Germany is not having a good innings by the looks of it.

 

[Spruce]

Belgium seems to have stationed a really big army in Brussels.

 

[Murmurandus]

My apologies if this has been explained before, but I have not been in these forums long and cannot find an immediate explanation.

On the screenshot top right (France 1936), I am assuming the unit shown as (7) is reflected by the column to the right, of which five of its "components" are shown. My questions are
> at what level are these componenets (division / army / not a standardised level of organisation) and
> when looking at the specific components, what do the numbers represent ("strength points" / divisions / brigades etc).

Moreover, if you look at the number 2 under the little picture of a tank, does it mean that it would be the same ("strength"?) as the same number 2 under a tank picture in a German unit, or is there another level including types of equipment etc?

Again sorry if all this has been discussed before. I am appreciative of any replies.

wonderful pic. though i am curius. is belgium stronger then france hehe

also would it be possible to somewhere make some basic list of countries naval strenght or something similar to that? i am curius on a few facts. for one i knoe the french had at least 1 carrier and a decent fleet so was wondering how that would be in. and that is also a lot more info then we had in that pic

i am curius. who decides what pics to post here? you post em but who picks em?

I love this picture lol great one here for every one to see, saves them going to the link:

though one thing the German fighter in thie that I can see, tis not a Messerschmit, cant remember if they were around then or not? were they or wernt they, im sure they were so whast an outdated Focker doing in thier lol, unless its a scouting airunite lol, I belive they used them for scouting before ME109 took over etc

Any answers lol, but at least we can see the ship line up thier etc, seeing thier finisheding consruction date, hee cant remember if has been asked, but if we wanted to build more Battleships will we be able to name then really? or are thier random names given for them, beacuse im sure people will build more then whats thier if they can.. know this question has been asked but might as well ask again beacuse I cant remember answer heeheee

Also spelling for Grossdeutschland, im sure that its supposed to be like this (Gross Deutschland) their a space in their like I have it, dont remember name fully now, but if im right then can you change that!

Also the map,its quite hilly and kind of Maunines around Frankfurt, and Mainz and half way up to the Reihn of Germany right up to Belgium its kind of hilly beacuse they grow wine thier etc you might want to do some thing thier in alteration if its not to lait not sure, but around were I use to live I know its very very hilly if not more a bit like Mauntinus around Frankfurt and Mainz areas, belive me

Hope that info helps..

Follow this link to get to the thread that discusses that screenshot.

If they don't explain it there(don't remember), then ask the question again, there

German double decker in Nurenberg, different gifs for different tech? Does this mean that Germany in this game is behind in air tech or is that just an old squadron still operating? And another question, isnt`t the first flying Bf 109 from around 1936???

TMO

 

[Josephus I]

Is that a Swiss army????? Whose side are they on?

Likely there will be a list of names that new ships are named from. Don't know what will happen if list runs out though? Bismarck II, Graf Zeppelin II?

Shouldn't it be, like, GroBdeutchland?

But is it hilly enough, that is the question..

 

[Il Moro]

I'm curious to know if truks are mech infantry or supplies lines ready to go into the front of the battle.

Probably Helvetia's.

 

[jacob-Lundgren]

well it says commision new ships/flotila so we can make new ones however names? i would hope they let us name em or supply historical ones till it ones out then we pick?
is a flotila like a destoyer flotila, cruiser flotila? and the others are ships or is a flotila a mix of the bismarck and 3 destroyers or all what? we have many questions few answers and the more you show us the more we want to know

but i am sure you guys like it this way so you know we care

The Taunus "range" near Frankfurt is hilly country and the Romans used it as a fortified salient to defend their lands west of the Rhine. But its limited to the southern part of the province and the hills are not too steep and not too high (peaks under 3000 ft and most much less than that). Its not as high as say the Vosges (which are treated as hills on the map). Most of Hessen is part of the North European Plain. So its a judgment call on how to call the whole province - the ideal would be to split it but that wont happen. For the whole thing, plains is probably more reasonable than hills.

Good lol, was think ing the worst, was thinkning that Germany is behind in Air tech could be that, but the ME109 was not around in 1936 that I know beacuse Germany wasnt allowed an active airforce, and the tech wasnt thier ME109 was around in 1939 that i know so I think my answer I jut asnwered myself lol, but yea ME109 was round in 1939, but was not around in 36, Germanywas using though in 36 those old fockers and gleiders for training, but dont need that in this game so I gues thier using the the old Fockers until 1936 area, then it will change gif picture to ME109 its a posibilitie....

 

[Vharzul]

Should still have hill gif or what ever in that area I think.. also I hope they are still working on teh mpa name changes of the provinves moving Frankfurt down and Mannheim to the left etc or up either way..

 

[unmerged(1847)]

Are we all viewing the same screenshot here??? (The people saying the date is 1936) The date clearly shows 9/1/39. Maybe Germany is behind in fighter tech, I dont see many fighter units at all. Maybe that is just a reserve unit, or one that hasn't been upgraded to the latest fighter. Maybe its a ground attack unit or recon.
