Use of Construction Units

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).

Use of Construction Units

Post by inscrutible »

I havent spotted anything in threads on this but what do all of those Construction units sat in the German AG HQs do?

I'm at Dec 1942 and each HQ has about 12-15 construction units, which even with a support level of 0, dont seem to want to be deployed to lower HQs. Are they actually doing something in background that I'm not aware of? Should I disband them to increase my manpower pool?

Use them for constructin fortifications. Never ever disband them!! I usually keep every corps filled with two cons battalions, it speeds up construction very nicely.

How do you get the units out of the AG HQs and into the Corps HQs? Cant find a transfer or assign option for them?

Check to see if your AG HQ's are set to Locked. If they are then they won't transfer construction units out to other HQ's. See 7.6.3.3 for details.

Zipping it just puts it in a format the forums will accept. No idea about the error message.

Edit - Sent you my email address so you can send it to me.
