Mato -

You have no points to buy replacements.

What do you get if you highlight the next unit down in the selection box?

Is this a scenario or a random campaign?

If scenario, might not have points available,

If random campaign, you need to exit out of game, goto HQ Helper, select your campaign, select which battle number you are on, request help. Then, points will be available for that battle. Return back to saved game (from end of last battle turn).

This help?

Matto,

You get more points at the discretion of the campaign designer, this is true for both fixed campaigns and random campaigns (RC). If you select a RC at the time when you build the campaign you can set the difficulty. This difficulty setting affects both the rate at which you will get new points to spend during the campaign as well as the number of times you can request help from HQ.

If you play on hard / historical settings you will find that your platoons slowly deplete over time as was historical. There may be battles coming up where HQ will give you some bonus points to spend to bring your forces back up to full strength. If you are really stuck you can play the next campaign battle at the easy setting which is accessed from the briefing screen for that battle. If you are really really stuck play at easy *and* use the HQ Helper system to request HQ bombard the enemy or give you extra forces or both. But be warned you can't keep asking for help forever!

I hope that answers your question

S.

I don't know how many points you were allowed in the campaign.  You have 374 points to spend. So you apparently didn't get any more points than that for this mission.

Matto,

If you chose to play on the default "Historical" level then the design is intended to not give you enough points to replace losses. Historically these forces attrited and only rarely received replacements.

You will find that there will be some battles where you get upgrades and replacements (much more points) but you have to survive the others to get to those.

Alternately, you can delete and re-create the random campaign with the replacements set to "Generous" or "Maximum" and you'll be getting replacements pretty much every battle. Those settings are designed to give you the flexibility to decide what kind of campaign you would prefer to play.

By the way, great job getting a Hero of the Soviet Union!

Regards,

- Erik
