Timmeh -> RE: 1.05.59 rule changes? (2/3/2012 12:21:13 PM)

V1.05.59 – January 31, 2012
· New Features and Rule Changes
1. New Rule - During any Snow turns between December 1941 and April 1942 (inclusive),
and any blizzard turns in March or April 1942, German attack CV factors are divided by
1.5. Any missed check (admin or combat skill) causes the attack CV to be further divided
by 2. The displayed on counter attack CV will be divided by 1.5 during these turns.
2. New Rule - Soviet units attached to a Military District may change their HQ attachment at
no admin point cost (same as units attached to Stavka).
3. New Rule - The Axis player may disband German units that are frozen if they have an x
coordinate less than 20.
4. New Rule – Air HQ will share their support for ground elements at air bases under their
control. Note: Air HQs have never provided support for aircraft at airbases under their
control.
5. New Rule – Artillery (using on demand production) elements will not be produced for
replacements if the element is not in a unit’s OB. Example: If a unit with 37mm AT guns
changes it’s OB to one that requires a 47mm AT gun, no new 37mm AT guns will be
produced to use as replacements (only 37mm AT guns already in the pool will be used).
This will reduce the amount of production of soon to be obsolete equipment.
6. New Rule – Tank Army leaders get +1 added to their Mechanized rating in combat rolls
involving motorized units under their command.
7. Rule Change (section 9) - Changes to National Morale rules:
a. All Soviet units of size Brigade or smaller have a minimum national morale of 50.
b. The elite bonus for SS units is now only +5 in 1941, +10 in 1942, +15 1943 and later.
c. Shock Armies and Guards Armies no longer provide a morale bonus to units that
report to them (instead they provide a bonus of +1 to their leader’s admin rating).
d. National Morale of Soviets in 1942 is now 45. Starting with January 1943, the Soviet
National Morale increases by 1 each month, until it reaches 60 in March 1944.
8. Rule Change (section 7.6.2.2) - Changes to Command Capacity:
a. Stavka and OKH now have infinite command capacity (they will never be considered
overloaded). This is shown on screen as a command limit of 999.
b. Soviet Army Command Capacity is changed as follows: 6/41-8/41 – 24 9/41-3/42 –
21 4/42-9/45 – 18
c. Soviet Tank Army Command Capacity is changed to 15.
9. Rule Change (section 21.1.10.1) - The Soviet Manpower Multipliers in 1943, 44 and 45
are reduced by 5 (so they are now 35, 30 and 15 respectively). Including changes in
previous versions, the Soviet manpower multiplier table should now read 50,40,35,30 and
15.
10. Rule Change (section 7.6.4) - The Command Range of Soviet Army HQs is now 10 (was
15).
11. Rule Change (section 20.4.3.2) - The formula used to determine the Axis Rail Supply
Modifier has been changed. The 168 in the formula has been changed to 165, slightly
further reducing German supply deliveries due to this modifier.
12. Rule Change (section 18.1.1.2) - Destroyed German units that return to play are given a
morale equal to 30+(NM/4)+random (NM/4). The formula used to be 20+… There is no
change in the formula that sets their initial experience.
13. Rule Change (section 20.6.3) – The number of vehicles damaged and destroyed due to an
HQ Buildup has been increased by 25%.
14. Rule Change (section 18.3) - Static units that are below 60% of their TOE will
automatically be treated as if they are in refit mode during the logistics phase. Players that
do not want a unit to accept a lot of replacements should use the MAX TOE setting to
limit the size of the static unit.
15. Formula Change – Altered engineer values so that they are divided by 4 during a hasty
attack and are 0 if the attack is changed to a scouting attack.
16. Formula Change – Altered the ratio of vehicles damaged/destroyed due to supply
operations from 80% damaged/ 20% destroyed to 75% damaged/25% destroyed.
17. Formula Change – Changed the formula for exporting of ground and air equipment to
Axis Allies so exports are 5% of the current pool instead of 50%.
18. Formula Change – Reacting units (reserve and support units) can now get
river/winter/first turn disruption effects.
19. Formula Change – Improved support need calculation for air base units.
20. New Interface – Added air mission composition information to the battle site (F11) Show
