We are releasing the companion update to the Barbarossa DLC (Update 15) today, one day ahead of the DLC release itself. This should highlight some of the new tactical skills and ideas that you’ll be needing when playing as a Soviet commander. With that in mind, we’ll be taking an in-depth look at a smaller section of the Rzhev Offensive around the Volga crossing.

The adjustments to play style that this requires can be difficult, but we feel it’s well worth it because it gives an entirely new perspective on this period of the war. Our intention is that playing as the Soviets feels authentic with respect to history. As a result, the “Rzhev meat grinder” plays very differently from anything you’ve seen in Unity of Command II before. The mechanics and the scenario design were carefully adapted to the period. When designing this scenario for Moscow 41, we really wanted to do these momentous events justice. They are also not very well known in the west, especially given how the Red Army suffered a quarter of a million dead there in early 1942 alone. Does it carry over its state from scenario 1? Is it assumed that it has done nothing since then? There is a lot that's unclear about the campaign-wide force pool.The battles around Rzhev are easily among the toughest and bloodiest of the entire World War II. Of course, it's probably more complicated than I have suggested: a unit from scenario 1 may not appear in scenario 2, but could well appear in a different scenario later. It's hard to know without that list how many units we're talking about, but even a few units' specialists could make a huge difference in the next scenario.

Please correct me if I am wrong about any of this.ġ) Some divisions carry forward to future scenarios and others do not.Ģ) It's not currently indicated in the game which divisions carry forward and which do not.ģ) Redeploying steps from the force pool diminishes the experience of the unit that receives the step.Ĥ) But redeploying specialists from the force pool does not.Īssuming those things are correct, I think there are some conclusions:ġ) It would be very useful to have a list of which divisions carry forward and which do not.Ģ) It would be most beneficial to strip units that don't carry forward of their steps at the end of a scenario for use at the deployment phase of the next scenario.ģ) Likewise, it would be best to strip units that don't carry forward of their specialists at the end of a scenario so they can be used in the next scenario.Ĥ) During the deployment stage at the beginning of the scenario, specialists can be reallocated at will, but because it's not free (costs CP) to strip divisions of specialists, priority should be given at the end of the scenario to the divisions with no future.Ĭonclusion 1 would enable conclusions 2-4. Here's what I think I understand about managing our order of battle.
