Wait, I didn't see any active partisans. Last time I checked, the best of them reached 60% TOE. Am I supposed to do something with them, or do they work automatically, like the RR units? How do I know a partisan is now active? Also, there is nothing in the log that my VVS bombers help the partisans...

An active partisan has only the letter "P" in it, not "PC". As long as you have transports/bombers flying supply to them, the VVs will help the partisans, but I have yet to see alot of them in -41.

Yeah, I have found out on F11 that my bombers fly those supplies, as well as some attacks by the partisans, so all is well in that department. Now I'm dealing with 50 000+ men in support units that tried to hide from war in Ural HQ. Why would they need 7 RR construction brigades there?! Damn those automated SU assignments, no more of them, thank you

[randallw]

The best thing you can do there is to set the support level to 0, and at least the units that are not construction or sapper won't stick there.

[morvael]

The RR units were moved for free as well due to M.D. special rule. However, I used the support level 0 thing to move support units out of 7th Indepentent Army. I still don't get it - does it cost 1 AP to assign SU from Stavka to subordinate units (unlike on-map units)? So it's the same cost as building a new SU?

[cpt flam]

no from MD or Stavka cost nothing to affect

[morvael]

I wanted to land an airborne brigade on the third entry to Crimea to isolate all your units on the peninsula, but as I was afraid you will overrun Kerch before winter, I launched the operation unprepared for the third landing, so it had only a limited effect.

[morvael]

The AAR is late, I guess the German HQ still ponders the loss of 13th, 14th Panzer and 16th Motorized [;)]
