ORIGINAL: cesteman Hey, I was wondering about the issue with RR repair units not being able to move if forced off rail lines. I know you said you'd fix it just wondering if your waiting to for other players to finish their games? The issue with the rail repair units was that they might reconstitute in a non-rail hex and then not be able to move. They have been set to a 'fixed' reconstitution location at Berlin so maybe this won't happen. The real point is not to get them involved in the fighting, they don't need to be right up at the most forward areas. Rail repair doesn't necessarily occur next to the unit, it occurs near the unit. quote:
Another thing I noticed, (and maybe it's my style of play) is the Russians advance against the axis allies in the south and beat them up a bit around turn 2. Just wondering because I was thinking of starting a new game. This shouldn't happen in enough force until turn 4. The reason there are issues there is that the Axis can rail units to that area and get things started before turn 4, so many of the Soviet units in that area are set to be released if an Axis unit attacks them or moves adjacent to them. So if you leave them alone, they will stay put until turn 4 also. That said, Elmer does occasionally find a few units that he can harass you with. Whenever this happens I like to see the .sal file from that turn so that I can see the exact cause, and then determine if an adjustment is necessary. Earlier we had some players start the scenario in hotseat mode, and this doesn't work at all, so there was no adjustment to be made. When I started my game last week, I caught a Soviet recon unit squeeking through the Hungarian lines, so I gave that unit an 'adjustment'. I think I said before that if anyone is planning to restart, contact me for the latest file. Since we started playtesting, we've made numerous adjustments. If there was anything major I would let everyone know, but so far we've had no problems. I've also been asked by a few if it is ok to restart. Of course! Ask Elmer, he doesn't mind! I'll send you the file now Mr. Stemen.
