Information Regarding Crashes, 4k Displays and DPI Scaling – Please see this thread for information
on how to troubleshoot crashes and correctly set your DPI scaling for high resolutions.

Suggested Difficulty Levels – We players new to the Gary Grigsby’s War in the East series begin by using
the Easy Difficulty level and then move to the Normal level. Those with prior War in the… experience may
want to start out with the Normal level. After that the next suggested bump up would be to give the AI side
110 morale help or set all of the AI side’s help levels to 110. After that, the Challenging level should be just
that, Challenging, against all but very experienced players. In games against the AI, you can change the
difficulty levels mid-game. So, if are finding your game to be too hard or too easy, it’s easy to make an
adjustment to suit your level of play.

Change History:
V1.02.45 – 18th October 2022
New Features and Rule Changes
• Added Living Manual v1.18.pdf file in the \Manuals folder. This is up to date with changes through
game version 1.02.44.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Air units in non-reserve theatre boxes stopped being set to automatic upgrades as they should be,
and in fact were incorrectly being set to manual upgrades. Fixed. Now, units in non-reserve
theatre boxes should spend no more than one turn, after their arrival there, in manual upgrade
mode, before being set to automatic upgrades.
• Found another case where air units in the reserve could automatically upgrade even when set to
manual upgrade. Fixed.
V1.02.44 – 12th October 2022
New Features and Rule Changes
IMPORTANT NOTE: All save game and scenario files created with this or later versions may only be
loaded with this or a later version. Versions prior to 1.02.44 may not load these newer save game or
scenario files. Old saves and scenarios may be loaded with this and newer versions.
• Brigades can no longer be used to create Soviet rifle corps.
• Adjusted combat so that various Mech ground elements will be considered dismounted when shot
at under 500 yards. Made it less likely they would be fired at by armored piercing direct fire at
ranges over 500 yards.
• Made it so partisan type unit type units can be used and in most ways is treated as if it’s a fort
type unit. However, unlike a fort type unit it can retreat. Partisan type units are not used in the
standard game scenarios, but are used in one of the Steel Inferno scenarios.
• When a leader is automatically replaced, the system will now attempt to find a leader of suitable
rank, if one is available, before promoting a lower ranking leader.
• Removed the Vehicle Repair line from the left side of the production screen. You can still find the
 number of vehicles in repair on the right side of the production screen.
• Added Living Manual v1.17.pdf file in the \Manuals folder. This is up to date with changes through
game version 1.02.42.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• In some cases the AI depot assist will not function until the game is saved and reloaded. Fixed.
• Fixed typos in logistics report loss by phase section and in send air units back to reserve text.
• Temp port was not retaining its city ID link. Fixed.
• Airbases could end up with over 20 air units, and/or over 300% of airbase capacity. Made
adjustments to transfer routines to prevent this.
• The production screen aircraft build numbers for 2 German aircraft models was increasing by
thousands each turn (display issue only). Fixed.
• Damage to an airbase in a temporary port hex in displaying as overlapping text in the city detail
screen. Fixed.
• Unit moving onto a ferry is incorrectly able to undo its move even after moving next to an enemy
unit. Fixed.
• Vehicles listed as built in the production screen incorrectly includes captured vehicles. Fixed.
• When Soviet corps are broken down, the interface should automatically select the first unit on the
right unit panel. Fixed.
• Air groups in the reserve set to Manual Upgrade are automatically upgrading. Fixed.
• Some ski units were not displaying the ski unit symbol (but were getting their CV bonus). Fixed.
• Editor – Changing the ‘action’ in one action line in an event (example: SET TO) could change
other action lines in the same way. Fixed.
• Editor - Going to the Ground Elements tab in old editor forces you into the new editor. Fixed.

• Changes to icon G0344 and phot GP0756
V1.02.41 – 4th September 2022
New Features and Rule Changes
IMPORTANT NOTE: All save game and scenario files created with this or later versions may only be
loaded with this or a later version. Versions prior to 1.02.37 may not load these newer save game or
scenario files. Old saves and scenarios may be loaded with this and newer versions.
• The odds brackets for the loss of combat preparation points (CPPs) have been changed slightly
from v1.02.39. They are now as follows:
o Deliberate attack
<20 to 1 odds – 50% reduction
>=20<35 to 1 odds – 40% reduction
>=35<50 to 1 odds – 30% reduction
>=50 to 1 odds – 25% reduction
o Hasty attack
<20 to 1 odds – 50% reduction
>=20<35 to 1 odds – 35% reduction
>=35<50 to 1 odds – 20% reduction
>=50 to 1 odds – 10% reduction
• Lowered front line attrition by roughly 30%, although it is still roughly double what it was in
1.02.32.
• Amphibious HQ units may no longer enter ferry hexes.
• Added visibility to losses due to front line attrition in logistics report losses by phase section.
• On map units in reserve mode will no longer commit into hasty attacks.
• Reduced the amount of lend lease vehicles received by the Soviets per turn as follows:
o 1943 - 4500 -> 2500
o 1944 - 6000 -> 4000
o 1945 - 1500 -> 1000

• Improved the system for sending back non-standard OB ground elements during the logistics
phase and when building up units. The system will be less likely to send items that don’t match
the items in the unit TOE, and will better account for items that are subbing in for non-standard
items. However, there is still a chance that items will be sent back due to limited slots and/or
having non-standard items.
• Audited flak code to bring air phase and ground phase flak into alignment. The changes are
expected to bring down flak losses in some cases in the air phase, while increasing them in some
cases in the ground phase.
 • Air unit transfers in the ground phase are no longer reported in the logistics report. These had
been getting reported to both players. Now, only air unit transfers that happen during the logistics
phase are listed in the logistics report, and this info is not in the enemy report.
• Editor Clarification – To create a temp port in the editor, first set the x,y coordinate, player and
nation for a location slot, name the slot. Next, with that slot selected, press the Build Temp Port
option.
• Added Living Manual v1.16.pdf file in the \Manuals folder. This is up to date with changes through
game version 1.02.41.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Air group renaming does not change aircraft as listed in the rename. Fixed.
• Rallying appears to be automatic and not dependent on range to HQ. Fixed.
• Axis vehicles in depots goes negative, resulting in millions of vehicles. Fixed.
• Soviet unit gets freight from an Axis depot. Fixed.
• In some cases, airbases with aircraft never received any ground elements. Fixed.
• Editor - Can't delete objective cities from campaign victory screen. Fixed.
Data and Scenario Changes
• OB.dat file changes – Soviet Mountain units now have their own OB chains and they are
unbuildable. A few other minor OB changes.
• Factory.dat change – Complete review of vehicle factories in Soviet Union, Axis minor and
occupied countries. Reduced vehicle overproduction in Germany.
• 1941 Campaign(s) changes:
o 50k damaged vehicles added to Soviet pool
o several low-priority depots added to supply frozen units in Hungary, Rumania and
Slovakia
o Tyrol removed from Italian Theater Box
o several small scale fixes to events
o several units slightly moved and/or reassigned in Rumanian sector to better match
historical positioning/command structure

