I know about the cost, I'm playing WaW v30a1 by PBEM, and I don't consider foot troops useful. I still have a few foot divisions in late '41, but I'm trying to provide at least some horses for them all.



Aha! That's the catch! I assumed you are talking about 'normal' AT ... (I haven't played WaW yet, and have NO idea what's going on there)
See, in 'normal' AT a horse unit moves 4 hexes on road AND most of the random games I keep playing don't have that much roads (OK, OK - some do...) so there's a lot of "off-road" movement in which there's not much difference.
I see your point though - very impressive figures.

bwheatly:
click on the unit picture on the main 'battle' map - in the centre column of tables in the upper-right part of the screen you'll see the part that says "StackPts" - this is stacking point value of a unit.
The effect is - as I get it - that you get ADDITIONAL casualties if you have more than 100 stack points in a hex that's being attacked or attacking. (zook08 - correct me if I'm wrong for WaW ... ) Although you can have as many as 150 stack points if you atack from three hexes simultaneously (+a 50% combat bonus) AND 200 stack points if you attack from four hexes (+a 100% combat bonus) Again - this is from 'normal' version - correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, that's it. Cheers!

P.S. I just read about some 'manpower' in one of the recent posts... can you enlighten me, please? Thanks!



Thanks srndac!

its basically that you start the scenario with a certain amount of manpower that you can use. 1 unit = 1 manpower. You get 100 more manpower for each turn so that way you can't really out produce the other guy. :) SO i'm going to have to go all tanks and expensive items since the 120 rifleman a turn is killing my manpower.

Does USSR surrender when i take leningrad, moscow & stalingrad?

I moved the plans from Malta becuase since i've secured greece and the middle east i dont get much enemy supplies moving through my territory.

Coming next turn though each front is building 2-3 MEDIUM tanks and 1-2 HEAVY tanks. That should bolster our beleaguered infantry units.

The Russians and American's both are outproducing us but we manage to hang on one more turn. While we are just one disaster away from complete collapse. Organized chaos.

Status: offline 		Here is our northern line. Notice the tanks around moscow now. One heavy tank gives you 65 PP right out of the box even without resting they are truly beasts. And it appears 1 will do just fine per unit! Though my supply usage went upto 22k that from i think 18k so i'm going to have to kill a lot of these buggers off per turn or i'll burn through my 78k reserves pretty fast.

I also added some tanks to the SS division by Stalingrad and at Riga(i think its called). I didn't want to move right up next to stalingrad yet since i spotted major atry there. I want to give my air units a turn or two to pulverize them to dust before i move in for the kill.

On a good note with everything i built my manpower is still going up!

If i can keep this up i might actually make a dent in their airpower.

The valient flyers of the 109th and 105th Air wings destroyed them one after another.
