My reinforce slider said I needed about 100 MP to reinforce to max. I had 80 MP at the time. I put some IC into reinforce, a few days later noticed that I my MP was down to 0! Checked my reinforce slider and it said I still needed 80 MP to reinforce to max. I was not involved in any combat during this time. What's going on? I thought this was fixed. Im GER in mid 1941(38 campaign). I have 100 INF and 40 ARM divisions. I have lost less than 10 divisions in the entire game. How do I have 0 MP if not for reinforce bug. If anyone else has experienced this please chime in. Seems like everyone thinks the bug was fixed.

From what I was reading I'd say, the attrition bug is gone, replaced by a new manpower bug...

Yes it is, it does seem to want to suck all your manpower very quick you can have 400 MP to reinforce and get it done in a month or so probably at a much higher cost.

I find it works fine if your not fighting anybody...just reinforce when dust clears or keep reinforcements on low (1 IC usually keeps you 100% reinforced)

Not a bug. WAD.

Or at least easily circumventible.

For a division, much less an army, to remain at 100%, would in fact drain a great deal of manpower. Generally during war, even when not in combat, divisions will lose a higher % on a day to day basis than they are able to gain, except when resting safely back in "safe" areas. Key- pull front line troops back to controlled or owned provinces on occasion(meaning, the provinces you are allowed to deploy to from the force pool, basically) to reinforce, which when fighting Russia, may mean pulling all the way back to Poland, but this simulates the normal rest stand-down of a combat div. You will find it reinforces much faster. Also do not put much IC into reinforcement unless you are all the way at peace(does not mean just not fighting) and probably not during winter either( winter acts like minor combat and drains ALOT of attrition, rightly so)
Using these methods, I have never once had manpower troubles as Germany in 1.1 or 1.2.

The easiest way to circumvent it is by just not reinforcing your ground troops as long they are in occupied, frozen provinces.

What is annoying is that the cost to manpower aren't displayed at all, which still makes it a bug, if not a gameplay bug, then at least a display bug.

What's annoying is that there isn't a game option: refrain from reinforcing attritioned units. Then you wouldn't have the micromanagement headache you have now, where you give priority to all your naval and air units and then tweak up the IC to reinforcement until you see your manpower pool start to contract the Marburg virus. So simple. I sure hope they do this in 1.3. You kinda have to wonder how many AI problems have as their root cause an AI nation completely emptied of manpower after one season in attritionable territory.