• Stalingrad to Berlin and Vistula to Berlin – several minor changes to depots and AOG air profiles
allowed.
• Destruction of Southwest Front – Added 15k damaged vehicles to Soviet pool.
V1.02.39 – 2nd August 2022
New Features and Rule Changes
IMPORTANT NOTE: All save game and scenario files created with this or later versions may only be
loaded with this or a later version. Versions prior to 1.02.37 may not load these newer save game or
scenario files. Old saves and scenarios may be loaded with this and newer versions.
• Increased general front line attrition (damage/destruction of ground elements in units next to an
enemy controlled hex).
• Increased the chance of leaders being dismissed due to perceived poor performance.
• Increased the base costs of dismissing Soviet Front/Army/Corps leaders.
• The loss of combat preparation points (CPPs) by attacking units, instead of always being a 50%
reduction in CPP, is now based on the type of attack and the final combat odds:
o Deliberate attack
<10 to 1 odds – 50% reduction
>=10<20 to 1 odds – 40% reduction
>=20<50 to 1 odds – 30% reduction
>=50 to 1 odds – 25% reduction
o Hasty attack
<10 to 1 odds – 50% reduction
 >=10<20 to 1 odds – 35% reduction
>=20<50 to 1 odds – 20% reduction
>=50 to 1 odds – 10% reduction
• When the sub units of an Axis Division or Soviet Corps reform into the larger unit, the unit with the
lowest CPP value is weighted as if it was two units, when calculating the unit CPP. Example:
When units with 25, 50, and 100 CPPs recombine, the combined unit will have 50 CPPs
((25x2)+50+100/4).
• Adjustments to ground combat:
o Reduced AFV losses, focusing on reducing the extreme losses of AFVs by the losing side
(90%+). Now, as AFV losses climb, there will be a chance that the remaining AFVs will try
to refrain from engaging in combat.
o Increased the willingness of armored cars to engage soft targets.
o Small increase in fire against soft targets.
o Reduced the amount of shots taken by medium flak ground elements, more so against
soft targets than AFVs.
• Changes to Max TOE for Axis units in non-reserve theatre boxes:
o Units will normally have their Max TOE automatically set to 100 when in a non-reserve
theatre box.
o Axis non-motorized, non-elite units, in non-reserve theatre boxes will have their TOE’s
lowered if they do not have the sufficient manpower in their national active manpower
pool as follows:
a) German non-motorized, non-elite units, will be set to Max TOE of 80 if the German
active manpower pool begins the turn below 150,000. They will have Max TOE set to
65 if the pool begins the turn below 75,000.
b) Italian, Romanian, and Hungarian, non-motorized, non-elite units, will be set to Max
TOE of 80 if their national active manpower pool begins the turn below 20,000. They
will have Max TOE set to 65 if the pool begins the turn below 10,000.
c) Finnish non-motorized, non-elite units, will be set to Max TOE of 80 if their national
active manpower pool begins the turn below 10,000. They will have Max TOE set to
65 if the pool begins the turn below 5,000.
d) Slovakian non-motorized, non-elite units, will be set to Max TOE of 80 if their national
active manpower pool begins the turn below 2,000. They will have Max TOE set to 65
if the pool begins the turn below 1,000.
• Removed the additional sound effect clean up routines added in 1.02.32 as they were
unnecessary and they caused some bad side effects.
• Adjusted ground support commitment routines to better ensure that there will rarely be more than
300 aircraft committed to any one battle. Also, increased the chance that the Soviets will commit
less bombers to any battle before 1943.
• Increased the chance that level bombers will destroy or damage an element when conducting
ground support (more so for defensive ground support), as opposed to just disrupting.
• Soviet vehicle mobilization during the first 10 turns of the war will now mobilize 60% of the original
number of vehicles. Instead of 260,000 vehicles mobilized, The Soviets will mobilize 156,000
vehicles.
• Changed the display of air unit range circles shown in the AOG view for fighters and fighter-
bombers that are set to Mission: Fighter. They used to show a purple line equal to their escort
range, but now, they show the purple line equal to their combat (intercept/patrol) range. The unit
detail screen has been changed so that for fighters and fighter-bombers set to mission:fighter,
show escort range/intercept (combat) range. Clicking on a hex with an airbase in the normal map
view (with no ground unit in the hex), will still show both the green (escort range) circle, and the
purple (combat range) circle, for each air unit at the airbase.
• Added x and y coordinate columns to the CR screen for ground units.
• Entrained units are no longer susceptible to first winter rules.
• The Reinforcement & Transfers screen now has a new Renames tab under the Units and Air
Groups tabs. The Renames tab shows all scheduled ground and air unit renames, as well as
some information about these renames.
 • Editor – A new editor is under construction. It is possible to switch back and forth between the
new and the old editors when on the editor main screen. The old editor is still fully functional,
except for unit and air group renames. These renames must be done in the new editor. Each
rename no longer takes up a slot in the editor. Instead, all the rename info is contained in the
original unit’s slot. Note there is now expanded search capability. For a directed search with
multiple words, start with a quote (“) sign to limit the search. The new editor has improved use of
larger screens and in-game scaling, but is not yet fully functional. Work is continuing to complete
full functionality in the new editor.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• German and Italian leaders are never promoted. Fixed.
• Ground units in the Axis national reserve were skipping key logistics routines that increase
morale/experience and deal with damaged elements. Fixed.
• Fixed another bug that was causing defensive ground support to completely miss all targets.
• The Max TOE values of human controlled German units were, under some rare conditions, being
altered during the Soviet AI turn. Fixed.
• Axis Allied units can merge into German units. Fixed.
• Air transport freight airdrops are benefitting when delivering to hexes with size 0 airfields (airfields
starting construction). Fixed.
• Units that required a very small amount of support help were not receiving it as they should
(example: Motorized Flak Companies). Fixed.
• Fixed rollover text over requested aircraft in the air directive creation panel (used to say required
aircraft).
• AI – Brigades in city forts could be moved out of the city fort by the AI in a way that had it showing
in two locations at once. Fixed.
• AI – Improved the Axis AI use of Max TOE settings based on manpower remaining in the national
manpower pools.
• AI – Improved Axis rail repair in Road to Leningrad.

V1.02.32 – 23rd June 2022
New Features and Rule Changes
IMPORTANT NOTE: All save game and scenario files created with this or later versions may only be
loaded with this or a later version. Versions prior to 1.02.32 may not load these newer save game or
scenario files. Old saves and scenarios may be loaded with this and newer versions.
• HQs on map and in the national reserve may now be placed into refit mode. This can be done on
the CR screen or by right clicking on the unit within the Reserve box on the map.
• Added more frequent use of clean up routines for processes created by sound effects.
• Editor - Added an option to disable the Soviet ability to create new units. When disabled, the build
new unit menu button does not appear (and the hotkey will not function).
• Editor - Added a function to clear all ground element and aircraft production pools.
• Editor – Added a function to remove off playable map depots, and zero out their vehicles and
freight.
• Errata: Undocumented rules - For a deliberate attack there are some important modifiers. If the
attacker (in the current phase) or the defender (in the previous phase) has moved the relevant HQ
there is a -1 modifier to the chance of a Support Unit being committed. If the attacker has not
moved their HQ in the current turn, then there is a +3 bonus to the chance of a Support Unit
commitment.
• Errata: In addition to the rules above, a Soviet Rifle Corps can be formed with 3 rifle brigades.
This will follow the usual rules for Guards/non-Guards status and will need at least one turn to refit
to full strength
• Added Living Manual v1.13.pdf file in the \Manuals folder. This is up to date with changes through
game version 1.02.27.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Crash in CR screen after filtering down a list of units that had been created by clicking in the
Production screen on the number of units using a specific weapon (like Romanian Rifle Squad
39). Fixed.
• Airbase units switch support to Hiwis but get no support. Fixed by never allowing Hiwis into
airbases. This will also correct existing games.
• Airbases don’t send men back to the pool when no a/c are at the base. Fixed.
• Scroll is missing from list of cities in campaign victory screen. Fixed.
 • Editor - CR/Production link for units with a specific weapon produces incorrect numbers when
filtering on the CR screen. Fixed.
• Editor - Improved ability to move/edit air groups without altering AOG assignments.
• Editor - Generic factory data is displaying incorrectly in editor. Fixed.
Data and Scenario Changes
• 1941 Campaign(s) changes:
o 19th Panzer division - OB change to Czech tank based PzDiv OB 31, added some
missing ground elements
o 8th Italian Army - arrives directly to MAP
• Ac.dat file changes:

