ORIGINAL: Polbot I'm kind of curious about the organization selection, especially for Barbarossa South. When playing as Germans, actual Corps names are displayed, ie XXIV Corps. However for Russians we get Corps A, B, etc instead. Is this because of the frequent disbanding/destruction of Russian forces on the eastern front, making organization selection at this level largery pointless anyway? Pretty much, yes. Not only that, each of the letters represent a different "upgrade" type. So while you may be playing the typical "corps", the campaign will vary significantly depending on the Corps you choose. This is lifted from the DCG_Division_Type_Explanations.doc in the Manuals folder and should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect. quote:
Russian Infantry Division Type Explanation Rifle Division A This division type starts with Regular Infantry platoons and will eventually convert to Veteran Infantry platoons over the course of the Campaign. This division has heavy upgrades overall. Rifle Division B This division type starts with Regular Infantry platoons and will remain with the Regular Infantry platoon types through the course of the Campaign. This division has minor upgrades overall. Rifle Division C This division type starts with Green Infantry platoons and will eventually convert to Veteran Infantry platoons over the course of the Campaign. This division has moderate upgrades overall. Rifle Division D This division type starts with Regular Infantry platoons and will eventually convert to Guards Veteran Infantry platoons over the course of the Campaign.
