That could give a feel of how the opponent played his  turn. No need to move any pieces during this partial replay, just set focus to each battle hex.

They show up as they were fought in CR if no sorting is enabled.

Leningrad - 3/24/2012 4:06:22 PM   
Tauroggen

Status: offline 		After reading many "after action reports" I find that Leningrads importance in the game lies mainly in the industry and manpower points, and a more active play of the Finnish troops.
As a consequence of that, many players argue to neglect the North (and even Moscow) and go for the South (because of the more industries there and because of the better tank war terrain)

Historically the German Army Command (OKH) picked Leningrad as an important target because after taking Leningrad there could supply be shipped via the Baltic Sea to Leningrad for Army Group North.
That would give AGN best supply status (as if sitting in Konigsberg), and would free much of the scarce railway cargo-space for the other Army Groups.

As I understand it now, this advantage after taking Leningrad is not built in the game now, or is it?

Status: offline 		Correct. In WiTE there are no limits on the amount of supplies per rail line (supposedly there will be in WiTW). So by the time you are taking Leningrad, your one rail line is already close enough to provide all the supplies that are needed to AGN, which means the Baltic Sea thing doesn't really matter.

In my PBEM game I have 2 construction regiments in each Army is this appropriate? What is optimal. Thanks!

I agree a no replay is a real bummer for me.......Was playing AACW what 5 years old. Grand Strategic map of all the USA and they managed to inlcude it......not to mention the grand daddy of them all WITP/AE :)

How do attachement at the ARMY level affect the ARMy re. Admin drag?

I have in some now 10 attachments to an ARMY. These have no effect on my command point for said ARMY? How do they adversly effect the ARMY then?

Status: offline 		Ok another 2 if I may;

When does the AP cost of creating divisions drop to 10 points? Or does it? It is April 30 /42 and all the divisions are 20 pts each.

How overloaded can one realistically go with Army command point overages? I have several with 25 pts.....Does the ADMIN attribute mitigate these command excesses I have placed on my units?

Thanks guys

Or is the combat activation solely computed by initiative check of the leader and the distance to the combat?

Yes, this factor is in. The "closer" you are to the commanding HQ the higher chances are to react.

Status: offline 		If anyone is interested I answered my own question through experimentation. Flammpanzer bns are not engineers. It really seems to me that they should count as such. That is afterall what flamethrower tanks are for isn't it -attacking fortifications and buildings.

Perhaps the devs will consider this as a minor tweek to put in a future patch?

Status: offline 		It was not exactly like an MD so we didn't treat it the same. The MD's were purely rear area commands, while I assume the MD was formed when there was a real threat that Moscow would be directly attacked and the area had to be prepared to defend against this.

Aircraft swaps - 6/26/2012 5:10:11 PM   
M60A3TTS


Posts: 4014
Joined: 5/13/2011
Status: offline 		8.1.5.1. MANUAL AIRCRAFT SWAPS
Players have the option to manually change (swap) the
aircraft model through an air group unit’s detail window
(see section 5.4.18), with possible aircraft models
listed when the “CHANGE” link has been toggled from
“Automatic” to “Manual” and models available for
change out highlighted in blue and selectable. Changing
the aircraft model in an air group unit will expend one
admin point, reduce the air group unit experience level
by two and may result in up to thirty percent of the new aircraft becoming damaged.

With all the patches, it's hard to keep up with what may be outdated info in the manual. I see exp levels in some cases dropping by 20, not 2 when doing swaps. If it's WAD, can someone tell me what the criteria is now?
