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).

Airbase support questions

Post by Balou »

Attaching air groups to a LW airbase seems to be limited in terms of AV support, which raises quickly when attaching bomber groups. Question 1: does an air HQ with its support of 500 whatsoever compensate for these AV support requirements of attached airbases? Are there different support types or not ?

What’s this 500 support good for, since air HQs obviously don’t need any support ?
The airbase detail windows show “support/need 500/0” . Question 2: Can I reduce the TOE of air HQs (10,000 men !) without suffering penalties ?

Air HQ helps only with ground elements in airbase, so you can load 250 AV worth of planes. Then you will get 15-17 support from HQ for those AA guns in the airbase and that's all.

As for point 2 we don't know, there are just rumors that this affects leader skills. I heard 90% TOE is the minimum to which you can lower TOE of normal HQs, so I would start with that level for air HQs and worked down, perhaps to 75%. But it's not knowledge only shamanistic lore.

Ok. Now WitE requires offerings to the Gods of Warfare.
