To expand on that; the ability of a large amount of units being kept in supply by a small port as opposed to being in beachhead supply, thereby allowing them to rout after losing a combat cannot really be justified?

That's a good point, although I myself do have a minor issue about the way some towns are shown as little dots on the map, when they were a bit more important than that.

I'll add your comment to the list - thanks.

Could we get a graphic or a mod making the black dots something a little bigger and better?

Somebody made a map that had the name of every town on it, but I don't think he shared it as a mod. Maybe something like the towns in the red box, but better, with a few different layouts. This took me about 10 minutes, but I would prefer if the devs created this as it might be overwritten by new patches...

Really liked that last one Markus. I too have the feeling I'm missing something not having major bridges around, they were after all important. You can either blow them up (with X-change of probability of failure to do so) and you'd have to repair them as well with engineers. Great choice of using that particular fond type, matches the map quite well. I do think however that including roads for supply, uhm, well the devs would have to do a serious rewriting of code.
Yeah adding the names of towns/ cities on the map sure does add to historical flavor.

Agreed - I was thinking about the next game, I guess. Europe? GOT to have roads and bridges for Western Europe...

Or how about a road net with bridges that affect movement and supply

In my current game, with patch 1.03 b6, I was able to combine two regular cav divisions and one mountain cav division into a cav corps; is this supposed to be allowed?

redmarkus4, yes liked your version with the updated town graphic, much better than a dot.

names are good to but i can see how it does get a bit overloaded with the other map i have just downloaded to!

Yeah, I'll have some of that.
I'd certainly settle for railways doubling up for major roads from a road movement perspective.The lack of bridges is a serious omission in my book.It was the first thing I noticed when I opened the game up, "What, no bridges???".One of the most strategically important WWII objectives missing from a WWII strategy game.
The towns look good.Would be nice if they had slightly more significance though.All I can think of is that they could be used for drawing extra supplies if an HQ was based in the town.Not sure though.

Further to my previous point about Italian and Rumanian reinforcement squadrons having no planes.

Going through the editor I found that all reinforcement squadrons have no planes. They start to gather these from the pools when they arrive in the National Reserve.

Which works for German squadrons but it appears there are not enough Italian and Rumanian planes in the pools?

Which raises another question, squadrons arrive, take planes from pool, then withdrawal turns later.
Do these planes then return to the pool or are they lost?

This has a big effect on axis minors with limited production and resources. And they shouldn’t just disappear to where?

Anyone have an answer for VC?

I encountered some surprising weirdness last night. I launched multiple air attacks on a German stack; in the 3rd attack the leader of the HQ in the stack was killed, then in the 4th attack the first replacement leader died and was replaced. Replacement #2 immediately died, a replacement #3 shows up and immediately died; the pattern continued to the point I tried to click the exit link to end the carnage. I lost of track of the leader deaths but it was at least 8, perhaps maybe a dozen.

It happened again; I had multiple air attacks on an Axis minors stack.  The last attack killed about 6 leaders trying to take command of the 5th Rumanian Corps.
