Result of final game change votes

[Peter Stauffenberg]

I have checked all votes (have 12+ in each area) so I have decided to make the following changes based on your votes. As a rule of thumb I only changed the current rule if another option had quite a lot of more votes. So if many enough voted for keep as is then that is what I chose.

1. Turn of Siberian reserves
Result: Change from turn 41 to 40 (vote 8 to 3 in favor).

SIBERIAN_RESERVE_SPAWN_TURN 40 /* October 20th 1941 */

2. Number of Russian strategic reserve units
Result: Keep as is at 8 (votes 6 for and 3 + 3 for other options)

3. Vichy France changes to Allies if no Axis units in Africa
Result: Keep as is (votes 5 for and 5 + 1 for other options)

4. Change surprise values
Result: Change reduction from 8 per turn to 9 per turn and reduce Russian surprise from 30 to 27, i. e. 3 turns with reduced efficiency regain and no change for France).
(votes 6 for and 3 + 2 for other options)

DOW_MORALE_LOSS_USSR 27
SURPRISE_REDUCTION_PER_TURN 9 /* Surprise regain per turn after DoW */

5. Severe winter chanes
Result: Change to 20% duration -1, 60% duration, 20% duration +1 (votes 6 for and 2 + 4 for other options)

/* Variation of severe winter length */
CHANGE_FOR_DURATION 60 /* 0..100. Accumulated chance that length = WINTER_DURATION. % chance = 60 */
CHANCE_FOR_DURATION_MINUS_1 80 /* 0..100. Accumulated chance that length = WINTER_DURATION - 1. % chance = 20 */
CHANCE_FOR_DURATION_MINUS_2 80 /* 0..100. Accumulated chance that length = WINTER_DURATION - 2. % chance = 0 */
CHANCE_FOR_DURATION_PLUS_1 100 /* 0..100. Accumulated chance that length = WINTER_DURATION + 1. % chance = 20 */

6. North April weather changes
Result: Change chance from 15% to 5% for fair weather in north weather in April (vote 5 for and 5 + 2 for other options)

7. Russian tech changes
Result: Change back to values before (votes 7 for and 2 + 3 for other options)
Effect it antitank weapons increased from 0 to 1 and close air support increased from 0 to 1.

I will send updates to Ronnie and Paul so they can send final files to you.

Looks good. I'm glad the Russians won't be getting more free GARs and that fair weather in April will be a very rare occurrence in the East.

the challenge is is really about killing the German's the GAR's aren't so important really (useful though).
