"Beta" Massive WW2 scenario

[warmwaffles]

Hey the are in their but the problem is the ships or the flak have no Anti Air attack what is up with that then what is the use for flak...I never really quite understood how Anti Air worked

 

[Rocoteh]

The Royal Navy. Destroyers.

September 1939 The Royal Navy had 179 Destroyers.
During the war 85 (47%) of these were lost.

Cause of losses:

Aircraft 35 41%
Mines 19 22%
Submarines 12 14%
Gunfire from BC, CA, CL and DD 6 7%
Explosion, Collision and Ran aground 5 6%
Gunfire and Torpedos from DD 3 4%
E-Boats 3 4%
Shore Batteries 2 2%

I am lagging with the rest of the British forces, had monitor problems the other day so had to get a replacement. Its all good and hopefully in the next few days the British will be finished up.

 

[Rocoteh]

Meateater,

That sounds good.

I have downloaded version 4.4 and it
looks very good.

[warmwaffles]

Meateater,

Could you put the Anti Air in?

BTW this is a great scenario

 

[Rocoteh]

Meateater,

Any thoughts on next nation to research?
Maybe we should start with the most problematic:
Soviet?

The Soviets sound fine with me. I hoped to get the British done last weekend but just never got around to it.

The flack units have been added, this is still a beta version of the scenario so everything is not done yet. But thanks for your posts and comments.

 

[Rocoteh]

Meateater,

OK, Soviet next then.
As mentioned earlier, this will take time since most
sources relate to 22 June 1941.

I will see what I can find on the Soviet forces. I found a good site for the rest of the British infantry and armor, just have to look through it a little more. Can also get all of the Common wealth from it too, for when it time for it.

 

[Rocoteh]

Meateater,

With regard to the British forces, stats mentioned
in Post 415 should be correct. Maybe 2 or 3 colonial
brigades are missing.

On the Soviet forces: As I said earlier : June 22 1941
I have an 100% accurate OOB. Division numbers,
where they were located, everything.
September 1939 will be harder,but I am sure we can
solve that problem.

Thanks Rocoteh here is the site I am useing http://home.adelphia.net/~dryan67/orders/ukhome.html
it was down and not working at the time of this post but is a verry good site for the infantry and armor units of the British and Common Wealth.

 

[Rocoteh]

Meateater,

I agree, it seems to be a very good site.

I work with Internet sources but also use my
library much, since in my opinion its really hard
to find and time-consuming to find the good
Internet-sources.

I uploaded 4.5 with most of the British forces added, will do another check to see if anything is missing. Let me know what you think. Most of the Royal Army outside of the home land forces were not in divisions but smaller forces. So hopefully I got all of them added.

 

[Rocoteh]

Meateater,

I have just downloaded 4.5. Will be back with comments.

Its incredible BTW how small the British Army was
compared to during WWI.

Then WWI is the only time in history Britain have had
a true mass-army and it ended in enormous losses.

The small size of the British Army during WWII is
no doubt the result of political decisions with the
lessons of WWI in mind.

I don't know too much about the WWI armed forces and how big they were. When you look at the big picture in WW2 and see the French and the British as one country, since they were allied with the Polish before the outbreak of the war. They have a strong force with the British navy and the French army. So I guess putting so much into the the Navy left the British not much for the Army, and the French put so much into the M-line.

 

[Rocoteh]

Meateater,

During WWI (1918)5 milion men from Great Britain (not counting
Commonwealth) out of a male population total 22 million
were in The British Army.Thus it had the same size as
French Army. It was in fact the only time in history Britain
had have a true mass-army.
The French Army mutinied 1917 due to the senseless
bloodbaths.
The British Army did not mutinied, but it was close.

Its clear that limited size of British Army of WWII(compared to WWI)
that Stalin complained about, had political reasons.

Meateater,

Version 4.5 looks very good.

Well, Soviet forces September 1939 next
to research.

Best Regards

Rocoteh

 

[warmwaffles]

Meateater when is the next version possibly coming out?

 

[Meateater]

Rocoteh that is a massive army for the British in WWI and then comparing it to the WWII army. Sounds good we will start on the Soviet forces next.

Drivebymaster I could not tell you that at this time. How we have been updating it is one counties military at a time, so I would say you will see something from the Soviet army by the end of the weekend.

 

[Rocoteh]

Meateater,

I have found one source counting 9 Soviet Tank divisions
September 1939.

Considering it was 60 Tank divisions June 22 1941
it seems to low.

I continue to search for good sources.

Best Regards