USV field guns
o over 125 other minor changes to ground elements
• Photos for ground elements 290, 424,540,541
• Ob.dat changes – Added reduced size Soviet Rifle Corps to be used in future scenarios.
V1.02.29 – 13th May 2022
New Features and Rule Changes
• Several tweaks were made to reduce the intensity of air to air combat.
• Added a line to the scenario victory screen to display victory points scored from Events (campaign
victory screen already shows event points).
• Editor – Added the ability to Lock Generic Data in a scenario file. On the main tab in the editor,
selecting yes will allow you to alter generic data in your scenario file, save the changes in your
scenario, and not have the changes overwritten when loading the scenario. This functions as it did
in WitW. There are 16 generic/semi-generic files. When you have these locked, there is the ability
to either update your scenario with all of these files, or check just those you want to use to update
and click on the ‘update selected generic data’ option. Locking the generic data in a scenario file
will only impact the scenario. Note that for the 3 semi-generic files, only some of the data in these
files have been treated as generic (i.e. things like depot levels and storage in cities are not generic
 and never required locking in order to make changes in each scenario, while the name of a city is
generic and to change this in a scenario would require locking). Note: Currently you will not see all
the generic files listed if using a minimum resolution display. A height of at least 960 is required.
This will be corrected in future versions when we add in-game scaling to the editor.
• Editor – Added the ability to set starting number of ships in the production screen. Also added the
ability to set the number of ships in Lake Ladoga.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Combat execution slowdown caused by a bug fix in v1.02.27. Fixed.
• Theater box garrison values, and CV values of units in the unit display were dropping the 0 to the
right of the decimal place (i.e. 0.08 was displaying as 0.8). Fixed.
• At minimum resolution, in the production screen the number of ships was not displaying in all sea
zones. Fixed.
• Game crashed during set weather phase of the logistics phase. Fixed.
Data and Scenario Changes
• Ob.dat file changes:
o Fixed Sturm Brigade so that it fields 88 FlaK instead of 88 PaK
o Removed the Soviet "upgrade" from Corps Artillery Regiment to Corps Artillery Battalion
o Renamed Reduced Shtat Rifle Division OBs to Reduced Shtat RDs so they are not
created by combining two rifle brigades. These OBs are intended for smaller scenarios
and their size has been set to brigade.
• Ground.dat and device.dat files – Several minor corrections including but not limited to:
o 12.7mm Breda AAMG corrected to size 1
o speed of the Panzer Pioneer 44 squad corrected to 6
o Soviet Churchill IV 6 Pounder accuracy corrected to 675

V1.02.27 – 22nd Apr 2022
New Features and Rule Changes
• Air units with custom loadouts are now set to Auto loadout, during the logistics phase, if the
availability date of their loadout has passed.
• Increased the fuel used by aircraft each time they engage in air to air combat, thus reducing their
ability to engage large numbers of enemy aircraft in any one mission.
• Editor – Changed the default air doctrine settings that are created when the Init Air Doctrines
function is used on the air doctrine screen in the editor.
• Manual Addendum: Fighters, and fighter bombers with a Mission setting of Fighter, display their
escort range for radius in their air unit detail screen. Fighter bombers with a Mission setting of
Bomber, display their combat range (in this case bombing range) for radius in their air unit detail
screen. When the range circles are shown on map using the AOG functionality if the unit consists
of fighter bombers one of two circles will be shown. If its Mission setting is Fighter, the purple
circle will show the area within which it can escort missions. If the FB’s Mission setting is Bomber
then a purple circle will be shown indicating the range over which the plane can fly to strike a
ground target. This distance is 4/3 further than the escort range, but is usually then lowered due to
having a bomb loadout (this can be checked on the load out tab for the air unit). If an airbase has
aircraft but no ground units present in the hex, then left-clicking on the hex will generate one or
two range circles depending on the aircraft at the airbase. The green circle is the greatest escort
 range of any fighters or fighter bombers with Mission set to Fighter that are at the base. The
purple circle is the greatest combat range of any air unit at the base. So if the airbase only has
level bombers only the purple combat range circle will be shown but for fighters and fighter
bombers with their Mission set to Fighter, both the shorter escort and the combat range circles are
shown.
• Added Living Manual v1.12.pdf file in the \Manuals folder. This is up to date with changes through
game version 1.02.27.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Several bug fixes and adjustments for flak:
o Defending side ground support was not being properly fired at by attacking side flak
support units. Fixed.
o Axis flak during June 22 1941 turns was being reduced along with Soviet flak. Fixed.
o Flak and bombing for air units that were diving down to 1000 feet were not being handled
correctly for ground support. Fixed.
o The listing of the number of guns being reported in the battle report as contributing flak
has been improved to be more accurate re the exact number of guns that contributed flak
value against the enemy air mission.
o The current turn column of the losses screen was often showing higher flak losses than
were actually occurring. Fixed.
o Other miscellaneous changes/improvements were made as the flak code was reviewed.
• Several fixes were made involving displacement of HQs and support units in the HQs:
o Support units in non-isolated HQs in isolated hexes (units just surrounded during the
current player turn) are being destroyed when forced to displace. Fixed.
o HQ units in airhead supply that are forced to displace are being destroyed. Fixed.
o AI – AI support units in HQs that voluntarily displace, while isolated or in airhead supply,
are not being destroyed. Fixed.
• Air units, on vary rare occasions, have 255 damaged aircraft. Fixed.
• Units in city forts, and fort type units, are prepping for amphibious invasions, which causes several
issues when an invasion is ordered. It was not intended that these units be allowed to prep for
invasions. This has been blocked so no further preparation is possible. If you have been prepping
any of these kinds of units, we strongly advise you not launch an invasion while those units are
still in the hex with the amphibious HQ.
• AI and AI Air Assist – Improved the air AI so it tries not to fly air transport missions in bad weather
except to resupply isolated units. Bad weather is heavy rain, snow and blizzard. Other
improvements to air transport missions were made, including eliminating missions to hexes more
than 25 hexes from supplied enemy units.
Data and Scenario Changes
• Ob.dat file – Removed duplicate AT-rifles in OB slot 272.
• 1941 Campaign(s) changes:
o Adjusted starting air directives, air doctrines and pilot pools. Note: We’ve tried to improve
the Axis 22 June 1941 airfield attacks and other air directives, causing as much damage
to the Soviet air force while reducing Axis air losses where possible. For players using the
AI Air Assist, you’ll want to push the button to activate it on turn 2 (if using auto AI air
assist, this will happen automatically). Experienced players are free to delete these air
directives (easiest from the Air Directive Summary screen) and create their own. Changes
to the starting air doctrines have also been made to generally maximize effectiveness and
minimize losses. Players are encouraged to review the standard air doctrines, experiment
with changes, and adjust them to suit their air force play style and goals.
o Added event 137 alerting the Soviet player of the imminent disbanding of rifle/mech corps
HQs.
o Changed several Axis Baltic ports to export ports.
o Changed depot priorities of Bucharest and Buzau to 1.
o Changes to land units:
999th Afrika Mot Bde - rename removed, demotorized, set to 65 exp/morale (penal unit)

motorcycles, unit comprised of 999th Inf Bns)
all 999th set to rebuild restricted (except III/999th Howitzer Bn)
all 999th start with full-strength squads, just lacking MG and heavier weapons

