[WarInEur] CWIE - FOW + manpower

[Daniel Jagelman]

Hi all,

Call me stupid but I have only just stumbled on the 'scope' function in the inventory tool. I was flabbergasted to see the level you can scope down to.

Now my Axis defences in Africa, which I thought so sufficent given FOW, feel naked and inadequate. Kind of like being caught nude swiming in cold water..

Is FOW changing in CWIE II via some kind a margin of error or tolerance or something else?

On a different topic - it fascinates me that as the German player, if you fight a mechanized war against the russians reasonably successfully and target their personel points heavy units and resources, you can exhaust the soviet manpower while still having hundreds of thousands or even millions of men still in reserve. Targeting personel points is really a form of 'strategic' warfare in that you are trying to create or exploit an existing bottleneck in the opposition's ability to wage war. I am surprised that in the WIE game, a manpower bottleneck is so easy to manufacture for the soviets without the benefit of years of extravegant Stalinesque spending of russian blood..

I would love to see some graphical reports on the historical data of month by month men/divisions/afv's for both sides on the eastern front, and the same for losses.

Cheers

Daniel J