Details display. For each side the number of aircraft performing the functions of bombing
(or reconnaissance if a recon mission), escort, sweep and CAP are listed. Since version
1.05.18, a portion of escort may be assigned to the sweep function, which allows those
fighters to attack enemy CAP first in order to gain air superiority prior to the mission.
21. New Interface – The current required support for aviation units in an air base is now
shown on the air base unit detail screen on the Support/Need line. Example: Support/Need
240/120 (AV 116). This is the portion of the support need that is needed for aircraft (as
opposed to ground elements). Unlike the Support and Need numbers which are only
updated during the logistics screen, the AV number will continually update during a
player’s turn. This is intended to allow players the ability to better track the aviation
support needed as they transfer aircraft to and from air bases.
22. Interface Change – The game now switches to normal mode (F1) before the logistics
phase. Also, the game turns off the map popups during the logistics phase.
23. Interface Change – When displaying a unit’s current supply needs, the consumption need
is now subtracted from the general supply need.
24. AI Improvements – Many AI changes including reactivating and improving routines that
look to create encirclements. Improved some cases where the defensive line forming
routine was breaking down. Improved the AI’s calculation of possible attacks it could
make. Improved the ability of the AI to track down and neutralize weak enemy units in its
rear area. Improved routine that determines whether the AI player is on the strategic
offensive or the strategic defensive.
25. Formula Change – Increased the chance of equipment getting upgraded/swapped out if it
is not in the current OB.
· Bug Fixes
1. Fixed a bug in moving oil from off map locations.
2. Fixed an HQ resupply bug and a potential overflow bug in the supply function.
3. Fixed some bugs in the unit bombing routine. Tactical bombers and FB can attack targets
with their forward weapons (low alt attacks). High alt attacks can use only GP
bombs/rockets and fire (incendiary) bomb types.
4. Fixed a bug that allowed escorting fighters on recon missions to take recon photos.
5. Fixed a bug where the recon value provided by air flights could get incorrectly reduced.
This should provide a more even distribution of recon results among units in or near the
recon target hex.
6. Fixed a few interface bugs where mouse clicks were not being recognized on the aircraft
reserve filter dropdown and the right unit bar.
7. Fixed a bug that was preventing units from surrendering during the logistics phase.
Surrender is now possible if the nearest supplied friendly unit is greater than 25 hexes
away.
8. Fixed a bug in the Editor that was preventing the AI objective circles from appearing
during the “set AI objectives mode”.
9. Fixed a bug where the recon CV value was displayed on the unit counter even when Fog
of War was turned off.
10. Fixed a bug where escorts for ground support missions could get reduced in number in
cases where a large amount of units were involved in the battle. Also fixed some air
mission formation bugs.
11. Fixed a bug where HQ units with 0 MPs (example: Military Districts) were not sharing
their support.
12. Fixed a bug where support units attached to combat units did not appear in the CR HQ
chain and were not adding to the men/gun/afv totals on the CR screen.
13. Fixed a bug where the ammo requirement was incorrectly calculated when flying
transport missions.
14. Fixed a bug where the production pools were not clearing when a nation surrendered.
15. Fixed a crash bug in the Axis attack AI.
16. Fixed a bug where some aircraft were glide bombing when they should have been dive
bombing.
17. Fixed a bug where the TOE of units could go above 100% when taking replacements.
18. Fixed a bug where air interdiction of reacting reserve units could corrupt battle reports
and statistics.
19. Fixed a bug where destroyed units were not shown correctly in the battle reports.
· Data and Scenario Changes
Scenario Changes
1) Added a new small scenario, Demjansk Pocket 1942. This scenario is used as an example
in the editor manual which will be released within the next 45 days.

