The zoom level and graphics detail looks very nice. Love the new command structure details.
... and province size defines its suitability for involvement in combat in the gameMy guess is that province size is related inversely to involvement in combat during the historical war.
From Theatre, Army Group, Army, Corps through to Division. Each level has its own commander that gives its own bonus according to his skill level. At division level you get a bonus to combat while a corps commander increases the chances of reserves joining combat
Can you give examples of each level? It sounds like the old HQ unit will now be analogous to the "Corps" level, and of course division remains the same. So, what are examples of Army, Army Group, and Theatre commands?Divisions now fit into a multilevel command structure. From Theatre, Army Group, Army, Corps through to Division.
As we mentioned in the presentation in Leipzig, we have added a command structure. Divisions now fit into a multilevel command structure. From Theatre, Army Group, Army, Corps through to Division. Each level has its own commander that gives its own bonus according to his skill level. At division level you get a bonus to combat while a corps commander increases the chances of reserves joining combat. Our goal is to leave you wanting good commanders at each level thus leaving you to think about should you promote that Major General to a Lieutenant General and give him command of a corps? At every position in the command structure, you can insert a leader of the designated rank.
Ack, I don't like the size of those provinces, they seem HUGE

I sure hope the exp. force options are expanded to encompass this!Yes, please more details about command structure
is it going to be possible to have a multinational structure? to what granularity?
Is it going to be possible to have something like an Allied Expeditionary Force "Theatre" composed of British and American Army Groups, while the British army group is composed of Canadian, British, Australian Armies? or even to have a Corp composed of British and Canadian divisions?
Also, another request.
It will be great, and add flavor to the game, if for some countries, especially dictatorships, the Theatre commander is or can be the head of government...
as an example; Hitler was Oberkommando des Heeres (Theatre commander of the East front) from December 1941 to 1945
OKH is Chief of the Army, not theatre commander.Also, another request.

Provinces outside Europe not being compatible with the combat/movement system made rotw-campaigning extremely dull in DD.
