he's expensive so either save the AP for a few turns or send him to an army command. You can only afford to move him MD-Front once you get the December AP boost.

It seems like there is a difference between conquering a port versus conquering a land locked city. Eg, if you conquer Riga and Minsk on turn 1, with Riga you can allocate construction units and AA units on Turn 1 but with Minsk you cannot assign either on Turn 1. I think the option appears in Turn 2 for Minsk. The difference seems to apply for all coastal versus land locked cities.

If you build a depot in Minsk on Turn 1, there is still no option to assign const/AA units.

Is there a reason for this difference?


yes, you can't attach the turn a depot is built, which is what you do at Minsk. But in a port you get an auto depot so its treated as already there.

not sure why the distinction but it was the same in WiTW so I presume is a product of the wider logistics system

How does 124 vehicle factories in the factory navigation table (with no damage) translate to 61 active and available factories producing 610 vehicles in the logistic phase report? Some production coefficient for the year?

For the Soviets, from 1942 onwards there is a multiplier of 0.55. (germans 0.7)

Maths dont quite add up so I suspect each factory has the multiplier applied individually as opposed to the sum of the factories x the multiplier. (or there is hidden damage/delay)



124 x 0.55 = 68.2 is a bit from 61 x 10 = 610 total produced, but this seems a reasonable explanation.

no there is no direct freight cost to the move map-reserve, just part of the abstraction around this concept

not sure, maybe best posted in the tech support sub-forum.

I'm seeing much the same in my current axis MP game with my fuel stores dropping by around 100k per week (seemingly regardless of what I actually do) and oil by 10k.

so its not your game, its a generic issue but I'm not sure it really matters. I opened an axis save for early 1944 (from my late beta Soviet AAR) and it looks like the drop stopped in mid-42 and they have plenty. Certainly looking at the fuel in air groups and Pzr formations that all seems fien.

So I suspect its a display issue, but don't claim to understand the production system (I just file it in the category 'things happen')

Roger

edit: Jukipo's AAR - https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=5016575&mpage=7&key=� has some production charts that mirror what I saw in my older AI game so it does seem to be pretty fixed regardless of player agency

Reviewing Results of Air Phase
Is there any way to see which air missions (which air group running each mission) resulted in the operational losses/flak losses/a2a losses? I can only seem to find the total on the losses screen.

Any rules of thumb for rotating understrength air units to reserve (e.g. Less that 50% ac in air group, less than 10%)?


you'll need to look at the individual battle screens, the final tab will show you action by air group (usually split down into a number of smaller collection of planes).

rotating really is art not science. I tend to rotate at 50% for the Soviets, not to protect the air group as such but that it will often fill up with low experience pilots, who then just die and need to be replaced. Putting it in the reserve, the new pilots will train up to the NM (+ any Gds bonus), so set up a sort of rotation system around that. I'd say from 1942-44 you should have about 40% of the VVS in the reserve at any one time - after that your losses start to drop (better planes, less LW) and they can safely fill out on map.

for the axis, often just putting a unit to rest is all you need to do, it'll draw down the missing pilots and be in decent shape.

I think the move damage can't be repaired more quickly, since the basic idea is to give the Soviets their historical (near enough) industrial production. If they got extra damage (bombing most likely) then yes you could speed up the recovery of that element

Status: offline 		Looking at the production screen it shows 1,292 in the 76.2mm M27 Inf gun pool. 477 units have it in their TOE. I click on the Ground Element Map and it shows only 548 in Pool with 90 in the (Trans). What is the difference between the 1,292 and 548? Are these guns somewhere else?
related question, looking at my reserve pool I have many artillery units that use that gun and they are on refit but they are not pulling these units out of the pool fast enough. Is there some limit on how many can be added to units each turn?

BTW, this game is so deep I lose track of time looking at the data and 4 hours later I need to eat. Great game.

In front of the german-rumanian advance in the south, I m trying to evacuate Odessa factories via the factory navigation screen
I can evacuate a number of factories (eg "Kiev to Omsk in 0 turn"). I can select Odessa hex and line in the Hi factory list among other cities?. Bt I can't select Odessa when I click the line under the group of factories where Odessa is listed it only proposes to move the last of the list ("set to relocate Heavy Industry from Kolomna to Kirov Yes/No"). Same thing when I choose Armamaments (there it proposes only to evacuate "NMoscow armament factories to Saratov")

Did I miss something to select a specific city for factory evacuation, as stated in the manual section 28.7.1 ? Thank you

if it wasn't historically evacuated you can't move it.

To be honest, just forget all about the focus in WiTE1 on Soviet factory moves, they happen at or before the historic date for those that moved historically

no particular gain, no particular loss. Static still take attrition, so it depends if you want to have the AP changes and the possible problem of a local truck shortage when you make them mobile again

afaik, its historical.

You'll find some instances where it appears you have more planes than units. The reason is that most Soviet players try to use the VVS more cautiously than historical practice
