Partisan's persist side by side with Security

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).

Partisan's persist side by side with Security

Post by Chocolino »

Please see the screenshot. The Partisan did not get displaced despite sitting beside a security unit. The reason is that it de-trained at the hex beside the Partisan instead of moving there. Is this intended?

Why do you think this is partisan unit?

Good point - maybe a wrong assumption.

It is way behind the lines several month after the front has passed. Is it possible that a regular unit or stragglers that was overlooked in some swamp can hold out that long without surrender?

The unit was also gone at the start of the next German turn without any doing on my part.

Hmm.. that would be very very unlikely. Looks as a AI "raids" Gary was fixing. What version do you run? Do you have a save?

Sorry, the closest save file is the turn after - not very helpful. (But you do see a lot of rail damage in the area which is another piece of evidence that this is indeed a Russian partisan)

If I encounter a similar issue, I will make sure to report more thoroughly.

I still think the reason for the encountered behavior was that the security unit de-trained from rail transport beside the Russian instead of moved there tactically.

BTW - V1.01

Well - you can't have it both ways. Either I can upload a zoomed crop (which you apparently don't like) or you get it too small.

A full sized jpg on my screen resolution is much larger than the Matrix upload restriction of 500KB. And I am not sure if my primitive screen capture software can down-dilute the resolution.

But there is not much to see anyways. The Partisan has disappeared and the rail damage should be visible even at this size.

OK, there was actually one zoom level closer than the one shown above. My mistake. I hope it helps....

Ok, did you move those sec units by rail? If so you need to unload them then attack the hex. If you just unload they won't disperse....

Yes, the SEC moved by rail and did de-train where shown (very first pic). But the SEC did not attack because of lack of remaining movement.

The reason for my initial question: It is usually sufficient to just move to the hex beside the Partisan to displace it. It is normally not necessary to attack them. Apparently that is different when moving by rail and then de-training. I wanted to know if this is the intended behavior. If yes, then I am fine with it.

Thank you for your help.
