Can Axis make brand new corps?

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).

Can Axis make brand new corps?

Post by Timotheus »

I get the nice infantry divisions assigned to OKH, and they are all bunched together near Berlin.

I would love to create a new corps for them, but I don't think it is even possible?


Instead I must hunt for the insanely build Germans Inf. Corps with 2 or even 1 divisions in them.

It is not possible, but your are right, you can attach them to the corps with only 1 or 2 division.
If you look at the "reinforcements" screen, you can see which units arrive.
Panzergruppe 3 and 18th army had enough corps, so that you can clean one corps and rail it to the divisions.

To the devs:

Would it be too much to ask for the Axis to be able to create new corps and (and while at it armies)?


To all:

How do you find how many units are in a corps other than remembering it from playing on the map during your turn that such and such Corps has 1 or 2 units?

To see them all under one screen you can see how many Divisions and support units are assigned to a Corps under the Order Of Battle screen in the Info Screen section. You first click on say Army Group North (AGN), for example, and the Army's under AGN will be below that and the Corps assigned to AGN will be below that and the Divisions and support units assigned to those Corps will be below the Corps HQ.

Another way would be to bring up the HQ's in the Commanders Report and clicking on the HQ Name you want to look at. That will bring up a screen showing all the divisions and support units assigned to that HQ.

Open the commander's report, select the HQ tab, filter out all but corps HQs, filter out nations if needed. The number of combat units attached is listed under 'CU'.

Not going to happen in this game. OKH did not raise new units, so you can't either. On the plus side, unless it's changed, all your dead divisions come back the entire game.

Not a dev, but have had emails with one of thr guys who worked on it told me I had it right.

As Axis you are only using what is provided. Sometimes the game will give you some new commands (reinforcements), sometimes it will take them from you (withdrawing). You have to manage those changes and keep an efficient command structure to maximize combat power.

You can use commander's report (HQ view) to find out overloaded (or the opposite) commands and deal with them. After a while you'll memorize who has what and where it is.
