About Russian Winter

[alaric318]

greetings, i want to ask if it is possible to modify the coming of the efficiency reduction in winter or it is hard coded, in the main game it is working very well but for my mod maybe i want it coming at november 41, later years are less important, but first year maybe will determine if russian army survives or not, anyway i think is not a good decision to delay operation barbarossa later than june 22 if you want to finish war as axis in 41 or early 42, time and weather are the worst enemies of germany, any and all advice will be appreciated, thanks in advance,

with best regards,

I think it is all hard coded at th emoment. It could be added to the scripts but woudl be some work.

thanks for the advice and the fast reply, it is not a big issue, i think that united kingdom and united states can launch an attack on 1942, pleased about it, and it can free pressure over the russians, overall game balance is very good, so, if russian winter effects are increased this will make a big difference for germany to be able to redeploy troops to stand off the allies in france or whatever theater they choose to launch his attack,

There are 2 paramters in general script

AXIS_WINTER_SUFFER 55
ALLIES_WINTER_SUFFER 35


counting from 1939, each winter has 10 less effect simulating better equipment ande prepareness in later years.

So in 1941 Axis units will suffer 55-10-10=35 effectiveness drop
and Allies or USSR will suffer 35-10-10=15

Movement penalties are same each winter with +1 MP per hex and +1 Vehicle MP per hex.

greetings, thanks for the advice about it, then it is easy to mod these parameters and increase or decrease winter effects, an cautious russian player can wait until winter comes, the manual speak of it, winter takes place between october and february some randomness is good, german can have a hard time with the winter,