V1.02.25 – 28th Mar 2022
New Features and Rule Changes
• Non-motorized units in the Axis non-reserve Theatre Boxes will now on occasion automatically
adjust their Max TOE levels. Generally these Max TOE levels will be lower than 100% when there
is less manpower available in the pool. This is something the AI was already doing, and we
realized we should be doing the same for the human player forces since they cannot be controlled
by the human player. The impact will be lower force levels in the Axis non-reserve Theatre Boxes,
especially later in the game.
• Destroyed units that rebuild are arriving in the reserve set to 100 Max TOE. They should arrive set
to 0. Fixed. Note, players will have to consciously increase the unit’s Max TOE for it to receive
replacements. ---- This item was originally noted as a bug fix in version 1.02.14, but as it was
never mentioned in the manual, it appears it was more of a rule change to bring it in line with
WitW, than a bug fix. In any case, it has been in operation since 1.02.14 and it is very important
players realize these units won’t take replacements until the player increases their Max TOE from
0.
• Added Living Manual v1.11.pdf file in the \Manuals folder. This is up to date with changes through
game version 1.02.24.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Moscow depot in isolated pocket incorrectly received freight points, due to trucks from outside the
pocket returning to the depot and then converting to freight (this also incorrectly triggered airhead
supply for the pocket). Fixed.
• Game crashes upon loading a save made after the German air execution phase. In the air phase
a ground attack air directive had bombed units in a city fort, causing data corruption. Fixed.

Carriage).
• OB.dat file – Corrected OB 2256 for 44 Type 2 Infantry Division (support squads were incorrectly
listed as manpower).
V1.02.24 – 14th Mar 2022
New Features and Rule Changes
• Changes impacting combat in “high intensity” combat (combat versus defenders in heavy
urban/urban/port hexes):
o Many different combat adjustments that generally reduce losses in high intensity combat,
for both sides.
o Isolated units suffer additional penalties in high intensity combat. Units must be fully
isolated and not in aerial re-supply, not just be in isolated hexes, to suffer these additional
penalties.
o The attackers in a failed high intensity attack take no retreat attrition.
• Changes to combat delay rules:
o A deliberate attack that fails, versus a defender in a non-isolated hex in urban/heavy
urban/port, adds 9 to the combat delay. A hasty attack in this case adds 5 combat delay.
o Hexes that have 9 (maximum) combat delay may not be attacked.
o Note: Bombardment attacks (2 hex range artillery only attacks) cause no combat delay
(this has always been the case).
• Manual Addendum: Changing the Intensity setting shown on the Air Directive (right side of map)
Window for an air directive, changes the Air Doctrine intensity setting for the given type of air
directive, for the controlling Air Command. Changing this, will also automatically alter all ADs of
the same type, within the Air Command, that are not using a Custom intensity. Players wishing to
alter the intensity of only one air directive, should set a Custom value by manually setting the
Strike Num for the air directive.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Changes to ground combat that effectively reduces the number of shots taken by AFVs that have
been shot at, with by far the greatest impact on low experience/morale ground elements. We
found experience/morale checks were inadvertently left out of one of the routines that allowed
AFVs to return fire.
• Kherson is not receiving any sea shipments of freight. Fixed.
• The final ground combat odds are sometimes expressed as a negative number. Fixed.
• Editor – Pressing ‘next’ in the device screen crashes the game. Fixed.
Data and Scenario Changes
• ob.dat file – Guard Tank Corps OBs have been linked to Tank Corps OBs. This should allow the
building of a guards tank corps with 2 or 3 guards brigades if a guards tank corps OB is available
on the date of creation.
• ground.dat file change - Panzer IIIf (0438) end date extended from 3/42 to 6/42.
• device.dat file changes:
o 170mm K18 L/50 Gun ROF increased from 1 to 2.

V1.02.21 – 20th February 2022
New Features and Rule Changes
• The baseline chance a displaced/relocated HQ will lose a leader was changed, from 15% (50% if
isolated), as follows:
o June 1941 – 5% (10% if isolated)
o July 1941 – 10% (15% if isolated)
o All other dates – 15% (30% if isolated)
o Note: in-game loss percentages, on average, appear to be slightly higher than these
baseline values.
• No more than one leader may be killed, per player turn within any given HQ, due to HQ
displacement/relocation.
• HQs that have lost a leader due to displacement/relocation may suffer an additional MP reduction
at the start of their next logistics phase.
• Added Living Manual v1.10.pdf file in the \Manuals folder. This is up to date with changes through
game version 1.02.21.

v01.02.20 – 12th February 2022
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Many ferry hexes are showing as Soviet controlled when they should not. Fixed.
• Air transport mission op losses were lower than other air mission op losses. Fixed. A part of the
normal op loss formula was missing for air transports. With this fix, you will see much higher
 transport op losses (still low in daytime good weather missions). Op losses in bad weather will be
noticeable. Op losses at night will be bad. Op losses at night in bad weather will be horrible (don’t
do it).
• Units ordered by the player to move from a TB (including reserve) to the map during a campaign
game have their vehicles zeroed out. Fixed.
• Changing red color value for Set Formation Color does not work when using in-game scaling over
100%. Fixed.
• AI – Improved AI to reduce chance the AI will launch a very weak/bad hasty attack.
Data and Scenario Changes
• Gtype file – Changes in air group profiles:
o FI Fighter changed from 36-12-4 to 40-10-3 (some units had 4 operating
flights of ~10 each)
o FI Bomber changed from 36-12-4 to 18-6-3 (some units had three operating
flights of ~6 each)
o FI Recon changed from 36-12-4 to 18-6-3 (some units had three
operating flights of ~6 each)
• CityOwner file – Added city capture dates for some cities in the Balkans.
• OB file – Minor additions/adjustments to OBs, primarily for expansion scenarios.
• Device and ground files - Fixed the 20mm vz.36 and added a Bulgarian Air Support element
(1596).
• Photos for ground elements 0242 and 1596.
• Leader file - raised the values of some Italian leaders (including Messe)
• Multiple map data files with changes in Finland for future scenarios. Also relocated maptext for
Kiorstovo.
v01.02.19 – 31st January 2022
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Defensive ground support often totally misses the target. Fixed.
• Fixed several corner cases where isolation was being applied to hexes where it shouldn’t due to
ports having a connection with in supply ports (in the southern Caucasus and the Baltic Islands).
• Pressing F12 during a ground combat will freeze the game. Fixed.
• Made adjustments to the drop down engine code in an attempt to reduce the chance of
rare/random game crashes caused by use of drop downs.
• Game crashes when viewing air units in the TBs. Fixed.
• Intercepts of air transport missions deep behind enemy lines are happening again. Fixed.
• AI Air Assist - Puts Ostsee aircraft into JG77 when FKIV is set to naval ops. Fixed.
• AI – German AI withdraws from Leningrad area prematurely and also doesn’t defend its flanks
near Leningrad in C41. Fixed.
• AI – Minor improvements to AI in small scenarios.
Data and Scenario Changes
• OB file – Minor additions and changes primarily for future expansion scenarios.
• Leader file – Changes to Soviet Allied leaders.
• Photos – New photos for Soviet Allied leaders.
• Campaign 1941 and C41 Early End :
o I./1st Hun. Ftr Grp - remove disband
o fixed name of LXXXXIX Corps
o fixed setup of Wismar/Elbing airbases
o fixed setup of LW Kdo East/Luftflotte 6
v01.02.15 – 15th January 2022
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Areas that should be in supply via ports are showing as isolated (Baltic Islands, cut off ports like
Odessa – new bug created in 1.02.14). Fixed.
• Leaders in HQs forcibly displaced were not being killed as often as they should (15% non-
isolated/50% isolated). Fixed.
• AI - Axis AI freezes at 33% of movement phase. Fixed.
 • AI – Improved Axis Attacking AI so it should not leave large gaps in its lines at the end of its turn.
v01.02.14 – 10th January 2022
New Features and Rule Changes
• Several additional changes to flak. Flak during the air execution phase had inadvertently been
increased in a recent update. This change was removed. The chance for flak hits was also
reduced across the board in all phases.
• Increased the chance of intercept of air transport missions. You should now see air transport
missions close to the front line and especially over enemy territory being intercepted. Given this
change, along with the air transport fix noted below once again allowing escorts, be careful with
flying unescorted transports near the front line. Intercepts well be limited far into enemy territory.
• Theater boxes (including the reserve) are now limited during the logistics phase in that they will
never use more than 2/3 of the trained pilots that begin the replacement phase in the pool. 1/3 of
the trained pilots are reserved for air units on the map, which receive their replacements after the
theater boxes.
• Added details about non-afv fire in the combat report at high combat message levels (6 and 7).
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Note regarding the Losses screen: The ‘Current Turn’ column losses by reason
(A2A/flak/ground/operational) are often incorrect. Several reasons for this were fixed in this
update, but there are still cases where these losses will be incorrect, too high or too low. The Total
column losses are correct, as are the losses by aircraft type, and the losses on the left side of the
screen losses by aircraft model. We will continue to try to improve the losses by reason (and the
total that appears in the Current Turn column), but for now, you have to use the losses by aircraft
type to get an accurate view of current turn losses.
• Destroyed units that rebuild are arriving in the reserve set to 100 Max TOE. They should arrive set
to 0. Fixed. Note, players will have to consciously increase the unit’s Max TOE for it to receive
replacements.
• Not able to assign escorts to air transport missions. Fixed.
• Access to Inland Port is not preventing area from being isolated. Fixed.
• Axis Allied nationalities are not importing captured equipment. Fixed.
• Interdiction caused by Ground Attack/Interdiction is much higher than by Ground Attack/Unit
missions that switch to interdiction. Fixed.
• Entrained static units come out of static mode automatically at no AP charge. Fixed.
• When air groups is sent to TB/Reserve aircraft loss is not recorded when damaged plane is
destroyed. Fixed.
• Game crashes during AI Air Assist in the air planning phase. Fixed.
v01.02.13 – 24th December 2021
New Features and Rule Changes
• Several changes to flak, some bug fixes (especially in what flak guns were listed as participating),
some adjustments to formulas, with the net being a major reduction in flak losses. Also reduced
air to air and op losses.
• Several changes to ground combat, including reducing the effectiveness of towed guns in the
attack, and adjustments to mortars. Also added a chance for indirect fire weapons to participate in
hasty attacks (on both sides). If they participate, their rate of fire will be greatly reduced.
• Scaled HQ set color window and ground element/aircraft icons.
• Change to Logistics – It is possible for supplies and fuel in cities to automatically be converted to
freight in the depot in the hex, with the supplies and freight returning to the pool (I don’t think this
was ever documented but has always been the case). This has now been changed so it no longer
happens in isolated cities.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Enemy equipment is imported even when none is in the captured pool, as it could incorrectly take
from the enemy equipment pool of the weapon instead of the friendly pool of captured equipment.
Fixed.
• Fixed a problem when air units that don’t have the same number of aircraft and pilots are sent
from the map to the reserve. Now, if there are more pilots than aircraft, the excess pilots will be
removed from the unit and put in the free pilot pool. If the unit has more aircraft than pilots, the
 extra aircraft will be sent to the pool.
Data and Scenario Changes

