Hi there
Can you tell me what is the difference between 3.8 and 3.8b?
Thanks

Only two things really.

In the briefing it is now more clear what part of Daniel McBride's "Drang Nach Osten"-map we had used, and while we were at it, I fixed the error in the Typhoon event so it now disappears again if not selected in time.
If you are already playing the version 3.8 there is no need to start over, the Axis player just need to know he can only select the Typhoon TO in turn 43, even though it will still be visible if he doesn't.

A careful estimate on when we get out the next major update with changes and fixes is around July.

Thanks. I am playing two games at the moment one as German and one as Russian. Much fun. Can you tell me how many men there are in each Squad? I would like to work out my casualties versus the historical rates. Also why are the replacement rates for the PZIVD so low? And Why no PZIVE's? Not complaining just curious.
Cheers

It's Søren Gaun who did the design of the units. I'm not sure how many men he figured was in each squad. I'm guessing 10-12.

The Pz-IV's with short gun (B to F1) have all been pooled together. The E-version ended production in April 1941 and all in all the production of B, C, D and E ammounted to 628. In April 1941 production then changed to the F1 and 462 was produced until March 1942.

In the game you start with 538 PzIVD's and produce 2x105=210 in the course of the game, giving a grand total of 648 short barreled PzIV's. That means that 442 are not on the East Front but instead either destroyed in earlier campaigns or positioned elsewhere (North Africa).

Reason that we don't use the PzIVE in the game is simply that it's stats are identically to that of the PzIVD and using just a single equipment types is much simpler.

A similar sub is used later, when the PzIVH includes production of all long barreled types from F2-J.
