Hello, I am by no means an expert on house rules and balance of the game. But I would like to get some input and discussion from experienced players, what are the arguments for the house rules preferred nowadays. Let´s start with the easy ones. Temporary motorization seems to be a big no-no. I am no...

Bryansk Counterattack Krusk Counterattack For counterattacks against single regiments - use less divisions (unless you are farming the maximum amount of wins). A "large" amount of units (4+ divisions or, when you unlock them, 2+ corps) in a single combat reduces the fire rate of their ele...

Hi Really enjoying your AAR the attention to detail in the screenshots is excellent, your review of each sector and Front description of your latest turn reads like what an actually combat report might look like ( my view ) is top notch. Just my two cents on the North-Western Front operations, for ...

Thanks for a very interesting and exciting read of the AAR. I can´t help but feel its incredibly challenging to avoid a knock out encirclement in 41-42 vs. an experienced German player. Maybe later patches have evened out things a bit in this regard, since this was played? It was a shame it ended, s...

Question: Do units on TRAINS collect any replacements, or no? They do accumulate Prep Points however; correct? If a unit is on a train, but doesn't MOVE during it's turn, does it consume any rail capacity? You can see where this is going.....a couple units on TRAINS and waiting becomes like a strat...

https://i.imgur.com/lTLZjKf.jpeg All in all, not a terrible week. Heavy losses, but that is to be expected, when defending and not running away. Two large successful counterattacks (and one failed). Mostly we are rearranging to slow down the German panzers, which push in certain key sectors. There ...

Here is another question: How are AA SUs typically used? I know that they will defend the hex they are in vs. Air Attacks (HQ unit or attached to a Ground unit) If attached to an HQ, do they provide any AA benefit outside of protecting the HQ unit? Or is that it? If used as SU in combat, do they pr...

What week/turn does Heavy Mud normally hit the map in a 1941 campaign? We have had multiple high pressure fronts during fall, and I suspect this has delayed the onset of Rasputitsa. Only on Turn 17 did we get Heavy Rain on half of the map... Tun 18 (19th October) most of the map is now Heavy Mud. I...

I should have evacuated Tallinn ...

Does anyone have a specific win ration needed to upgrade units to Guard Status? I seem to remember (from WITE1?), that you would need at least 7 more victories, than defeats, to have a chance at upgrading. Does anyone know a bit more than what the Manual states for WITE2?

Thanks!

When I create my two first cavalry corps (fx.), in November 1941, does it matter what base cavalry divisions I use for them? Ie. if you use larger mountain cavalry divisions, will the resulting cavalry corps become larger? I guess the new corps in itself has its own ToE, and the included divisions, ...
