IIRC the check is if Soviet player has not reached the Axis high watermark at the end of 1944 the game ends with an Axis victory

One thing to do would be to turn your supply priorities right down. At the moment on average your units have 87% supply. Given the Soviets are unlikely to be attacking in mud you can get away with them being much lower. You want your units only to be drawing from their closest depots. When they have...

Firstly, nice pockets :D! If the AI morale is set to 110 or above it is able to teleport units around like this. Partly because of the situation you have described - it is difficult to program the AI to be aware of threatened pockets. Given 10-15 turns of preparation a human opponent would see the r...

As per the tables posted by Wiedrock, the road system starts to be much more important in heavy mud and heavy snow. When the weather is good, both in the game and, in my view at least, in reality the quickest route is the straightest (perhaps with diversions to avoid the heaviest terrain), even if t...

Ports set to export demand a lot of freight early in the logistics routine, even if the priority is set to 0. As Denniss says there is limited shipping available in the Baltic. I tend to set Danzig as an export port and the rest to import. Most of the time I'll set all the priorities to 0. If you ar...

I'm not sure how productive it is thinking too hard about the combat engine. The information the player is presented with is on two very different levels, and the two do not necessarily complement each other. On one level the engine is resolving and presenting the outcome of a week's operations, nor...

I don't mean this in a snarky way but what exactly is this illustrating? As far as I can see this seems to be a fairly straightforward example of what can happen in first winter when Axis forces get exposed out of their fortifications in clear terrain. To be honest that whole line in front of Tula w...

@ Wiedrock - sorry I'll try and re-explain my point. You've used those Bagration numbers as your 'realistic' standard for unit densities and argue that by adding rifle brigades the Soviet player can achieve densities that are much higher than this standard. My point is that the Bagration unit densi...

I don't think that the discussion above suggests any problem with how the game is at the moment? At least in terms of adding brigades as SUs If we assume that 1 corps = 3 divisions and 1 div = 2 brigades then a maxed out 3 Corps with 3 Bdes would be equivalent to around 12 divisions. If the German h...

If you have beaten up the Soviet army so much that you can get to Maikop or even Baku and hold it for a long period of time then they will have already been beaten by virtue of that damage that you've inflicted on them, not by them not having the oil or you having it. If you aren't able to defeat th...

Thank you for your answer! My biggest question is whether it is worth concentrating on pocketing Soviet units at all? I mean, big pockets, maybe. But what about smaller ones, like 8-10 units? The Soviets have more than enough men and material to just recreate these units next turn as it costs the A...

Does it matter? It points to a serious replayability flaw that might be a major redesign issue. It will be interesting to see how the developers mitigate/nerf this style of gameplay No it does not matter in the least..... Unless I wanted to pick up the Soviet side to continue on with the game to tr...

I think these are damaged tanks being returned to the transit pool? At the start of the scenario there are 1407 T34 1941s in units and 340 in the active pool. Lets say as a rough example that by the end of T10 50% of these are destroyed and the rest are damaged. So at that point there would be 874 d...

It can be done, there are some threads by Seminole on the AAR forum.

From memory I think you can also get a minor victory without taking Leningrad itself if you take enough of the other VLs.

Could we get a more detailed explanation of what will be in the OOB update? I want to start a new 41 campaign and wanted to see if it is worth it to wait for the new version. Something to chew on. The 2.0 update is a comprehensive review of all Axis OBs and is culmination of several years’ worth of...

Most of the leaders in the file above are divisional. The game does not portray divisional leaders, only from corps and above. Yeah but going off that you still have 26 Corps/Army leaders dying? I don't know how well that fits with the leader attrition rate in-game. I can't remember if leaders can ...

Why should it be removed. People die unexpectedly in life. I'm generally a proponent of reducing RNG in games, especially RNG you can't do anything about practically. It also stipulates KIA, and the game makes no distinction in what killed the generals. You can argue that I'm arguing semantics, but...

4 thoughts on this: 1) IMHO talking about 'WW1 style grinding' seems to me to be a misrepresentation of what we see in game and also of the nature of much of the fighting on the east. In WW1 there was little if any progress in the front line; whereas in game both sides can progress. In terms of the ...

It might be one of the columns that is hidden by default. If you go to the top left hand corner of the CR you should see a button saying something like "show all columns". If you click that you will see all of the hidden columns. If you tick the box at the top of the column this will 'unhi...

Thanks for your help

MPs remaining is a field that you can sort by in the Commanders Report.
