On the scenario overview for "Road to Leningrad" it says "...assualt on the city." It should be "...assault on the city"

8.1.5.1. MANUAL AIRCRAFT SWAPS

Changing the aircraft model in an air group unit will expend one admin point, reduce the air group unit experience level by two and may result in up to thirty percent of the new aircraft becoming damaged

When I have manually upgraded a aircraft in Beta 3 version 1&2 the experience loss has been as high as 15 points. I haven't checked the whats new pdf though.

Is this WAD?

The printed manual has only chapters 1 to 7 while the e-manual has chapters 1 to 28.

Printed manual covers only 1/3 of the first pages. [:(]

Newly discovered rules:

1) Naval supply can be blocked by naval interdiction.

2) Naval interdiction cannot be projected from Captured ports (so a captured Riga cannot shut down Kuressare, however Kuressare could block the Axis from getting supplies into Riga).

3) If the effective port value is reduced to less than one due to damage, then supplies may not be sent through that port. However, the port damage is reduced by 10% before the supply phase. Only the smallest ports would have a value less than one after the 10% reduction in damage.

4) Combat values of attacking units are divided by 8 during mud.

Section 26.2 The year these units can be created is there but no month. it would be greatly helpful if we knew what month these new units will be available so that we could plan in advance.

Message for Apollo11

A more clear re-write of the Air Doctrine screen explanation may be necessary.

I have provided a clearer explanation at witewiki.

However I feel the current explanation is difficult for native English speakers to understand, let alone non native speakers.

Need to mention the red X that gets placed in the game option screen in items that have not been selected and may not be changed (cannot change thesae settings once a 2 player game has been started). Section 3.3.3

While translating the manual in french (see: tm.asp?m=2731858&mpage=1&key= )

I found some issues:
- p 67, 5.3.4 : the "gameplay info" at the bottom of the amphibious transport mode description refer to the next section 5.3.5 Air recon mode
- p 77 and after, 5.4.2 : the "permanent losses" column descrption might be divided in the subsequent three sub-columns
- p 81, 5.4.3.5 : the "supply stores" is misplaced and not in bold
- p 85, 5.4.5.1 : the right and left side of the screen are reversed in the description
- p 90, 5.4.9 : reference to Appendix C is incorrect (section 26.3 and not 28.3)
- p 101, 5.4.14 and in the next sections : the title of the 'supply status' descritption is missing.
- p 116, 5.4.26.1 reference to 'Supply buildup' is incorrect: (20.6) and not (20.7)
- p 117, 5.4.26.3 'Range to HQ' same as 'MP to HQ'... should be: 'Number of hexes....'
- p 119, ASSIGN/FORM, replace 'headquarters' by 'town, city and urban hexes'
It's just bullshit !

Hi all,

During the first winter ALL Soviet units are "speedy" (i.e. they pay half of the MP price to move into enemy hex).

good) to 45 (really bad).


The T35 has a reliability of 50

Yes they were. They were two battalions of T35 tanks at the start of Barbarossa. Within a few days of the start of the battle nearly all T35's had broken down and were abandoned.

Hi all,
1) Manual Correction (Section 22.2.2) – The entry in the Random Weather Table for a die roll of 10 in September should be M (not C). The entry for a die roll of 12 in November should be S (not B).

2) Manual Correction (missing rule from version 1.00) (Section 22.3) – Soviet units in areas impacted by the First Winter rules pay half the normal movement points for entering enemy controlled hexes (this halving also applies to the portion of the ZOC to ZOC cost calculated based on the cost of entering enemy controlled hexes, as well as the additional cost for Regiments and Brigades entering enemy controlled hexes).

- p 119, ASSIGN/FORM, replace 'headquarters' by 'town, city and urban hexes'


bump for future updates of the manual:

- p 139, 7.5.3.6 "If the merging unit is a smaller size unit, than only one third of its TOE percentage counts." should be "If the merging unit is a smaller size unit, then only one third of its TOE percentage counts."
- p140 7.5.4.1 last sentence: "... bordered in white when the Info screen tab View Unit Modes button (Shift-R hotkey) has been toggled on (5.1.2.1)." should be " ... bordered in white when the Map Information tab View Unit Modes button (Shift-R hotkey) has been toggled on (5.1.2.1).
- p 150, the update manual incorrectly refer the "Auto-Attachment Rules" as 7.7.1.1. so the original 7.7.1. paragraph disappear from the contents
- p 153, 8.1.3 the reference of the commander's report (' missing) is wrong: 5.4.9 not 9.5.4.
- p 177, 11.4.1. second paragraph, third sentence is useless as it's the same as the first sentence of the paragraph...
- p 181 an 183, note 4 seems to refer to table 12.2.1 rather than 12.2.2
- p 198, 14.2.3. in the game play warning, the second SMP cost (to re-embark) should be 30 and not 15
- p 215, 15.7.2. refer correctly to Show Losses Screen (5.4.2) but in the update manual it reverse incorrectly to (5.2).
- p 219, 15.9.3. bad layout both in the original and revised manual. There should be 4 possibility (as in the previous paragraph 15.9.2)
- p 335, 26.3.8.3 there is thirteen and not twelve columns of characteristics.
It's just bullshit !
