All they do is maintain a fortified area and assist in defense. Want to keep those great fortifications but not tie up an Infantry Division? Build these. A hex with fortifications will decay if no unit is present. If you’re playing as Germany you won’t see many to begin with, but during your first Winter you’ll want these. This varies by weather, and through rough terrain, but once you advance too fast, you’ll run out of beer and bullets. Your units have to be within so many hexes of a railhead.
Air drops are rare in WitE, and you move supplies by rail. One that really needs a shout out though is the Rail Repair unit. Most of these are pretty self explanatory. We’ll get into roles and such another day. But it covers the ones you’ll see most often. Stretch that out a few weeks and you can easily outrun your supply lines. Your tanks can move three times as far as your infantry. Your mechanized units, at full fuel, will get 50 movement points.
Running low on fuel? You’ll start with even less movement points. Higher is good, but as you move this will drop.ĭrive through a swamp? That’ll cost more movement. Equipment, fatigue, experience, morale, attached units, HQ effectiveness, weather, all balled up into a tidy little number. This is computed from a ton of different variables. So why do it? Maybe to cover a front you don’t expect the enemy to attack. We’ll get to the combat value below, but be aware that you are splitting a Division apart, and the regiments will be weaker than the whole. In some scenarios you’ll start with a bunch of these. The Regiment is created when you use the Build Up / Breakdown button. The XX isn’t for a bad proof of whisky but denotes this unit as a Division. Typically a Panzer division, or maybe an SS, but you’ll also see regular Wehrmacht too. This particular one is mechanized infantry. You’ll see rectangles, ovals, slashes, and we’ll get to that later on. They can be rather daunting, and to the novice, not very intuitive. Since then variations have entered games, or in Hearts of Iron case, are on the way out. This is what you’ll spend most of the game shuffling about. But first, what the hell are we looking at? Now I don’t recommend starting with the full war, start with Road to Minsk. It can stretch from Finland to the Black Sea. The scale it latches on to is gargantuan.
War in the East, or WitE, is a massive beast. This is a quick introduction to the most basic of things in War in the East. gaming Grognard Games PC Games War in the East.
