The player can manually assign Construction Battalions to Cities to eg speed up the repair of railyards. For some cities (Minsk turn 1), the city detail window does not show the "Assign" button, for other cities the button is there(Riga). Why?


The button only appears on the turn after you captured the city.

But on the turn that you capture the city, you can click on the number in the "DAM" column of the city hex. That will give that city a priority for the construction units.
It is no absolute guarantee that a construction unit comes, but usually one does.

If you want to make a division then there should be at least 1 MP in each of the regiments. If you want to build a fortification zone - then there is a limit for a maximum of 3 units in a hex (except of city forts)

Thanks, I forgot the 1MP rule

- do regiments have some kind of ZOC? they didn't in Wite1
- what are the best videos to learn air war an depot rules. I tried 2 of them but they were too specific

Quick question:

Is there a way to prevent the AI from airdropping supplies to its units?

Air superiority (set to to be run in both phases) does not seem to be doing anything and the AI is happily dropping 500+ tonnes of supplies on its encircled units every turn. Quite annoying.

Thanks,

Interception is broken. Don't waste your planes on air superiority, ground attack and air supply are not intercepted at all. No matter what you do.

~Units smaller than a division have no ZOC. Some are multi role and can be attached to Division/Corps combat units to make them uber powerful.

~ I have found the quick start Strategy Gaming Dojo useful but not perfect.

Jango32 is correct. I appreciate him correcting my mistake. A regiment will only convert an enemy controlled hex to a friendly control that they move through or into. That means an adjacent hex may remain enemy controlled.

Thanks again for the response Stamb!

(Do the devs know about it and are just ignoring it? the game must have had a dozen patches since its release..)

They know. It was working fine few patches ago. Then something went wrong.

yes, i have no idea why it is not set to be on by default:

click on that arrow on the left, then select appropriate checkbox

Don't feel bad about it, it's one of the most repeated misunderstandings about this game

I've seen LP'ers deliberately avoid splitting their divisions to secure a pocket because they were concerned their ZOCs would disappear. Heck, even the Fuhrer Begleit btn has a ZOC if it's deployed on the map as a unit, as long as it's not routed or depleted.

But it could be clearer in the manual. I'd bold it in 24pt and color it red.

Unfortunately looks like there will be no changes according to this topic:

Status: offline 		Quick editor question:

using the rename fuction, what does the "Condition - Depleted (3)" do? Let's have a look at the example here below: does it mean that the 3rd Tank division gets depleted on turn 2 and then gives rise to the 225th Rifle division? Or does it mean that, after turn 2, the 3rd Tank division will become the 255th RD only when it gets depleted?

Thanks!

So if the TD becomes very low on strength (=depleted) it will reform as RD if between T2 and T25, on T26 it will reform to RD independent of condition
I believe if the unit was destroyed on T1 it will be rebuilt as 225th RD

When does captured equipment show in the production box? I am in Sept 41 and cannot see anything so far??

There seems to be nothing at all in the manual about captured equipment but it was a big thing in WITE 1

because fundamentally the production system is utterly different so things that were deemed a 'big thing' in WiTE1 become of no practical value
