Guards Tank Corps

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

Guards Tank Corps

Post by thedoctorking »

First turn that tank corps can be formed (4/2/42). I put two Guards Tank Brigades and one regular Tank Brigade together in a hex, all under the same HQ, and hit buildup/breakdown units. Nothing happens. Three regular brigades in another hex succeed in forming a Tank Corps. What's up? Is there a different date when Guards Tank Corps become available? Should I just put single GTB's with two regulars, make a regular corps, and hope they promote later?

Doesn't say so in the manual and I've never seen it.

Is it possible that the non-guards unit has so few wins that it drags the overall wins for the corps below that needed for guard status?

Yes, is that an issue?

Just tested it and yes, they must have at least one movement point. Not in the manual so I'll add it.