Most significant change is that there is now a Marder Battalion that upgrades to
Hetzers.
· Added six JagdPanzer Battalions (1st-6th) that were formed in the late war for
defense of Germany (Jan 45). They are Hetzer shell battalions that will get filled
out with any assault guns.
Changes in Device and OB files
1) Miscellaneous facing changes for some ground element weapons.
2) Miscellaneous changes to fuel and ammo costs for some devices.
3) TOE(OB) changes:
· 43a Guards Mechanized Corps (OB 84) renamed to 43 Guards Mechanized Corps;
· 43b Guards Mechanized Corps (OB 85) renamed to 44 Guards Mechanized Corps
and Last Year/Last Month changed from 43/12 to 44/10;

life extended to 6/44 and upgrades to 44 Jagdpanzer Battalion;
· 44 Jagdpanzer Battalion (522) identical to 42b Jagdpanzer Battalion except
equipped with Hetzers and service life from 7/44 to end of the War.
5) Added the IS-2 M1943 (basically an IS-1 with 122mm gun) (0829) and SU-85M
(basically an SU-100 with 85mm gun) (0830) and adjusted production dates and build
limits and upgrade paths accordingly of IS-1 M1943 (0763), IS-2 M1944 (0759) and SU-
85 (0766).
6) To address the shortage/overage problems cited on the forum the following ground
element changes/additions have been made (these should reduce build ups of Hetzers and
Jagdpanzer IVs in the pool and reduce shortages of Nashorns and Jagdpanthers):
· Jagdpanzer IV (32) changed from Tank Destroyer to Assault Gun;
· Hetzer (39) changed from Tank Destroyer to Assault Gun;
· Jagdpanzer IV/70(V) (41) changed from Tank Destroyer to Assault Gun;
· Nashorn (38) changed from Heavy Tank Destroyer to Tank Destroyer;
· Jagdpanther (42) changed from Heavy Tank Destroyer to Tank Destroyer, these
last two changes to prevent Nashorns and Jagdpanthers from intermingling with
Elefants and Jagdtigers.

this is going to have a really big impact in ongoing games on late 42 and beyond...almost every army will be severely overloaded and the cost of transferring corps is prohibitive [X(]

What was it before?

2. New Rule - Soviet units attached to a Military District may change their HQ attachment at
no admin point cost (same as units attached to Stavka).

Plus for Russians.

5. New Rule – Artillery (using on demand production) elements will not be produced for
replacements if the element is not in a unit’s OB. Example: If a unit with 37mm AT guns
changes it’s OB to one that requires a 47mm AT gun, no new 37mm AT guns will be
produced to use as replacements (only 37mm AT guns already in the pool will be used).
This will reduce the amount of production of soon to be obsolete equipment.

Very good change for everyone.

6. New Rule – Tank Army leaders get +1 added to their Mechanized rating in combat rolls
involving motorized units under their command.

Plus for Russians

7. Rule Change (section 9) - Changes to National Morale rules:

Plus for Russians
- for Germans

13. Rule Change (section 20.6.3) – The number of vehicles damaged and destroyed due to an
HQ Buildup has been increased by 25%.

More nerfing of HQ build-ups. We alrdy lose 10% of AFV's for just moving 30+ MP's. So if you do a HQ you lose 35% of all AFV's for moving, lol

This or course does nothing to effect "panzer pushing" as some call it. It only nerfs the crap out of the guys that use HQ build very little.

Silly rule change that has no effect of guys like me and MT. Because its based on a %.

Minus for Germans who use HQ build up very little on effect no panzer pushers.

So basicly all plus for Russian side and all negitive for Germans?

The only thing that matters is morale.

I did not see that the issues with spamming bombing of units was addressed or spam attacking.

Did I miss anything?

9. Rule Change (section 21.1.10.1) - The Soviet Manpower Multipliers in 1943, 44 and 45
are reduced by 5 (so they are now 35, 30 and 15 respectively). Including changes in

It means zip. Its all about morale. You can't hardly attack any during 43 anyways vs an equal enemy.

Your troop levels will grow.

They had to put that in because of the uber nerfs to Germans during 1942 starting with the snow nerf.

This means standerd Russian OOB's will be atleast in the 7+ million range/ up from the standard 6 million range as both sides will not be able to do **** until a clear turn.

So your Russian OOB will by just fine come 43 because most German players will not beable to have an offensive during 42.

WE ARE BACK TO THE OLD WORLD WAR ONE on the eastern front again.




Speedysteve -> RE: 1.05.59 rule changes? (2/3/2012 1:45:52 PM)

Is an amazing huge German nerf beat down. A russian fanboys dream come true.

1942 now goes back to the WWI on the eastern front as it was before 1.05.

7 million plus Russian OOB's with belt after belt of forts as the game was before 1.05. The combat ratio's blow because of the nerf to them after 1v1=2v1 was removed.

Just a sad sad patch that sets the game back month's.

The patch is nothing more then another bignerf beat down for the Germans and more Red love.

That one rule alone is a HUGE HUGE game changer.

Plus all the other little red bonuses and little German nerfs.

World War 1 on the eastern front is back.

Its just a sad sad day for WitE

Personall attacks is the standard MO of 2by3 fanboys.

