ORIGINAL: Joel Billings I am about to go offline for 4 days. Just wanted to ask where your German game stands in the context of these discussions. Are you just too good, so your experience must be thrown out and your techniques cannot be learned from, or have even you been slowed down with latest versions? I suppose you think that if you played both sides your Russian player would easily win? Our schedule is terrible until the end of July with critical WitW work and everyone taking vacations (at 2by3 and Matrix) and Historicon coming up, so I would not expect any changes for at least a month. But first some consensus of what is needed must be determined. If I follow the rule changes correctly, the following morale gain rule has been changed as noted: If a units morale is below 50, and is in refit mode --> If a units morale is below 50, and is in refit mode and more than 10 hexes from an enemy unit So both items Pelton suggests to elminate are if over 10 hexes from enemy. Yes, they were by design in order to allow units in the rear to quickly improve to a minimum morale level (50). I don't think we'd ever want to eliminate these rules entirely, but perhaps they could be changed to a different minimum morale level (45, or NM not to exceed 45 if you want to keep the Axis Allies down). Michael, your idea for a change has a different impact in it does reduce the impact of some NM gains, but still allows a Soviet player that keeps units in the rear refitting to get units to 50. I'm not saying one is better, just that they are two different changes. I appreciate the feedback from everyone. I'll try to take a look at this thread when I return next week and before I leave for my 25th marriage anniversary vacation. I was hoping for more interest on this question. I found this thread ("Please fix Soviet morale in 1941, its broken.") by Michael T, and a reply post by Joel, but it is quite old but it never really came to a conclusion, and I don't really know how relevant it is, and if a fix was implemented. I still find it odd that its pretty easy to have a Russian division recover 8 points of morale in two turns back up to 45 (37 to 41 to 45). Maybe there were other threads after this and I simply did not find them. In any event- does anyone know offhand, is this WAD? Thanks guys, it will take me a while to get back up to speed on this beast!
