RE: Strange Weather (heavy rain all summer)

Thanks for this carlkay58.

I have only just started reading Operation Barbarossa and Germany's Defeat in the East by Stahel so I expect that detail would be in there somewhere.

But can I ask your source for this info?

Tutorial Videos

In the manual it says there are videos of the tutorial introductory scenarios in the manuals folder. But I don't have any videos in the manuals folder...were these included?

RE: Strange Weather (heavy rain all summer)

<t> July and August are the last months of Summer heading into Autumn (in the northern hemisphere).<br/> <br/> The Rasputitsa ('time of no roads') occurs twice a year in Russia, Spring and Autumn. I believe the Autumn Rasputita did not start in earnest until October 1941. Although this may have vari...

RE: Rommel

Absolutely.

Not only had Rommel outrun his supply lines, especially fuel, at Alam el Halfa, south of El Alamein, he had also outrun Luftwaffe support. A good example of bad generalship and failure to combine arms to maximise combat power.

...But as Carlkay says you could have some side effects because of it.

He wouldn't disobey orders and outrun his supply lines, would he? [8|]

RE: Early impressions - can map scroll be improved?

This was one of my gripes when first playing WITW. I expected to left click the map and drag. As it is, I agree that the scrolling of the map by moving the cursor to the edges is kind of clunky. I think there should be a left click to drag the map...

RE: Are you able to split up air groups?

What's more, if the AI can do this for your own auto allocation, then presumably it is doing it as the enemy.

Is that fair? [8|]

229 AC auto allocation is shown in the image before the 455 AC (before I deleted the other Tactical Airforce missions...).

I have now added that screen shot above...

<r> Mmm, the AI seems to be able to do it. That is, come up with a number of aircraft for its allocation that don't seem to be based on the sum of one or more available air groups.<br/> <br/> If you look at the thread at <LINK link="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4982591"><s>[link=https...

Air Group Allocation - Auto

<r> A few questions about allowing auto allocation of air groups to missions. <br/> <br/> 1. When manually allocating an air group, the allocated air group is shown when editing the air directive and clicking on the link/button next to Groups. Easy.<br/> <br/> However, when allowing auto allocation,...
