Status: offline 		Does anybody know why I cant select Odessa (or anywhere else outside the Baltic/North Sea) for Naval Ops?

I have KG54 at Kishinev and KG3 at Husi. Both in IV Fliegerkorps, in supply, July 1941. I can set them to Kiel, but not a port ten hexes away.

(BTW I know Flieger Fuhrer Ostsee are better at interdicting ports but they are currently turning Tallinn into a non-Dunkirk).

I'm playing the 1941-1945 campaign.

You have got to be kidding - no. Oh well, that means roll back a turn or two. The scroll bar only appears if you go looking for it.

Thanks!

when creating a new unit as the Soviets, is there a way to rename it at will or the game will select from a list of pre-determined names?

Not possible to rename, game will choose.

I was testing out bombing railways and noticed a discrepancy between the results on the Air Execution Phase Summary screen and the on map battle results. They are consistently different by a factor of around 4. I am not sure why this would be, also I cannae see a reference to it in the manual. Is this something to do with the rail interdiction lasting more than one turn (I think it might be 4 or 5)?

I thought you would divide the 656 by 10 and get 65 (rounding down).

No front line as such, but you can toggle city capture dates on/off from Map Info tab. They only show on closest zoom level.

In the posts "Planning map and history" above at design and modding you have some historical frontlines. I have most of them. But as said not ingame,. In WitE-1 it was possible to compare with history all the time.

Status: offline 		You will find the development team did that in both Axis and Soviet TO&E's. It lessens the turmoil of constantly changing TO&Es because of one or more missing line items. When the item becomes available it gets plugged in. Of course I could be wrong and there is an evil, hidden agenda designed to frustrate you.

I have some panzer divs waiting in Reserve for flak and light panzerjaegers. Meanwhile I have some full strength flak and light panzerjaeger support units ready to go to the front - can I scrap them to get the Panzers fitted out faster?

Any level of interdiction will prevent the usage of administrative movement through the hex. Leaving (not entering) hexes with higher levels of interdiction will impose increased movement costs and possibly extra losses in the form of disruptions, damaged and destroyed elements. (22.2.3.)

Administrative Movement rules are outlined in chapter 22.2.1. in the manual.

yes, I find from in-reserve disbands they go to the transit pool for one turn then become available so its quite an efficient approach.

I did a lot of this in my Axis GC later in 1944 as I disbanded a lot of SU to get the equipment into the divisions where I really needed it

think twice about the flak though, they maybe worth more to you in the West Theatre Box, you can pick up a few VP, maybe a few 'delayed' events, a bit off the Allied bombing - may add up to more than the value of the elements in the front line divisions?

I have been wanting to ask this for a long time. I have all of these russian tank units waiting for T-60's and are not set to refit meanwhile the pool of T34 and KV's build up. Based on GibsonPete's response I guess I should HAVE put them on refit and sent them to the front without T-60's. I didn't understand the TOE's worked that way.
Thank you bighinvegas for asking the question.

I know they help with reducing movement costs.

As far as subtleties of combat. Who knows?

They may and it is deemed so obvious they never bother to document in the manual. (seriously, this actually occurs)

But, in general, I try to avoid heavy woods with armor if I can.

I realise that this sort of comment is great fun to write, but why - seriously what does it add to your post?

very simple answer, the road affects the cost of the attack, the terrain effect is as stated in the manual so the defender gains as per 38.4.2 and both infantry and armour elements are affected as the terrain is treated as 'Dense'
