I’m sorry that you’re wrong, because even in the Stalingrad to Berlin scenario, everything I’ve said existed. It was the winter of 1943.


There should be a clear divide. Before the "turning point" or november '42 (aka smash the weak allies on the flanks and annihilate a whole German army) and after that moment. Before = [Soviet] catastrophes, catastrophes and more catastrophes. After = start stuffing the Germans. As long as this works I can't see any problem.

I was not wrong when I said you were describing er, Barbarossa.

Best regards


I can only say that many people are too superstitious about the German army

The failure of the Soviet Union in 41-42 was really more due to the Soviet Union’s strategic command errors
for example

In June 41, the entire Soviet army had serious logistical problems. This has multiple historical facts. At the same time, the entire Western Front defensive positions were arranged incorrectly. This was the main reason for the German army success in June-July 41

The Soviet forces, especially the mechanized forces, were too superstitious in mobile operations, resulting in a large number of mechanized forces losing their combat effectiveness during the maneuvering process (such as the 8th Mechanized corps)

41 Smolensk, the high-level Soviet generals forced the unequipped Soviet infantry division to launch an offensive against the German army (this is obviously a suicide, some generals did not follow the order and played well, such as Lukin and Rokosovsky)

41 In Kiev, Stalin and high-level generals’ miscommands led to the annihilation of nearly 600,000 troops

In the winter of 41, if it were not for the total TOE of the Soviet infantry division at that time, generally only about 50%, and Stalin wrongly launched a full counterattack, the German Army Group Central was destroyed in the winter of 41 (you can read Glantz's book, It has a detailed description)

In the summer of 42, Stalin and high-ranking generals not only misjudged the main direction of the German army, but also wrongly overestimated the offensive capabilities of the Red Army. They launched the Battle of Lezhev, resulting in losses of more than 1 million troops. At the same time, the southern line was defeated by the Germans. Until the German army stopped in the Caucasus and Stalingrad due to supply problems

These problems are the command problems of Stalin and high-level generals. Players can avoid them.

That's why I play this game

I am a person who likes to study more. I have also done a lot of research on the Eastern Front of World War II. Many people mistakenly overestimated the combat capabilities of the German army. The German army achieved a lot of results in 41-42 because the Soviet Union made a lot of mistakes. Many, not that the Germans were too strong. By 43 Kursk, the Soviet Union corrected their mistakes, and the result was that the Germans lost, completely lost.

The battle for Tallinn takes place on turn 3, the power ratio is 1.2 to 1 and the city is taken. In the combat statistics, as you can see, there are almost no division units in the defense of the division, even 1/10 of its composition does not participate, but the final losses of the Soviet division kill most of all. The Germans were able to clear the city from the Soviet infantry, having lost only 53 people.

And in Winter '43 the Russians when going on the offensive, smartly smashed Axis minors and not the Germans.
One may wonder why, even in Winter '43. Ah yes because the other offensive, against German forces, did not exactly went so well for the Russians. (Besides it is simply more efficient to hit the weather spots).

I agree with JubJub on that notion notheless.


I'm sorry, what? That is, the Red Army in the winter of 1941-42 pushed the Romanians away from Moscow? You are saying something stupid, I do not know what you are based on, but it looks like you’re a hard-core German lover, maybe you also share the views of the German propaganda? Well, there the German soldier is stronger than 10 Soviet soldiers, the wunderwaffe, the Mongol hordes that the corpses reached Berlin??

Where the HQ was compared to Talinn?
Because the massive drop of CV of the division defending Talinn to me is justifiable only if the HQ (already in the hands of a poor commander) was the hell away from Talinn (ie, over 5 hexes of distance). So pratically the wider and broader majority of the elements fail their morale / initiative / whatnot test en mass, and the Soviet unit is pratically ... useless in defending the City.

That's pure game mechanic knowledge. Then if you say that your HQ was stacked in Talinn, it may be another tale but that leader iirc is one of the 2-3 stat guys!

In fact, this is the task of sergeants and lentenants below the chain of command. In fact, the division is divided into regiments, regiments into battalions and battalions into companies and companies into platoons. And in fact, we can talk about the combat independence of troops up to the level of a company, and in some cases up to a platoon. If the commander is not close, but even so, the headquarters of the 8th Army was in Tallinn itself.

What prevents people who have been wounded from being withdrawn to the rear, and those who are still able to be useful in battle with light wounds to be brought together in a weighty combat platoons?

The reason behind this is that devs setup individual unit str. based upon outcome of a entire summer campaighn.

