Elite SS Divisions

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).

Elite SS Divisions

Post by tex_ka95 »

Does anyone know exactly which Waffen SS divisions are considered elite? The manual doesn't spell this out as far as I can tell.

My own guess would be 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 9th and 10th Panzer.

Two ways. First, go to the Unit List, and you'll see a column for "ELITE". SS Elite are marked "SSE"

You can also tell by color; all-black = Elite. Half Black, Half Grey = Non-Elite

It is those units you identified, plus 12ss. Also, the SS Panzer units (Tiger BN) are elite.

AFAIR all SS Panzer Divs and their predecessors, the already named SS hvy Pz Bns, some HQs and a small part of foot/motorized infantry.

Are regular army heavy Tank Battalions elite - I only have one it does have 98 morale after a few fights - so I assume so.

It appears at least some of them are, if not all of them. Go to the Commanders Report screen and look at the E/G column. E, LWE and SSE all means elite.

I was shocked to see one of the Romanian divisions was considered elite. LOL