• Ob changes:
o Added reduced infantry division OBs for Germans (three are variations of 2 regiments with 3
battalions and three variants of 3 regiments with 2 battalions). For expansion scenarios.
o Added Kampfgruppe OBs for Infantry Divisions, Panzer Divisions and
Motorized/Panzergrenadier Divisions. All kampfgruppes are brigade sized and are about 6-8k
men. Infantry KGs are based around a single infantry regiment and its artillery regiment.
Panzer KGs are based on a single panzergrenadier regiments, artillery regiment and a single
panzer battalion. Mot/Panzergrenadier KGs are based on a single panzergrenadier regiment
and artillery regiment. If any unit becomes depleted in the scenario, it automatically
"upgrades" to the Kampfgruppe OB. For expansion scenarios.
o Some of my OB upgrade paths of the new OBs were broken and have been fixed.

v01.02.12 – 15th December 2021
New Features and Rule Changes
• This version includes the War in the West editor manual in the /Manuals folder that was
accidentally left out of the 1.02.11 official update. Although there are many differences between
the WitW and WitE2 editors, the WitW editor manual is a useful guide to understanding the WitE2
editor.
• Greatly reduced the chance that more men show as disrupted in the combat report detail than
were in the battle. If it happens, this indicates an element has been disrupted more than once.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Day/night button on top menu display not appearing during air transport ops. Fixed.
• Can air transport any unit into an enemy hex adjacent to friendly airbase and it acts like an
airborne drop. Fixed (not allowed into enemy hexes).
• More AT guns are built than the build limit. Fixed.
• Guards Rifle Corps was incorrectly downgraded to a Guards Rifle Division. Unit used to create
corps had a rename that was not cleared that should have been cleared at the time of corps
creation. Fixed.
• AI - Soviet unit warps to near Vienna (far behind enemy lines). Fixed.
 • AI – Improved Axis AI in late war.
v01.02.11 – 8th December 2021
New Features and Rule Changes
• Reduced the chance of indirect fire disruption hits.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Game crashes during ground combat. Fixed.
• AI – AI warps units into an isolated pocket. Fixed.
v01.02.08 – 2nd December 2021
New Features and Rule Changes
• Reduced the chance that HE fire by non-infantry type weapons will gain extra shots during direct
fire phases.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Escorts are not flying in ground support air missions. Fixed.
• Vehicles in isolated depots are being returned to the pool in exchange for freight. If enough are
sent back, this can make the pocket think it is in airhead supply. Isolated trucks should not be
returning vehicles. Fixed.
• Soviet Romanian HQs are being disbanded automatically for the human player. Fixed.
• AI - Axis AI moves a unit into an enemy controlled hex without taking control of the hex, and is
then destroyed. Fixed.
v01.02.06 – 17th November 2021
New Features and Rule Changes
IMPORTANT NOTE: All save game and scenario files created with this or later versions may only be
loaded with this or a later version. Versions prior to 1.02.06 may not load these newer save game or
scenario files. Old saves and scenarios may be loaded with this and newer versions.
• New rule - A mission generated by a ground attack air directive that is performing an attack on a
unit has a chance of having the mission converted to an interdiction attack. The chance of
switching to interdiction increases with the number of movement points expended by the unit in
the unit’s prior turn, and increases against units smaller than divisions.
• Changes/Clarifications with flak
o Clarification – A ground element can be counted multiple times in a single battle report in
the list of anti-aircraft elements. This is because the attack is broken up into ‘flights’, and
each flight has the chance of being engaged by a ground element. So, a ground element
could fire at 6 different flights and be counted 6 times.
o Non-flak elements were being added into the anti-aircraft count in cases when they
should not have been. This was a display only issue as they weren’t actually adding to the
anti-aircraft value firing at the aircraft. This has been fixed.
o Non-flak elements will never fire at aircraft flying into or through and adjacent hex. This
was rare before, but has been removed entirely.
o Increased the importance of aircraft armor in mitigating damage from flak.
o Reduced op losses for day missions and ground support. Also, fixed the function that was
supposed to credit some aircraft damaged by flak, that crashed during landing routine, as
flak losses. This was incorrectly always counting them as op losses.
• AFV losses in combat were tweaked down slightly.
• Production of guns with build limits was limited when the amount in the pool exceeded 10x the
build limit. This limit has been changed to 100x the build limit.
• Increased op losses for night missions for pilots with experience less than 70 experience, with
those under 60 experience experiencing roughly double the op losses previously experienced.
• Reduced night bombing accuracy by air units that do not have navigational aids (currently only
Allies in War in the West have them).
• Until the Axis control a port on the Caspian Sea, every Caspian Sea hex will automatically receive
20 interdiction points at the end of each air execution phase (enough to make the hexes Soviet
controlled).
• Made changes to the layout of the right side of the campaign victory screen.
• Editor - Set hex sea zone and weather zone values as fully generic.
• Editor – Hooked up ability to set an event to activate in the air planning phase (actually executes
 at the end of the logistics phase).
• This version includes the War in the West editor manual in the /Manuals folder. Although there are
many differences between the WitW and WitE2 editors, the WitW editor manual is a useful guide
to understanding the WitE2 editor.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Display of load outs - Air group loadouts listed in CR don't show the same as in the air unit detail
screen
• CR screen was very slow to respond in certain coming expansion scenarios. Fixed.
• Heavy tank regiments are not built with guards designation. Fixed.
• Editor - Button to cancel withdrawals for units in the editor does not work. Fixed.
• Editor – Can’t change sea zone of some ports in scenarios. Fixed.
• Support units are not being committed to battle during the first turn of a scenario if the first player
is played by the AI. Fixed.
• Dynamic hex sea zone value is not changed when changing sea zone in editor, so it keeps
displaying old value. Fixed.
• Show AD targets rollover text is incorrect on the last button which should read Active Targets
Only. Fixed.
• Metrics screen logistics phase losses are always showing 0 in Metrics. Fixed.
• Fixed several bugs with the campaign city bonus victory points.
• AI – During first turn AI script, support units are not getting included in combats. Fixed.
Data and Scenario Changes
• Ob.dat changes – These changes reported in 1.02.00 were accidentally left out but were included
in 1.02.01:

