there aren't many calculated columns (ie x/y) as its fairly tricky to code, so you need to rely on the ready % filter

just tested, I can convert all upgrades to auto using the CR but some stay on auto if I order them all to manual

most of these are in the TB (not using enhanced control) so that makes sense

there is a small cluster in the reserve, they are all recon no other obv characteristics



had a look at one in the editor and I can't see anything odd



but then I'm not really sure what I see in the editor at the best of times

Thanks as ever Loki.

I've isolated my issue - it is air units which are in transfer which I am unable to change from manual to auto. I guess that makes sense.

Ok thanks - understand if its a coding issue. Shame however as %ready is pretty much the first value I want to be able to see. Ground units have %TOE as a column, I would have thought it would be a priority to have the same for air groups?

I think this has been asked before but even if I set ground support escort requirement to 100% its still possible to get a ground support AD with no escorts? Im just trying to find better ways to not accidentally run ground support with just bombers that then get chewed up

These divisions are all around 78 exp and above, with 75 morale. Do you have any tips that can reduce these losses?

edit: i noticed that in the supply detail screen that the negative replacement values correspond with an increase in manpower. I'll just get all these "losses" back as replacements then right?

When the player creates a new depot where there is no railyard, or creates a new airfield, often an ENG SU will be assigned to speed construction.

What level HQs are these assignations coming from, and when the job is done does the SU return to the higher HQ?

[squatter]

Is there a hotkey for 'assign unit to STAVKA/OKH'?

[Stamos22]

Should I be moving infantry out of my panzer groups for the sake of mobility? I'm still only in the first few turns but using my panzer groups to make pockets I'm having to leave one or the other out of command range. Any advice would be appreciated!

any that is in range, so that bit is fairly random. The SU returns to its host HQ when it is finished

Thanks - suits me if I don't have to worry about it!

So is not being able to upload JPG's to the forum still a thing right now?

Are there any penalties for going over the command point limit for air corps and army levels?

if I recall, you can't breach these limits, they are a hard cap (unlike ground HQs)

in the early turns with the axis I wouldn't worry too much about corps-HQ ranges, for the most part your corps commanders will pass most tests and you will tend to dominate most battles.

an advantage to the infantry in the Pzr Grps is they retain the advantages of being in an assault command for CPP gain etc

Combat delay - is there a chance to attack a hex without generating combat delay? I remember reading in manual and there was something written that >10:1 combat result is needed to not generating any combat delay, but I cannot find it anymore in manual and it does not work. Maybe I am wrong but would be great if someone could write about this

22.2.7 in the manual. Scouting attacks and hasty attack with >10:1 result, without any enemy remaining adjacent to the attacked hex after battle create 0 combat delay.

Turn 1 has exception on the last rule, all 10:1 hasty attacks give 0 delay that turn.

[briklebritt]

Ah thanks! So it did not work for me because there were enemies adjacent to the attacked hex, got it![:)]

Can support units be committed from a higher-level HQ (i.e. German 11th Army) to subordinates of a lower-level HQ (i.e. German 11th Army, XI Corps) if it is within 5 hexes of the combat?

no, it has to be the direct command for combat support units

Little question on Support-Units and Support-Level:

Starting a scenario, I want to get all SUs into my Corps-HQs. So I set at the beginning Support-Level of all Corps-HQ to 9 and all other HQs to Support-Level 0.

Now I see after 1 or 2 turns, that construction units did not go down into Corps-HQ and even some other SUs stay at the higher level HQs too. Where is my mistake? Support Level is not locked in game options..
