German manpower boost

[bovver]

Playing as UK GC ´36 N/N I saved and loaded as Germany to take a sneakpeak at the eastern front. As i turn the time on, I see how their manpower increase at ridiculous rate. They have the reinforce slider set to 0, but their increase is at least 4 per day, and some days as high as 15! They climbed from 0 manpower to about 200 in 15 days. When I hold the pointer over the manpower bar it says the increase should be about 1.70 per day. Is this a bug or an AI cheat?

Ok, we´ve all heard about the SS breeding camps, but this is just silly

When fighting, some of the casualties taken by the divisions go back to the manpowerpool.

That explains it, thanks.

The elusive "trickleback" factor. Research hospitals for better % (found at the land doctrine tab).

Yup... if they had enough Hospital Tech to raise their Trickleback Factor to 60%, then +15 Manpower per day would be about -20 battle casualties per day (if you include normal MP growth)... not that unusual in pitched battles.

Which means that all soliders that lost legs and arms would enter the pool
to fight again another day, yea right....

Actually, the 60% recovery is close to RL recovery % from the Korean war.

Yes more then half of battle injuries that arent lethal are actually not that severe. We're talking soldiers who lost a finger or took a soft tissue wound or broke a leg. Pretty much you either died straight away, shortly afterwards from wounds or werent that badly hurt and returned to action later.
