New Public Beta 1.05.53 of WitE now Available!

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).

Hello all,

We have a new Beta to try out. It is in the Members Club, and includes a large number of Data and Scenario adjustments, plus Interface and AI improvements, Rule Changes, and Bug fixes.

Please remember this is a beta, and feedback is appreciated.

V1.05.53 – January 4, 2012
    [b]New Features and Rule Changes[/b] [ul] 1) Rule Change – Arriving air groups won’t have their planes swapped/upgraded on their turn of arrival. This allows the player time to set the air groups to Manual upgrade. 2) Rule Change – Now when a broken down unit from a Soviet Corps of any kind changes its HQ attachment, all broken down units that are a part of that Corps will also change their HQ attachment. The cost for this change in HQ will be equal to the cost of changing the Corps. 3) Rule Change – In order for an air unit to participate in a daylight airfield attack mission, it must have flown no more than 1/3 of its available miles. 4) Rule Change – All eligible leaders are now displayed and are available when performing a manual leader change. 5) Rule Change – Soviet DD, Flame and Cavalry tanks may now substitute for light tanks in units in 1941. 6) Interface change – Added a message indicating the arrival of air groups that are located on delayed air bases. 7) Interface Change – Disabled top menu buttons and shortcuts during the logistics phase. Removed the AP and vehicle pool values from the screen during the logistics phase. 8) Interface Change – The save game screen now defaults to sorting the save list by date (most recent to oldest). 9) Interface Change – Added one digit after the decimal point for CV info on the hex pop-up for friendly units. 10) Interface Change – Added sortable air group morale column to the “select air group unit from national reserve window”. 11) Formula Change - Air group morale now grows slower than it used to if the morale is greater than the experience of the group. 12) Formula Change – Added group experience into the equation that calculates the max miles the air group can travel and reduced importance of morale. It was changed from 10+ (morale/2) to 10+ (morale/4) + (experience/4). 13) Formula Change – Isolated HQ units which were not getting any supply from adjacent cities were not sending any of their existing supply dumps to subordinate units in the same pockets. Now they will distribute their supply dumps if they can trace a supply path to the units. 14) Formula Change – Made a small adjustment to the flak attack function. 15) Formula Change - Changed automatic leader assignment. Reduced randomness of the ratings factoring and added rank into the weighting factor calculation (i.e. more chances that higher rank leaders with better ratings will be assigned). 16) Rule Correction – Section 15.9.4.1 – In order for a routed unit to rally, the range test to its HQ must be less than 6, not 2. All HQ’s in the unit’s change are tested, and if any passes this test, then a normal leader morale check is made to determine whether the unit rallies. 17) Rule Correction (Omission) – Section 9.1.1 – Each logistics phase there is chance that a unit can lose a morale point due to fatigue. The higher the fatigue and the lower the morale of the unit, the greater the chance that the unit must make a leader morale check to avoid a morale loss. 18) Rule Correction (Omission) – Attack CV values are divided by 8 on mud turns. 19) AI Changes – Improved AI to be more aggressive attacking victory objectives in later turns of smaller scenarios. Improved the AI command and control so that it tries to assign areas for each German Army or Soviet Front, and keep the units within those areas attached to appropriate HQs. Ongoing improvements in attack selection AI. Improved AI use of ground support especially when attacking fortified units. Improved defensive line routine (greatly reduced chance of failure in line building) and increased Soviet attack aggressiveness in mid/late war. Improved AI rail repair. 20) Optimization – Several routines were optimized to increase game speed. Improved the accuracy of the air availability shadow map. Improved the automatic selection of staging air bases.
Bug Fixes
    1) Fixed a bug where Corps artillery units were being treated as Corps sized units in the Commander’s Report screen. Also, Italian CCNN Legions are now treated as Regiment sized units. 2) Fixed a bug where Soviet Corps HQ could be incorrectly split into 3 parts using the breakdown function. 3) Fixed a bug that prevented AG South in some cases from splitting to AG A and AG B. 4) Fixed another case in which Soviet Guard Corps names could be duplicated. 5) Fixed a bug where once Slovakia or Hungary surrenders, units of other nationalities that were reporting to HQs of the surrendering country were not altered to report to OKH (they are now). 6) Fixed a bug where air groups located on delayed air bases were arriving with no aircraft. 7) Fixed a bug where the AI could merge units that allowed the combined unit to be over 100% of TOE. 8) Fixed type “infantry air is reduced to” to “air rating is reduced to”. 9) Fixed the editor interface so the “Symbol From Id” text does not appear as clickable on the aircraft editor tab. 10) Fixed a bug with the selection of air recon staging bases. 11) Fixed a bug that was preventing expected limits on the amount of CAP that would intercept. 12) Fixed a bug where a player could end up in his opponent’s PBEM turn after ending his own turn. Also fixed another PBEM security issue. 13) Fixed a bug where Hiwis could prevent a ground element slot in a unit from being cleared correctly, which could prevent the ground element from receiving replacements. 14) Fixed a bug with flak fire for fighters, fighter bombers and high speed bombers (max speed>200mph). 15) Fixed a display bug on the unit detail screen (wrong column was marked as "clickable"). 16) Fixed a bug that caused fighter bombers switched to fighter mission when set in the editor to bomber. 17) Fixed a bug that could cause the game to crash when accessing unit details for an AA unit attached to a city. 18) Fixed a bug that allowed Air groups transferred by automatic movement form the NR to fly missions during the same turn.
Data and Scenario Changes
    1) Added several new leaders to the German and Soviet leader database. 2) In the 1.05.23 version, and in all versions thereafter, there was a change made to the Operation Typhoon scenario. The scenario was changed to start a few days later and no German units are now frozen on turn 1. There were many other changes made to the scenario. This change has not previously been documented. 3) Made a temporary fix to correct the problems with the 107mm Field Gun (807) as follows:[ul] • In the Device data base, the 107mm M60 Gun (388) now has a range of 3000; • In the Ground data base, the 107mm Field Gun (807) no longer upgrades to the 122mm Field Gun, now has an Accuracy of 100, and is re-defined from Heavy Infantry Gun to Heavy Anti-tank Gun; • In the TOE(OB) data base, the 42 Heavy AT Regiment (183) is no longer buildable after November, 1942 (stopping then allows a month to fill out any regiments built in November before gun goes out of production at the end of December).
4) Fixed the upgrade path of the Hungarian 50mm AT-Gun (now does not upgrade).
5) TOE(OB) file – in 44 Hun. Hussar Division corrected 7.92mm Machine gun from 0251 (Rumanian) to 0297 (Hungarian)
6) Corrected the Rumanian Rifle Squads in OB 78, 102, & 136 from ground element 255 to 254.
7) Made the following changes in the TOE(OB) data base relating to Soviet Sappers:
    • TOE(OB) 43 Assault Engineer-Sapper Brigade (446) revised to eliminate 12 Sapper Squads with flamethrowers and replace with 10 Rifle Squads, increased Support and brigade upgrades to 44 Assault Engineer-Sapper Brigade (486) in 5/44; • Added TOE(OB) 44 Assault Engineer-Sapper Brigade (486) with addition of 24 Flamethrower Squads (240 FLAMETHROWERS!) and 9 anti-tank rifles; • Added TOE(OB) 41 Engineer-Sapper Brigade (499) as Construction type support unit which upgrades (actually gets smaller) to 43 Engineer-Sapper Brigade (500) in 6/43.

