Manpower in the pool, 908,873. lets see how much will get used by next turn.





Personally, I think you're trying to solve a problem that you don't have yet. And yes, this could backfire to an extent.

Still, you being you, and given this is only getting started, only time will validate this.

Ya, you are probably right. But if it works out the way I am hoping it works out then I will be happy. If it does not then Im up "sh*t" creak and the forum can watch me go down in flames. Im sure many want to see that for sure ;-)

M60 Pearl from page one post 9



Pearl #2 Know Your Railyards

Most people have seen the message. They try to unload a unit in rail mode by clicking ON TRAIN on the unit and see the pop-up “100 Strategic MPs required to unload”. They look and see that the number they have is less than that.

So naturally, they conclude, "I guess I’ll have to wait until next turn to unload."

Not so fast.


At railyards, unloading costs for units vary. Here is the general guide for SMP costs to unload when the railyard has full capacity available:

Level 1= 80
Level 2=55
Level 3=45
Level 4=35
Level 5 and greater=30

Many people may already be aware of this and so the question is asked, how can this benefit the Soviets?
Well on Turn 1, what you are doing matters a great deal, just as it is important to the other side. In the area around Smolensk and Vitebsk, you are going to want to get a coherent defense set up immediately. The Axis cannot reach Vitebsk until Turn 2 at the earliest, so this is a good time for the Soviet player to rail units to places where they can aid in the defense of this area on Turn 2.


I don't think many may have seen you updated your pearl. Noting it here so others can see.

Very little has happened on the map even though it is turn 3. Both the Germans and Soviets are maneuvering into position. Normally in my games I play Soviets turn 4 is the turn that all hell starts breaking loose. Will see if that happens next turn. But until then we have some tidbits for turn 3.

Northern pocket Eliminated by Germans.

Pskov area

One other pertinent battle in the vicinity was an Airborne brigade which basically was blown the F**K up by a non-hasty attack. The Airborne brigade had 204 men in it when I looked at the shell. The attack also blew the hell out of the 529 RVGK Artillery regiment. The 529 got put up wet. Had to send the 529 back to Stavka for fixing.

Manpower is doing fine at the moment, 354,317.

Some Soviet division filled out to high 90% if on a Depot and there was supply for them. Most Infantry divisions are now in the 70-88% Toe. The Armor & Mech divisions of course didn't fill up & still most are in the 30% - 60% range ToE. I am considering merging on some of these divisions.

Since Dodo89 is working on turn 4 now I will post my Turn 1 "Around Pskov Defense". I am not a believer of stacking up a whole bunch of units in Pskov and accompanying forts. Feel free to comment or ask questions if you like.

Pearl #3 Free CV!

Quite a lot of players know that there is a direct correlation between supply and combat value, i.e. CV. Yet when there are opportunities to increase supply and boost CV, players don’t take advantage of it.

Why?

Because they expect the logistics phase to do all the work.

When units arrive from the reserve, many of them don’t have full supplies. Hence their CVs often are relatively low

How do we fix this?

Simple. Air re-supply. Call in some LI-2 transports to fly supplies to units that you carefully set to arrive on or near an airfield. Just make sure when the planes fly the units are on the airfield. Then watch the CV of these new arrivals triple in some instances.




The above is M60's #3 pearl of wisdom which he posts on page 1 post 9 of this AAR. Please check the post out there for all of M60's Pearls of wisdom. Great tidbits for people.

if you are bringing a truck heavy formation from the reserve to the map (so a Pzr division or tank corps), deploy it at or next to a NSS - its far more likely to gain the trucks it needs there than if it appears on a remote sector

relates the very good solution above
