worth it or not to lose the entrenchment [:)]

Alvaro thank you for continuing to update and support the games you have made.

WP2 is going to be great. Speaking of, is it planned to be global or just ETO?

The best game is one that ends on the last turn of the game.

By definition, all games end after the last turn.
You're speaking of victory ;)

The best game is one that both opponents believe is unbalanced in favor of the side their opponent is playing.

So wont the air force changes help the Germans in early Barbarossa or really until 43? actually the big concern may be Russia in 42 once the rails are all repaired?

You are right. I am not yet there in my hotseat testing game. But 1942, once the rail are repaired, is also scaring me for the Russian. I wonder if Russian should not have a production boost in December 1941 so that they throw armies after armies in front of the Germans in May 1942.

I have not heard of the feedback from the other beta testers.

The Russians have a lot of reserve units.

Well the patch was going to be sent Monday till someone found some more bugs. Imagine an arrow point to the above post and you will know who it was.

No one buys air because armor/mech is way more effective.[/i]

As Russia, disbanding air to buy armor/mech is not even a bad idea. Russia can advance without air cover at all since enemy air does not impact their logistics meaning their supply network.

But isn't breaking a front and smashing into the green fields beyond what a mech force does?

From what I have seen the Allies have a distinct 1940 advantage in that the Brits can still put far more forces into France than their real 1940 ability to mobilize allows AND no account is taken of the fragile morale of the French Army in 1940 and the feckless defeatist mindset of their government As to the USSR- allow their armor/mech the same op points as the Germans from the very beginning.
