This then brings us to a bug or a manual misprint: (pg. 473) "If this (Mis Pct and Esc Pct) is set at 100% it will pick the
number it thinks it needs and if these are lacking then that mission WILL NOT take place."

With both Mis Pct and Esc Pct set at 100%, the first ground support missions will fly with escorts. Later into the turn ground attacks in the same area (in this case my drive on Leningrad) will result in 90 to 100% A2A losses for my unescorted bombers. The escorts are lacking but the mission WILL take place.



Perhaps game count partial escorts as escorts, thus sending unescorted bombers.

I am not sure I am familiar or have seen this - could you perhaps post a screenshot of where you see it?

And to clarify you do not mean "Formation Type"? For example with Formation Type you may have "Front","Army","Construction",etc. Or you may be seeing the types of HQ capacities that are covered in 21.11.3?

Thanks!

No, it's not the Formation Type.

If you click on a HQ counter on the map, opening its Unit's display, up in the header, you can see, among others, 'Formation Role', that can assume : 0=none, 1= security, 2=defend, 3=attack

Is there a way to see what units are unfrozen each turn? When I use the "I" key I only see the reinforcements and transfers; not the units that became unfrozen.

Thanks for the help.

"Lost and/or got transit pool. Depends on plane damage pct and air base isolation status"

To view the Transit Pool, go to Production, then at the bottom click on "All Pools" twice.

Status: offline 		Is there somewhere that past withdrawals are listed? I sometimes find a unit missing, but I have no idea why. I generally ASS-U-ME that it was withdrawn, but am not 100% certain. This is especially the case with air units (in my current game a buttload of units just disappeared, and I'm thinking they were withdrawn, and know at least some were, but would like to be able to see for sure).

In the campaign - which I haven't started - it might be nice to know where they went as well.

construction units can be handy at that level, as they can then be allocated fairly widely.

OKH/Stavka can be handy either to hold SU that you are not yet sure/ready to allocate on or as a place to refit low TOE SU (only really happens if also on a NSS) as opposed to sending back to the reserve.

but in general, get your combat related SUs into the immediate tier of HQs commanding your combat units (so corps for the axis, army for the Soviets)

read 13.1.3, basically:




also 13.3.6 for some limits.

Easiest way if the unit meets the criteria above is to change the HQ on the unit tab to the desired theatre.

Neither selecting AOG or air group via airport screen let's me choose the Italians planes. I can select all german aog and air groups but not the italians. Even if I choose italian bomber aog, the torpedo bombers don't show up!

Anyone enlighten me, please? But also, so I can learn how I'm failing to find such things, where in the manual is this info, about this symbol, found? Anyone know?

Many thanks.

Status: offline 		loki, I got 4 questions regarding the depots popup window. I cannot find this infos in manual.

(1.) When you hover over a depot and look at the first line (where population is shown) in popup, what does the (number) in parentheses mean behind the word "port"?
I thought it means the level of the depot (f.e. level 2 for import port), but this number seems not to show the port level, because it is always 3 at every port in my game (even for export ports). Then I thought it is the size of the port - but it isn´t the size.

(2.) Some depots show in the depot popup values f.e. "Rail: 30.000 : 30.000" - what did this values mean? I think, first value is the free rail capacity and second is the max rail capacity in this hex/depot?

(3.) When clicking the button in topbar which shows a train icon.. there are circles with values at some depots at the map - did this values show the free rail capacity at this hex (same value as shown in depots popup "30.000:30.000")?

(4.) Why are these circles at the depots not shown at every depot?

Thanks again for your help

1- (2) is for an import port, (3) for an export port - its in 25.7.1 but not explicitly repeated elsewhere (should have been)

2 - capacity - see below but the first number is the theoretical maximum, the second number is the current max, usually relates to railyard damage

3 - I think so, not too sure what you are referring to but if its the number inside the circle that shows when you press F2 then its the remaining rail capacity (ie trains) at that location

4 - only shows if the railyard is size 2 or more as that is where the rail movement capacity is generated. Note the number is also reduced from its notional value if the railyard is damaged

But what I really want to do is to centre the map on this airfield to see where it is. How do I do that?
