Many a regiment would have folded before this happened to them....but they held the line. I may have to send them back to Berlin to recruit for the Fuhrer ( how do you spell Fuhrer ? ).

Status: offline 		Here's the front lines near Leningrad at the start of turn 82. Notice that Curt has left the front lines wide open. I think he did that thinking that the mud season was going to start on turn 82 and it didn't yet. So I sent an email to Curt asking him if he wanted a do-over.




EDIT: It turns out that all Curt's forts were withdrawn in turn 82 and he didn't know about it. And if you don't replace those forts with another unit the hex remains empty so.....

EDIT: Here's what Curt has to say about the withdrawl of the forts:
"I never bother checking expected reinforcements. I figured a withdrawal this large would have been mentioned in the briefing. Not just the fort units, but every unit with the same icon colors. We're talking two entire armies plus major portions of several others. All told, it amounted to over 100 divisions. Some were on garrison duty but many were holding crucial sectors of the line, like at Leningrad.

This changes everything. You stand a good chance of winning if you can exploit my monumental blunder. Anyway, I'm done whining. Here's my moves."

I agree with Curt about mentioning this in the briefing. All you guys making mods to FITE: if you're going to make a withdrawl this large maybe you could make mention of it in the briefing so guys aren't caught like Curt and I were....yes it happened to me as well in my first game with Karri.

Disband? I dont prefer this rule in fite scenario, it ruins it.

All Curt's forts were withdrawn from the game. I suppose he could have disbanded them instead but then they would have had to be on a supplied city hex to do that according to the rules. I agree that the withdrawl of all those forts without sufficient warning in the briefing can catch the unwary player by surprise and CAN ruin the game for that player. Maybe Curt wants to switch sides now?

Event: 275, German Transportation collapses Due To Heavy Rain Sup -5
Trigger turn: 31 (October 5th, 1941).
Effect: Supply 2- (Axis).
Value: 10.
 
Event: 283, German Supply Efficiency Increases Due To Frozen Ground
Trigger turn: 43 (November 16th, 1941).
Effect: Supply 2+ (Axis).
Value: 5.
 
I have yet to find where the Axis recovers the other 5 supply. So at the moment it appears the Axis player plays the entire scenario short five supply points from turn 31 on to the end.

If I'm wrong I would appreciate a correction.

Holy smoke! You've found a bug in the scenario. Good catch. The narrative says 5 supply but the event value is 10. So obviously the event value should be 5 instead.

Status: offline 		The withdrawal thing was my own fault for not checking the reinforcement schedule.  As a designer myself, I hate having to spell out every little detail for players who don't take the time to learn the game.  So there it is.

Larry could have waltzed into Leningrad, but for the grace of God the mud season finally came.  Now I'm rushing reinforcements to the area as fast as the rail system can carry them.  So when the weather breaks and the '42 campaign season starts Larry will be able to jump off from Leningrad's doorstep.  This will be an interesting summer.

If I'm wrong I would appreciate a correction.



Look at event 283,290,297 each gives a +5 supply add to the axis player, while 275 and 286 takes 10/5 supply in total there is an effect of Zero. With turn 89 the supply level has reached the old level.

So everything is fine, just the written text is wrong. But there is another mature Bug FW 190 "late" occours 100 turns earlier and even 10 turns eralier than the fw 190 "early"

iirc it ist 159/169. actually fw 190 late should be 259.

best greetings

What's hte point of that tho? You can't move through that hex either so that division is serving no function that I can see?

The function he is serving is that I can't attack that unit, so I can't make it move and I'll have to work around it somehow unless and until Curt moves it.

When I moved him in there the ground was frozen, and thus fair game for attack.

I guess it gives an immovable "ZOC" on adjacent hexes that can't be driven away
