I'm in the 2nd week of March '43 in one of my current games and AGS has not split into Army group A and B but instead I have Army group South and Army group A. Not sure if this is correct - anyone else seen this?

7.6.7 states:

... Army Group B to Army Group South (4/43) to Army Group North Ukraine (4/44)

but it's not 4/43 in your game yet, so something seems not quite right. It should not have any effect, though.

Did the units that was under AGS before this reassign to OKH?

Thanks Gingerbread.

Not all of them. The 6th, 17th, and 1st panzer armies were under AGS and were re-assigned to OKH. I had a few corps that were directly attached to AGS (after 11th army withdrew) and they were automatically re-assigned to army group A. I agree it should not matter, I'm just hoping it's not a indication that there may be more problems coming. I have a lot of time invested in this game and want to see it through to the end.

The bolded I think is serious enough that you should consider filing a bug in the tech forum, and you might mention the AGB --> AGS conversion date as a possible issue as well.

I my games I have seen the variants:
AGS to AGA and AGB in 1941
AGS to AGA and AGS in 1942
AGS to AGA and AGB in 1941 and AGB reconverted to AGS

And I didn't see happen anything uncommon. But I still don't know what triggers these variants.

In all my games it has always just been AGS to AGS/AGA. Never seen AGB as far as I can recall.

Might be a AGS->ABG renaming rule I am unaware of, will have to reread the manual again...

I looked at the manual and it seems as though it should originally be AGA and AGB. I posted this in the tech forum as well.

Right, it should be. But in whatever the split of the initial AGS results, its a bargain in command capacity. In the end I don't care anymore about the designation of the Army Groups after AGS has split.
