I have a question
Do encircled units now shatter and are replaced in the capital, or are they destroyed as in HOI2?
Does frontage slow down combat, how does the push back factor work?
Does it cost manpower and supplies to rebuld a shattered Division to full strength?
- Units that are out of supply and shatter are destroyed completely.Originally Posted by Deemsum
- (AFAIK) yes about frontage, but not sure abotu push back.
- Yes, you rebuild them by reinforcing like normal.
Yes you can. Didn't test it yet though.
I will see what I can include in the next few chapters as I want to change the laws anyways but don't expect too much interesting information from them.
And you will get your Argentina pic. On August 3rd, that's a promiss
Just played on until the second week of July and made some very interesting screenies for the upcomming chapters. One more tomorrow.
edit: btw, altough there are only three 'tracks' with the beta the music is simply awesome!

Yay! The day before launch I'll get my pic!
Wohoo!

Great, I assume you can do the same thing with the naval units right?
PS:
Well the demo will have already come in this date so I think that he will see Argentina before the 3rd of AugustYes you can. Didn't test it yet though.And you will get your Argentina pic. On August 3rd, that's a promiss
Come to think about it, can you do perform some naval patrols on the Baltic/Black Sea, so with some luck we can actually see fleets in combat?
Soviet Baltic and Black Sea Fleets are decently numerous to do that (if not with surface vessels, then with subs) - it shouldn't affect your strategy whatsoever, while might be interesting just to check the naval combat system.
There's no naval AI and thus no naval combat in the Beta.
Guess the Argentina pic will be there just before the Demo
Its a promise
You mean that the demo will come out on the 4th of August? Or am I reading TOO much into your words?
Cheers,
NIck
I don't think that Singleton Mosby has any new official information about demo. If demo hasn't comed by 4th August, he is now obligated to post a picture about Argentina.
I have a few questions about recon. 1. When engaged in land combat do you see what details are available about the provinces reserves? 2. When you bomb an enemy province's ground units what information is available about those ground units? 3. Same question but when you just fly over without bombing. 4. When you fly over a province do you see ground units in adjacent provinces?
Personally I don't want recon to be too easy; if just flying over a province shows you every land unit there how could you ever conceal your schwerpunkt, in other words it is impossible to repeat Germany's success in France with a diversionary advance in the north.
@ Sangeli
1. It will show you that provinces reserves. But not the ones behind the frontline with reserves as thier mission.
2. The same as Land Combat i am guessing.
3. Rough number of divisons/air units in the province. Nothing Further.
4. I don't know.
Yes a diversion attack is possible you just have to hold air superiority over your main forces so your opponent or the AI doesn't know they are there.
yepI don't think that Singleton Mosby has any new official information about demo. If demo hasn't comed by 4th August, he is now obligated to post a picture about Argentina.
Chapter four: Leningrad and Murmansk
For some reason several of my divisions were still inside Finish borders. Not that I mend as I will then have a bit more depth for my defence and a good advance warning system. Good, the Leningrad front is a strong front, several strong armies in a good defensive position and fortifications on the main approaches to Peter’s old capital.
Further down the line, to the north, however, my defences aren’t as strong.
Only a single weak corps protects the Murmansk line, which will be vital due to the Lend-Lease pact with the Allies.
At Murmansk itself a sizable force is stationed, which will be shortly reinforced by the two NKVD divisions I found in Archangelsk. The Finish are still neutral and only eyeing us from their trenches just across the border but the German forces in Finland attack straight away. The first move to the Murmansk rail line is thwarted quickly but if they build up some more forces for a second attempt I won’t come away as easy. I will need more troops here.
From Leningrad the Baltic fleet is sent out to patrol the Gulf of Finland. Even though it is of no use in the beta as there is no Naval AI yet.
From Moscow two armies and the Stavka reserves move west (strategic movenemt) to take up positions in the Dnjepr area. They will be my new reserves for the Stalin line, which isn’t finished yet. Although several divisions are send on to fill threatened gaps straight away. The worst of these is the gap in the front west of Odessa, Rumanian troops are pouring through.
At this moment idle divisions are called in from the Far East as well. Once they arrive they can create positions around Kiev and Minsk, moving the other reserves to the front. I will also need a reserve east of Riga as I will be in terrible peril if the Dvina river line breaks. But that’s all for the future.
Hmm, how does the Lend-Lease Act work now?
Yes i to wish to know how the lend lease act works.
Otherwise still great stuff.
Interesting to see some more action shots. Dev Diaries only tell you so much.

No Naval AI? and its just a month from release? Daamn... Even if its a demo from May...

Finnish post-Winter War border and the region in general looks quite good, and the province of Hanko can be easily fixed as well, quite likely it has allready changed since this is an early beta. Changing province names are also a cool new feature (Koivisto-Primorsk).
I´m also curious to find out how long your longest battle has lasted so far?
A Global History of a Tripolar Cold War:The Prisoners of Silence - NSDAP 1936-1991 - History and background
From Hanko to Petsamo - Finland in World War II HoI3 AAR
A New Weltkrieg Kaiserreich MP AAR - completed
LOL, Hanko is HUEG
Also, wtf is Kimito? And iirc, Inkoo is just some small swedish county/town, I have no idea why it's on the hoi 3 map :|
And why is Turku and it's archipelago written in swedish? Last time I checked HOI 3 was done in english (unless there are language packs)
Edit: Seriously, get maps with english text, I almost find it insulting that every county name in Finland is written in swedish :P