Flaviusx -> RE: 1.05.59 rule changes? (2/3/2012 2:00:13 PM)

Pelton, you're seriously underestimating, or rather completely overlooking, the hefty Soviet command nerf. 18 CP armies from 42 on is a real pain in the ass.

Also, you're kidding yourself if you think the March madness stuff was ok.

the problem with games as has been the problem for the player base now for a yr is most of these patch realy unbalance on going games. Thats one reason why so very few get to the late war yrs.

As far as our game goes its a kick in the nutts for you because we are past March 1942 and a bonus for me if anything.

Most of the changes in this patch effect 1941-March 1942 which has a huge impact on the rest of the game. Most poeple just dont under stand how a few little tweaks can unbalance the game.

The manpower minus were put inbecause 1942 now is basicly 1943 again as it was before 1.05.

I am fine with calling the game a draw if you like. The patch is really a hard hit on you in our game.

At some point it be nice to get away from these game changing patchs that screw up on going games.

All that was needed was a small morale plus to Russian side to bring game back in balance for 1942, instead we have that plus a UBER nerf.

2by3 does this patch after patch, they swing the game way to far one way then way to far back the other.

1.05 was so close, now wite is back is screwed up again.

That command stuff means very very little because as you know 1942 will be back to static as it was before 1.05.

Which means the Red Horde can grow and grow as the German player can do nothing about it.

Katza vs 76mm and Pelton vs Kamil is what the player base can now expect again.

The standard Red Horde will be 7 million plus by June 1942 with fort belt after fort belt as per pre 1.05

Thats just the way Russian players like it. WWI on the eastern front come 1942.

The combat ratio is a joke in 1942 so attacking will be totally out of the question in 1942 again vs and equal player.




Flaviusx -> RE: 1.05.59 rule changes? (2/3/2012 2:11:18 PM)

Pelton, it means a lot. In practice it probably means even worse C&C for the Sovs than already exists because it's highly unlikely they can afford to put the entire Red Army into 18 CP armies. That is to say, you're going to see a lot more overloading at the army level and therefore more missed command rolls, and that affects everything. The only mitigating factor here is that STAVKA got fixed.

There will be no massive fort belts. That got fixed already and isn't coming back. You do not need March madness to prevent fort belts because it's incredibly hard to dig in during poor weather. All March madness was doing was giving the Axis a highly premature offensive in 1942.






Speedysteve -> RE: 1.05.59 rule changes? (2/3/2012 2:14:03 PM)

It's not worth it Flavio. I feel Pelton will always see things through Axis Tinted Glasses.

Pelton - Of course some parts of the patch favour one side or the other. That the idea of tweaks, some affect both sides and some more than the other.




Speedysteve -> RE: 1.05.59 rule changes? (2/3/2012 2:17:46 PM)

Pelton - IMO you won't be happy with WitE until the Axis can stomp all over Russia, they can build oodles of everything, have no historical limitations, have flying Panzers that can travels 1000's of miles continuously away from Railheads etc. My suggestion is you use the editor to make your version of the game and be happy with it.

No you see Russian players rotating units in and out. By 44 Russian morale is HIGH and Germans low because game is based on a time line and not in game results.

This means Russian Infantry units will have 2x what German infantry have.

The lines in 42 will be static and the red horde will easly number 9 to 10 million inlate 43.

The snow nerf is a game changing nerf. Its huge.

The front will be static from March to June thats 120k replasements for 14 turns or 1.4 million + russians.

PLUS 4 months to build fort belt after fort belt.

The command nerf and the manpower nerf just holds the horde in check a little longer so the games dont end before January 1945.




zxr8421 -> RE: 1.05.59 rule changes? (2/3/2012 2:19:38 PM)

Hi pelton
I won't hold a 42 game for rule changes since so many effect has been spent and the fun part about to start [:D]Will fight until the end.

Again this is a personal attack not based on truth but a lie you made up. standard Mo for you.

I have have said more then once that the Russians need a tweak for 1942.

See I like talking about the game and not making up fairytales.

This patch is a nerf not a tweak.

bdtj1815 -> RE: 1.05.59 rule changes? (2/3/2012 2:21:54 PM)

Which of the changes in this patch will effect present games. I know, I think, that data changes will not apply but what about other things?

At present the game I am playing is only at turn 5, would a re-start be the best option?
