This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

Trucks immune to bombardment?

Post by JeremyB »

I was wondering why vehicles seem to be immune to bombardment... Especially in the case of air strikes, since trucks are mainly road-bound, they constituted primary targets. Yet, bombardments can kill tanks, but do not affect vehicles...
Shouldn't they particularly be affected by air strikes against HQs, which should represent air raids against the enemy logistical network?

For WitW, I can hardly imagine trucks immune to Jabo attacks in Normandy. If allied air strikes damage effects have been hugely overestimated, in terms of destruction, trucks were among the first victims...

True. There is no reason why they shouldn't count among bombardment losses. Or do they? Maybe they do, but are not recorded in the losses report?
