In general other in-depth games of the sector give way more credit to the minors. Talking of tabletop games of the Europa serie or the TSWW serie; or Thunder in the East eventually. The first two games are very similar to WITE admittedly, with units as large as divisions / corps (for Axis / Soviets) and down to battallion level for the specialist units.

In The Operational Art of War IV there are a number of Russian front scenarios, some have Romanian ratings somewhat in line with wite2 but at least one a higher rating for the Romanians(Feel free to play that scenario).

So what do these different ratings prove? Nothing.

My references provide proof that the Romanians started the war with a decent (but inferior to Germans) morale that quickly dissipated.

Also, all of the board games and most computer games (OPART IV is an exception) have a single fixed value, an attack strength and, if it's a bit more detailed a defence strength.

WITE 2 has a more in-depth set of ratings for units, attack, defence, morale and NM. The other games do not have the "luxury" of a NM rating.

BTW, you may consider a board game as a genuine historical reference, that is your prerogative. I certainly don't and if the Devs don't make any changes to the Romanian's NM, I guess they don't either.

The Devs already made clear they're good with the present NMs in this very thread, unless hard evidence is provided to have them change mind.

We're discussing for discussion sake!

And certainly I do agree tabletop games in general have fixed values; fluctuations in time require replacement counters (Europa serie has that but it is still -take that counter off, put new year counter in- pretty much) or in case of complications 'multipliers' (which make a tabletop game unplayable!).

What I am merely said through that is that there are many developers of games that do their own researches. Albeit I do not consider the Europa serie something like a map-maker of TOAW may do!