Axis won with a score of 10 to 1 in summer? So we setup axis units to be a 10 times stronger than soviets.

But they won not bcs of individual units str, but by a clever encirclements.

In fact, there is a numerous cases when encircled soviet armies can achieve a breaktrough from INSIDE the pocket and get some of their divs out.

In game all encircled units became useless despite never participating in combat. Units in pocket should not be considered pocketed on the first turn, bcs they made flanking attack on a units that actually still try to pocket them. Players playing on the same week right?

I have always been a little bothered by how promptly isolated forces turn into offensive kittens even when supplied.
To the extent they’re supplied and rallied you should be able to throw them effectively against the inside of pockets.
Now it just feels like an exercise in fatigue generation for doomed units.

Perhaps the isolation effect of ammo conservation should be a readiness option: Ready / Reserve / Refit (Conserve)- replace Refit for isolated units since it’s unavailable anyway?

yep agree, the game had unintentionally slipped to being far too hard for an axis player to get anywhere near the historical achievements, early evidence is this plus that Assault Front changes has really unblocked the early game - far better all round

Artillery is not a small problem. This is not bias

If you don't believe it, you choose the Soviet army and I choose the German army to play GC41.

This is clearly the game level of German players

GC41 Trun 11 human vs human

There are only 2 million Soviet troops left on the map. In the next Trun, the Soviet troops will be reduced to less than 1.9 million. This guy is definitely not going to survive 1942

Status: offline 		oversimplifying a bit but what terrain does is modify the cvs of both sides so dense terrain gives the defender a cv multiplier and lowers the cv of attackers, normally for AFVs attacking into forests or whatever however because of artilery disruption being as high as it is you can often have your cvs lowered so much as a defender that the terrain in effect doesnt help you and you rout and lose a load of men because of the combat odds

Status: offline 		heres another maybe more reasonable example, notice how the starting soviet cv is higher than the german but because of arty it goes all the way down to almost nothing and retreats barely even firing back. this is just swamp but I've had many similar battles on heavy forest and light forest, and before anyone says "ah hah you don't have any forts" I'd say the same thing about forts, below level 3 they dont stop arty disruption so again they give you some nice looking base CV but it still ends up going all the way down if germany passes his initiative rolls and gets 3 or more arty elements to join

Status: offline 		I don’t see anything wrong with that last example, it’s 8/41, the Germans have a 2-1 in division advantage (not even mentioning better morale, experience and leadership) and 5 (from that screen shot) artillery battalions against an unsupported Soviet Rifle division (most likely with poor leadership, bad morale and low experience).

There has been a lot of posts and I think they are taking things out of context and there is a lot of Miss understanding of all the various variables and factors involved in each battle.

This game is not an old board war game where you calculate an odds and roll a six sided die and add or sub track 1 or 2 and an entire division is removed from the map and placed in the dead pool.

I dont think soviet should win this battle but 6 men? this is what im saying the change means you have to totally rethink how to even hold tiles, you go from thinking about hmm maybe I can kill or damage some Germans here and wear them down to "hopefully I don't lose my whole division when I rout" you dont even use up german supplies because arty uses very little ammo compared to the effect

The Germans might win this fight, but it should cost them.

Also 16:1 is way too much. If soviets had enough toe and ammo it should be retreat at maximum.

On the other hand i am playing as an axis vs AI I am not able to route soviets. Maximum retreats.

Like an Infantry Squad is 10 soldiers. If the Infantry Squad is elimited it's 10 dead. If it is 1-9 deads it is just damaged I assume.

That is why many have distorted view of 'German victories' as of now.

As I am sure after one combat of that type these 2 German divisions dropped their nominal CV by an amount - part of it due to fatigue, but part of it due to an amount of Ground Elements simply damaged.

The question I would as is the following: Is the battle you showed entirely historically plausible for August 1941? Yes, I'd say it is, though every battle result should not be the same as that. The WITE2 system has always been designed to show the entire breadth of possible results, so picking one battle and showing it is not really useful unless you start seeing that for all battles. Watching many battles over the course of a campaign and seeing how that compares to history (and to the types of results seen in WITE) is much more helpful.

Every change to the game requires a ton of supporting data to help guide it and a ton more to test it, to make sure that the end result both at the micro and macro level is realistic. It's a very complex system designed by people who do know military history and have decades of experience trying to bring the Eastern Front to life in a wargame. We'll keep listening and tweaking as needed, but we're looking at much more than just individual battles in order to do that.

Regards,

- Erik
