OKH is hoping the Soviet's have not see the gap in the line, and are expected to take Moscow
in force by mid October.



Wow. That close to Moscow this early in the game. I'm impressed.

Thanks, it been a battle so far.

Quick question - How is this part handled by the game? See pic below. Turn 13 came up, and there was an "Increase in Soviet war production" according to the recent news..

Soviet Replacements on turn 12 = 63%. Increased to 79% on turn 13. Moscow lost on turn 12 reduces replacements to 53% [for 12 turns].

Both files use Notepad, so if you open them with another program the format may get scrambled.

ok. I think I got it. I was expecting to see a news message with the reduction of replacements due to the capture of Leningrad.

Thanks.

I guess his supply isn't an issue down this road.
He must be anticipating my advance to these road/rail way... lol

I agree with you, but I think Ralph is pretty busy right now. I don't know enough about the code to be able to offer a useful suggestion, but I was thinking something along the lines of 'if Elmer is leaving an area to reach a better position, and the vacated position contains a bridge, then blow it'. Obviously, it can't be this simple, and sometimes Elmer doesn't blow bridges at all. But as it is currently, he is killing himself supply-wise by destroying the bridges in his line of communication, especially those over the major rivers.

Funny thing, the troops that you see engage with my troops are recently arrived ones,
and then the bridge was blown. Good for me to some degree, but as you said, not for them.

14SEP41 -
Operation Thor's Hammer is moving along nicely. Weather is holding, lead elements of the battle group
have reached the outer defenses of Moscow. Follow on troops are massing in the breech for further effort
into Moscow.

and both times the AA unit at the airfield didn't engage in the battle?



I thought the AA was suppose to respond to attacks if at the location of an air attack.

Does AA have to be set to "tactical" to respond?

stupid thing.. If they don't help defend, what the point of AA units??

As you can see the flak unit has been in place for some time due to the 100% supply and
readiness.

Any ideas? Does AA have to be "on top" of the stack to respond?

I don't think it needs to be on top to respond but if you'll turn on the sitrep logs we might be able to get more
detail about the battles. I seem to remember something about battles that don't really occur in the hex you
think they happen in. The AA unit may not have fired because the interception occurs in an adjacent hex
or something. We'd need the logs to know for sure. Plus an expert like Bob Cross to interpret for us.

Thanks Larry. I think I will do a quick test with a save game and try a few things and report back on results.
I'm putting the AA units on "Tactical" status to see if they respond to an airfield attack.

No joy on my few tests. I tested in "Tactical" and "dug in" modes, the Me-111's were defending themselves still.

Frustrating... lol

Status: offline 		I don't have anything helpful to contribute, but the unit has the AA Icon, so it shouldn't have anything to do with 3xBb or the issue that was designed to solve. I will suggest that one instance doesn't indicate an issue, someone would have to keep track of at least ten instances, preferably more.

From the TGW design standpoint, many of those AA units were included specifically for airbase defense. I've noticed that Elmer will reduce his number of airfields if AA units are in the location. Bridge attacks also.

I conducted a few more tests on a soviet base, and the AA sitting there didn't engage. I will get another sitrep post for viewing.

Edit: well, different cases, I had only fighter units in the airfield, but I see that your bombers took casualties as well. Hard to think that they took part in the "furball". Check the "toaw.log" as Klink explained to me in the other thread.

Weather has improved this week in the AO. Panzer divisions organizing within the pocket,
7th AK is tasked with taking Kalinin and capturing the airfield there as well. The airfield
is needed to help support the push into Moscow.

Final decision is to press straight in, or wrap around from the north. It appears to be an opening
north of the defenders line.. Question is, what lays in waiting around that corner???

After a hard fight initial battle to breach the outer defenses, the 86th Infantry division pushed
their way into the center of Moscow. Follow on troops are trying to catch up and widen the gap to
maintain a line of communications with the forward division.

Also, Kalinin was taken. The airfield is operational and supporting the forward attacks and interdiction
efforts.

Got a unit question for ya.

Axis ReichsFuhrer-SS, 2. SS Inf Bde shows a "motorized infantry" icon. But when you look at the unit detail,
it lists "Foot movement" as it's special abilities. Was it meant to be motorized or not?
