For the axis allied losses, are they shown somewhere else or are they all just lumped together?

Losses are lumped together. Here is a screen shot of part of the OOB. While it does not show losses it does show men and weapons in the armed forces by country.

Elmo, are there alert/emergency units that you can transfer over from a seperate theatre given a certain situation or are the reinforcements just on a timetable?

thanks,

For the german units, the level seems to be primarily at divisonal. I would think any incorporation of brandenburg units would be considered like a support unit. If i am not mistaken they primarily operated at strengths under company level (were they ever deployed as a full battalion?).

FJ units on the eastern front arrived in an Emergency role to help contain the Soviet winter offensive-first in the Leningrad sectorin Sept. 1941 (I and II FJR1) ( FJR3) then with units in AGS (I, II Bn FJR2.
Other units snet include the I and II falschirm pioneer battallion and II LLStr plus an assortment of small machinegun and artillery units.
in Feb 1942 a small battle group under Miendl was dispatched to Vyazma area east of Smolensk and then North to the leningrad sector. In May , the soviet 11th army with 2nd Shock group attacked which units of this battle group helped to contain (they well might have been the primary defenders i am not positive).

Actually, there was a plan in place to use FJ in the caucus theatre in an airborne drop but it was scrubbed.

personally, i think the Fj units should be incorporated into the game but there could be alimit placed on total number of FJ soldiers for all their units. once those units/men are burned out they are gone ie. their men are near irreplacable.

First of all: thanks for the AAR.
But - and sorry in case I'm in the wrong forum - your AIR LOSSES table after turn 1 mentions 4 Bf 109K4 losses. So far as I know from my books, the initial model of the K-version was produced in the winter of 1943 and released for mass production in march 1944. Where are those 190K coming from in June 41? Did I miss something ?

I have a couple of questions if you don't mind
what do the round white on black "tank" counters indicate?
What is the maximum lenght of the supply chain: from the source (railhead) to the HQ and from the HQ to the unit?

Ok three questions;
Do the Soviets have rail repair units like the germans or do they depend on the HQ pioneer battalions?

I think it would be easier if MG just published the manual :-)

I can't count... I have a fourth question

What happens when an HQ unit gets destroyed?

quote:

ORIGINAL: von Jaeger

...and I know you said that part of the benefit is that we can spot stuff to report back to HQ (and I am really not meaning to be picky): in the Combat report above it shows that there were 32 Russki AFV's in the OOB and yet there were 33 AFV's knocked out? Maybe worth a look?

And yes, I know the mantra: "This is the Alpha, this is the Alpha..."

Perhaps they're in Yugoslavia, or they're counting everything with some armour like the hordes of tankettes.

elmo: how are your air units doing in terms of fatique and operational strength, is the AI still managing them well?

Also: can a unit's TOE change based on unit quality, such as a Luftwaffe Feld Division becoming a veteran unit after being bloodied and not wiped out? I believe I read a discussion about Guards earlier, how Rifle divisions of a certain experience level could become Guards or the like. Do they change TOE automatically or do you have to basically recreate the unit, but as a Guards Rifle instead of regular Rifle division?

quote:

Even when the TOEs of a Guards unit and a non-guards unit are identical, the Guards unit often has a higher percentage of newer equipment. For example, a Guards Tank Corps in 1944 may have all T-34/85s while a regular Tank Corps may have a mix of T-34/85s and T-34/76s.

Are the reported losses for the enemy accurate or estimates?

Hi Elmo,

Looking through your units I didn't see the SS cavalry brigade anywhere. i noticed a few cavalry brigades in the south porbably Romaninas but didn't see the SS cavalry brigade attached to AGN. Is it attached to one of your Divisions?

cheers,
john