v01.02.01 – 28th October 2021
New Features and Rule Changes
• Added new preference screen items:
o Show videos – Defaulted on, this allows you to turn off opening and end game videos.
o Export Battle Details (CSV) – Defaulted off, when on it will generate a report In the /logs
folder inside the save directory for the game. The report will contain the high detail level
messages from combat.
o Pre-logistics Auto Save – Defaulted off, when on a save will automatically be created just
before the start of each player’s logistics phase.
• Lowered the chance of intercepting transports missions that are flying behind friendly lines (further
from the front the lower the chance of intercepts).
• Rule Clarification – It is possible for vehicles to transport freight from one depot to another depot
that is not connected to the rail grid. This is generally rare, but possible.
• Added Living Manual v1.08.pdf file in the \Manuals folder. This is up to date with changes through
game version 1.01.15.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements

v01.01.15 – 12th October 2021
New Features and Rule Changes
• For a unit on the map to disband or be sent to a theater box, it must now be more than 8 hexes
from enemy units. To be able to send a unit to a TB, it must also be on a connected rail hex. Other
limitations/restrictions re disbanding and transferring to a theater box remain unchanged.
• Multiple changes to Assault HQ rules:
o The command point multipliers for HQs in Assault HQs are now:
Date Axis Army Axis Corps // Soviet Front Soviet Army&Corps
1941 1.34 1.17 // no bonus no bonus
1942 1.34 1.17 // 1.10 1.10
1943 1.34 1.17 // 1.34 1.25
1944 1.34 1.17 // 1.67 1.34
1945 1.34 1.17 // 1.67 1.34
o Limits on maximum number of Assault HQs are now:
Date Axis Soviet
1941 4 2
1942 3 2
1943 3 3
1944 2 4
1945 2 4
• Changes made to ground combat. Increased the range at which the opening direct fire shots are
fired, while increasing the amount of fire at these longer ranges. Increased the number of rounds
of combat between opening range and 50 yard combat. Opening ranges will be longer for clear
and less dense terrain. Net effect of combat changes increases overall losses slightly.
 • When captured, airbases will have their ground element experience seeded at the level of the
owning sides air national morale.
• Now when a corps is created using 2 or 3 guards units, if an appropriate guards OB is not
available, the newly formed corps will not be a guards unit. A data change in this version delays
the first available Guards Tank Corps to December 1942, and the first available Guards
Mechanized Corps to November 1942. So merging guards brigades before these dates will not
result in a guards corps.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Escorts not flying in ground support (usually when enemy has ground support turned off). Fixed.
• Cavalry units are being allowed to temporarily motorize. Fixed.
• Movement FOW turned on is preventing movement over a ferry hex into an enemy controlled hex
with no enemy units. Fixed.
• Some units have their transfer flag set during a scripted withdrawal, and it is never turned off. This
causes them to show incorrectly in the CR screen as still being in transfer. Fixed.
• Very weak units being displaced while isolated could shatter or rout out of a pocket instead of
surrendering. Fixed.
• AFVs could sometimes return fire at a range greater than their weapon’s range. Fixed.
• Units lose lots of ammo and in some cases their ammo on hand goes negative. Fixed.
• Rollover text over Command Efficiency button is wrong. Fixed.
• Stacks with X for CV value have attacker CV value showing instead of MPs. Fixed.
• When creating new Soviet units in the reserve, they could get a name already used by an active
unit. Fixed.
• AI controlled city forts are participating in attacks. Fixed.
• Soviet AI puts NKPS units in Rostov city fort. Fixed.
• Axis Ai attaches 2 German infantry regiments to Soviet 6th Army. Fixed.
• Axis AI changes human Batumi to export port. Fixed.

• Vistula to Berlin – Changes made to fix map issues similar to changes in Campaign 1941.
v01.01.10 – 15th September 2021
New Features and Rule Changes
• Top bar now responds to display scaling setting.
• Blocked FBD/NKPS units from being able to be temporarily motorized.
• Adjusted the way limited freight national supply sources are used in non-campaign scenarios. The
net effect will be the NSS’s in non-campaign scenarios will be more easily accessed for freight
shipments to depots.
• Isolated forts with ‘Partisan’ in the name will not automatically become depleted when not stacked
with a combat unit.
• Rule Clarification – Air Superiority and Naval Patrol missions always fly first, irrespective of priority
settings.
• Rule Clarification – The intensity level setting in the AD creation right panel, actually represents
the current air doctrine setting. Changing this for an AD, actually changes the air doctrine setting
to match for the current air command, and changes all similar ADs. If the player wishes to change
one AD only, they should change the strike num setting.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Non-isolated support units in HQs are destroyed if they are in a hex where combat takes place
and they lose the combat. Fixed.
• In some cases, units in isolated hexes that were able to trace to isolated Kronstadt were
displacing out of the pocket, instead of surrendering. Fixed.
• There were cases where Assault HQs, or HQs under Assault HQs could be overloaded or outside
of their command range, and the units would still receive bonuses of being under an Assault HQ.
Fixed.
• Incorrect/phantom ground losses are reported during air transport of a units. Fixed.
• Temp motorized unit that rallies from rout has 32470 MPs. Fixed.
• Using x from city detail to send unit back to HQ causes it to be effectively destroyed. Fixed

instead of two.
o Added 44 upgrade path for the Soviet Heavy Anti-Tank Regiment.
• Factory.dat update:
o 1834 Staritsa (217,122) - not on rail so Railyard removed