Maybe there are some Database issus:

I.)
affected: aircraft
id:

0055 He 112B

0180 He 112B(R)


Dev. 0033 QTY 2 "20 mm Cannon MG FF" Face TR



Face should be changed from TR -> Fwd

and

II)


scenario: All which starts 1941

Air groups:


1117 2/41 IAP
1232 2/20 IAP
1266 2/69 IAP

All set to group size to "Air Regiment". The other units which named "2/xx IAP" are only "Air Battalion".


Hope it helps....[:)]

This is why I spent $80 on the game. Most of the stuff I won't notice, but the changes do matter. Thanks.

The aircraft equipment issues have not been fixed yet as I'm currently focussing on data issues (more stats, wrong upgrade paths, etc). The next aircraft update (Step 2) will still be data-only but similar in size to the current update. Fixing the equipment stuff is Step 3. Then I'll try to get some aircraft factories properly placed but this means another whelch of data to dig through.

Nice job looks like the air war part of game is up to speed. Ground attack still needs some help.

LW ground attack still seems weak as it was common occurrence for LW to single handly wipe out Russian attacks during 1941 and 1942.

LW ground attack was why, out numbered and out gunned German army was able to crush everyone from 1939-September 1942.

Game gets better with every patch and AI is best ever of any game easly.

Question on the AGS-Split bug: I am in July 1942, and already met the conditions for AGS split

1. Will the split now happen?

2. If it doesn't, will it at least happen in March 1943?

3. Or, will it NEVER happen now?

Has something changed in the air recon routines? I have just upgraded from the last full patch (v1.04.36?) to the latest beta (v1.05.53) and started a new game.

When I try to recon enemy air bases I sometimes get detection level 5 which is enough to show the air bases assets, but the DL I get is inconsistent for different bases. Sometimes the DL remains at 1, even for enemy bases in the clear and no matter how many times I recon them.

Previously reconing air bases automatically gave a DL of 10 iirc.

Yes, there was change for the recon detections. It should be more difficult to raise DL, depending on various factors (ex. exp. of recon unit). Air bases can't go above 5, iirc.
