manpower from the east for the osttruppen

[shane56]

G'day all,
like many others I am developing a 41'GC of my own and just need a confirmation of how I plan to integrate the osttruppe manpower and to ensure that I understand how the manpower / replacement system works, after reading the manual and lurking through the threads. Are there any game type issues I am not aware of with what I plan to do below ?

What I plan to do is via the editor (and have done this on a smaller scale and tested it via AI vs AI) is change all the locations in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia to german ownership but off course they will still be left as soviet player, so when they are taken over by the wehrmacht they will of course have suffered some damage, but not much depending on how long it takes to get to them, as they will be in isolated mode till then (and will start to recover once the rail line connects to them), and then their manpower will be added to the german manpower thus powering up the numbers needed to finance the ost-truppen units, I have setup.

Given that the soviets invaded the baltic states, the soviets should not receive any manpower at all from these unwilling states, and this should be the case in all the other standard scenarios.

Thanks ..Shane