v01.01.09 – 27th August 2021

New Features and Rule Changes
• Reordered some of the ground elements on the left side of the Production screen to make them
appear in a more logical order.
• In-game scaling - Scaled air unit load out window and server message window.
• Added Living Manual v1.06.pdf file in the \Manuals folder. This is up to date with changes through
game version 1.01.09.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Support units are destroyed when non-isolated HQs displace (should only happen for isolated
HQs). Fixed.
• Depot in isolated hex inside a pocket delivers freight to non-isolated outside the pocket 3 or less
hexes away. Fixed.
• Sometimes fighters could not fly escort for transports if they had any previous miles flown. Fixed,
they should now be available to escort and will try to fly if assigned.
• Fighter escorts in ground support and air transport could, in some cases, be charged more miles
flown, and suffer more op losses than they should have. Fixed.
• Ending the turn of a Multiplayer game when disconnected to the internet could cause a corruption
of the game’s player turn order if the turn is ended again and successfully uploaded. Fixed. Now,
the player will get a message that the upload has unsuccessful, and it will allow the player to try
again. If the player is not able to reconnect to the internet and successfully upload the save, the
 player can exit the game without corrupting the game on the server (but they will lose whatever
has been done during the current session). Players with very frequent connectivity issues should
consider the benefits of using PBEM instead of MP.
• Adjusting music volume doesn't take immediate effect/impacts mouse click. Fixed.
• Production screen - ground element list on left doesn't scale when show types is turned on. Fixed.
• Airfield detail display - airfield capacity number goes very big negative value. Fixed.
• Y/N confirmation window for applying loadouts can appear behind other windows when at lower
resolutions. Fixed.
• Combining 2 brigades on map to make division (via buildup) causes multiple units with same
name. Fixed.
• Rocket units always get built named 500th even when there are already units with that name.
Fixed.
• Can Merge a unit even when the player has no APs. Fixed.
• Created railyards in depots built in airfield only locations do not show up in city detail screen.
Fixed.

v01.01.07 – 17th August 2021

New Features and Rule Changes
• Changed rules for isolated support/multi-role units inside HQs when the HQ displaces (either
through relocate order or forced displacement). Now those units will be destroyed when the HQ
displaces. As with surrenders, some small amount of men and equipment can escape to the pool.
• Reduced the number of fighters that are assigned by default to air transport missions.
• Reduced by 50% the chance of pilots being killed when an operational loss is recorded.
• Added Living Manual v1.05.pdf file in the \Manuals folder. This is up to date with changes through
game version 1.01.07.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Can’t access MP games using 1.01.03 version. Fixed.
• Multi-role units can't convert back to be on map units (no 'Convert' showing in their unit detail
screen). Fixed.
• CR screen - Location/Storage tab SU column always shows 0. Fixed.
• Export ports not receiving freight. Fixed.
• Units are sometimes surrendering when they should be routing instead. Fixed. Note: You may
have to go through a logistics phase for the bug to be fixed in existing games as a unit’s data may
already be corrupted in a way that would force it to surrender instead of routing.
• Partisans are operating less effectively than they should in non-campaign scenarios, especially in
low partisan areas. Fixed.
• Corrected spelling of High (Hight) Water Mark in Multiplayer screen.
• AI assist naval ops setting bad stage base and not including nav patrol aircraft from Romanian Air
Command. Improved.
• AI – Improved Axis AI line forming just north of the Sea of Azov in 1943.
• AI – Improved Axis pull back in Baltic States.

v01.01.03 – 9th August 2021

New Features and Rule Changes
• Added in-game scaling for all right side panels (factory navigation, turn summary, Air Directive
creation, right unit bar) and for supply details window. At this point, all parts of the game except for
the top bar area are impacted by the display scaling percentage preference item. Note that you
will see issues with these right side changes in the editor if you are running at over 100% (best to
use the editor at 100%).
• The supply priority of naval units are automatically set to 4 at the start of every logistics phase.
• Reduced the effect the range of the mission has on op losses for naval patrol missions. Should
significantly reduce the op losses of naval patrol missions.
• Made automatic rail repair a higher priority during the logistics phase, making it more likely that
automatic rail repair units will be able to secure the needed supplies/freight to do their work.
 • Improved system for airfield construction so it is more likely that construction will occur if there are
available construction units. There is still a supply/freight requirement so it is not guaranteed in
low supply areas.
• To be eligible to escort an air transport mission, the fighter unit must now either be within range of
the target hex, or if not, be within range of the stage base while the stage base is in range of the
target hex.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Multiplayer – If disconnected from the internet when attempting to upload a save, game could
become unstable and crash. Fixed.
• Bug 9103 - Naval Support Group always appears isolated - never gets resupplied . Fixed.
• Bug 9150 – With TB control on, you cannot clear the withdrawal data on the bottom left of the air
unit detail screen, with it off, you can clear the data. Fixed.
• AI Bugs 9152 and 9167 – German AI, especially in late 1942 and in 1943, launches many bad
hasty attacks. Fixed.
• AI bug 9170 – The pure AI (not AI assist) was corrupting the ground attack intensity air doctrine
for some Luftflottes and Air Armies. Fixed.
Data and Scenario Changes
• Stalingrad to Berlin Changes:
o Corrected Soviet AI first turn script
o XXIII German Corps does not Disband on Turn 117. It does not Disband at all.
o The correct von Stuelpnagel chosen as Commander of WMBef France. There are two in
the game.

v01.01.02 – 23rd July 2021

IMPORTANT NOTE: All save game and scenario files created with this or later versions may only be
loaded with this or a later version. Versions prior to 1.01.02 may not load these newer save game or
scenario files. Old saves and scenarios may be loaded with this and newer versions.
New Features and Rule Changes
• Added “Display Scaling Percentage” preference item. This allows players some control over
scaling their display in-game. Note that when this version is first used, the system will
automatically reset all preferences to default and attempt to set a scaling percentage that
is best given your windows display settings. Players can change the scaling percentage by
hovering over the value in the preference screen and selecting from the dropdown list. The game
will only allow the player to select scaling percentages that fit their current display. When you
change the scaling percentage, it is necessary to exit the program and restart in order for the new
setting to take effect. At this time, items that appear on the right and top bars are not scaled, but
the map and all other windows are impacted by the scaling percentage preference.
• Editor - Unit/Air group transfer TB flags will be automatically cleared when a scenario is loaded
into the Editor. These transfer flags display in-game dynamic state and should be clear at the start
 of any scenario. Loading and saving off a scenario in the editor will now clear this info.
• Added Living Manual v1.03.pdf file in the \Manuals folder. This is up to date with changes through
game version 1.01.00.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Units that detach from city forts disappear (placed in 0,0). Fixed.
• Dismissing leader via leader pic on right bar doesn't dismiss leader but does cost some APs.
Fixed.
• Minus Fuel on hand at AB after Air Freight Transport. Fixed. (system will use city fuel or convert
freight at stage base into fuel from the pool).
• In rare situations, resources/supplies/fuel/oil stored in a city could go negative. Fixed in 1.01.00
but unreported in the whatsnew.
• CTD when trying to create AD for PVO Air Command in RGOW. Fixed. (Also data change with
RGOW scenario).
• CTD from clicking on manpower on left of production screen. Fixed.
• Selecting "Mission" text on air unit detail activates disband unit window instead of fighter/bomber
switch. Fixed.
• Units in Oranienbaum and Kronstadt are not isolated when cut off. Fixed.
• Player in the middle of a game is dropped into the editor. Fixed.
• Can attach 11 units to a city fort instead of just 10. Fixed.
• Destroyed Damaged numbers in the Battle Report Detail General Info tab are incorrect. Fixed.
• AP cost and APs available are not immediately updating on Soviet build unit screen. Fixed.
• Can assign combat units and additional support units to FBD/NKPS units (should not be possible).
Fixed.
• Event open when Event window opens doesn’t immediately reduce unread count. Fixed.
• Axis Allied manpower production is using German production usage percentage instead of using
Axis Allied production usage. Fixed.
• Production screen built number for German manpower showed a negative value at the start of
some small scenarios. Fixed.
• AI - During AI turn, a human player AOG changes the higher level AOG it is assigned to. Fixed.
• AI - CTD at 38% of Soviet AI in 1943. Fixed.
• AI - Strange Ai attack with only support units and no defender listed. Fixed.
Data and Scenario Changes
• 1941 Campaign and 1941 Campaign - No Early End scenario changes:

v01.01.00 – 28th June 2021

IMPORTANT NOTE: All save game and scenario files created with this or later versions may only be
loaded with this or a later version. Versions prior to 1.01.02 may not load these newer save game or
scenario files. Old saves and scenarios may be loaded with this and newer versions.
New Features and Rule Changes
• Far into work on adding an in-game scaling preference option. Since the work is not complete, we
have not yet made the preference option visible. Once completed in a future update, the program
default will be changed to use application scaling, and players will be able to adjust the scaling
 using this preference item. As part of this, engine improvements have been made to more fully
support ClearType fonts and to improve the placement of certain unit/map elements for better
scaling, performance and clarity. Several windows have been redone/improved, as part of getting
them to scale. Improvements include: added sorting of additional columns in some windows,
information on assignments to HQs now also showing in the HQ detail Elements tab, changed
selection of multiple battle reports in the same hex to a drop down list (hover on top left corner of
battle report).
• Added a new scenario that is a modified version of the 1941 Campaign (1941 Campaign – No
Early End). The only difference between this and the 1941 campaign is that the no early end
version does not make checks for Sudden Victory or Sudden Loss. There is still the check at the
end of 1944 re the Soviet HWM needing to match the Axis HWM (or Allied control of parts of
Germany). This scenario will always contain the latest 1941 campaign changes unless otherwise
noted in the scenario update notes (the plan is to keep them totally in sync).
• Rule Errata
o HQs and attached support units in isolated city forts that are forced to retreat are
destroyed. Units will be rebuilt per the normal rules, except in this case HQs will also be
rebuilt.
o When Follow Path is set to ‘no’ for an Air Directive, each mission created by the AD will
automatically set a stage base for the mission when it launches and the aircraft will fly
directly to the stage base and then directly to the target. The stage base created is heavily
weighted toward the bombers in the mission (so not as useful if you have short range
escorts you want to fly in the missions). In this case the player selected stage base is
ignored.
o When tracing distance for freight movement from a depot to a unit, the number of MPs will
never be more than 4x the number of hexes.
o The Command Range Modifier is slightly different than as explained in the manual. When
determining the modifier, instead of subtracting 5 from the range before determining the
modifier, you subtract the following:
▪ Corps HQ – 5
▪ Army – 10
▪ Army Group/Front – 15
▪ High command - 20
o Manpower multipliers for Finland, Italy, and Slovakia are different from that listed in the
manual. They are:
▪ 1941,42,43,44,45
▪ Finland 10,3,3,3,3
▪ Italy 3,3,3,3,3
▪ Slovakia 1,1,1,1,1
• Rule Clarification for Leader Dismissal Costs:
• The cost of dismissing a leader is increased by the political rating of the leader being dismissed. If
the leader is an Axis Allied leader, the cost is double the political rating of the leader.
• The cost of dismissing a leader is reduced by the political rating of the leader of the Higher HQ for
the leader being dismissed (i.e. OKH political rating is subtracted from the cost of dismissing the
leader for Army Group North).
• The base cost before items a and b, are as follows All High Command 30, Axis Army Group 30,
Axis Army 20, Axis Corps 10, Soviet Front 15, Soviet Army 10, Soviet Corps 5.
• There is a minimum cost of 2.
• Rule change for temporarily motorized units:
o Soviet units may not be temporarily motorized in 1941.
o Corps and division sized units have a minimum AP cost of 3 to temp motorize.
o Temporarily motorized units have to pass an extra admin check when determining their
MPs (failure reduces their MPs).
o Soviet motorized units that are brigade size or smaller have a max MP of 35, and this
applies to temporarily motorized units.
• Romanian Surrender - Romanian Surrender event no longer triggered by the loss of Constanta,
Sulina, Cogealac, or Medgidia. Since this is a data change, it is only in games started with this or
 a later version of the game.
• Adjusted formula to spread out assignment of ground support over more air units where possible
instead of overusing the same units. However, it is still heavily biased towards using air units
flying shorter distances.
• Reduced the combat effectiveness of Light Mortar ground type weapons. Increased the combat
effectiveness of Mortar ground type weapons.
• Added the ability to cancel an AOGs withdrawal orders on the AOG detail window. Linked any
cancellation of withdrawal orders for an Air Command HQ to the withdrawal orders for its
associated army level AOG. A cancellation of either, will cancel both.
• Moved Assault Squad category higher on the left side of production screen.
• Changes to logistics:
o Reduced effectiveness of super depots at reducing rail congestion penalties in 1941-
1943, with less effectiveness reduction in 1943 than in 1941/42. Net effect is deliveries to
super depots earlier in the war will be lower.
o Reduced effectiveness of single rail lines when using super depots. Net effect is potential
for less shipments to super depots via single rail lines than in the past.
o Changed the algorithm that selects an NSS as a freight source to make it less likely to
pick an NSS that is already heavily utilized.
o Note: Priority 0 depots have never been more or less likely to be picked as a freight
source for a shipment just because it is priority 0. Priority 0 depots simply never receive a
freight shipment. If you want to ensure getting rid of the freight at a priority 0 depot, you
need to disband the depot.
• Significantly increased the incremental (fractional) experience gain each time a pilot returns from
a mission. This will reduce the number of missions flown needed to gain a full experience point.

morale points even if their morale is over 50 (still must be under NM). The morale gain is now 1-2
points, not 0-2.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Assigning Construction Units to HQ on a city hex sometimes costs 1 AP (should be free). Fixed.
• Units in City Forts were not able to receive ammo from a depot in their hex during defensive
combat. Fixed.
• Unit in City fort that renames appears in two places. Fixed.
• Losses reported for units not in the battle when Leningrad is captured. Fixed.

the rest of the Soviet Union. The port connections should be enough to prevent isolation.
Fixed.

the scenario, are all being set to 100% damage. They should be calculating damage based on
time since capture (there is some randomness to this, so values change each time a scenario is
started). Fixed.
• CTD when pressing F9 with summary up in ground phase. Fixed.
• Can't move units to Kherson by sea. Fixed.

• Changing mode with AD creation visible replaces 1st AD instead of selected AD. Fixed.
• Removed set individual AB supply priority via right click (since AB supply priority is automatically
set, there was no reason to have this as it had no effect).
• Editor – Removed AI Line Forming x, y and Formation role from the displays as these are not
intended to be editable values.
• Editor - Can't edit aircraft weapon set Last Date. Fixed.
• AI - Ai moves amphibious HQ into city fort. Fixed.
• AI - Amphib moves into swamp hex (from city fort hex). Fixed.
• AI – Soviet AI units warp into Axis hexes inside the Stalingrad pocket. Fixed.
• AI – Soviet AI support units in Theater boxes could be incorrectly attached to on map units (where
they could be destroyed) while still showing in the TB. Fixed.

v01.00.07 – 06th April 2021

New Features and Rule Changes
• Adjusted scroll speed. Sped up scrolling in zoomed out views, and adjusted scrolling speed with
the arrow keys.
• Undocumented rule - Axis units in heavy snow from December 1941 to March 1942 have their
defensive CV modified as follows:
Dec 1941 - /2
Jan 1942 - /1.5
Feb 1942 - /1.33
This is reflected in the CV values shown on the map. In addition, once in combat, there are admin
and land combat rating checks made. For each failed check, the defense value is modified an
additional time. So, a unit in Jan 1942 in heavy snow can have its CV divided by 1.5 up to 3 times
if it fails both checks.
Bug Fixes
