Several Moscow 42 Questions

[ComradeP]

Thanks.

I forgot about the organic AT guns. I had sort of expected those to be horsedrawn.

In WitE, 1941 Katyusha battalions (in the Western sense) have 12 Katyusha's, 3 batteries of 4 launchers each. Maybe that's their mid-late war TOE, however. I guess their low rate of fire/long reload time is abstracted by them having to setup after moving and perhaps in modified soft attack values. Unless I'm missing it, there doesn't seem to be a directly ROF-related value.

Aside from that, the only other peculiar things I noticed were that the German 86th ID is supposed to release on the 7th whilst it's actually active from turn 1 (a good thing, in my opinion) and that 2nd GCC is fixed on the same turn that 16th Army is released. I'm not entirely sure, but I'm guessing that could theoretically mean the 16th Army release overwrites the fix order (the release of the entirety of 16th Army is listed after the fix order for 2nd GCC in the Releases list), so maybe the fixing of 2nd GCC could happen 1 turn later.

There are also some "release through being spotted" units around Tula and northeast of there, which now activate 2 turns early (for the Germans) to 7 turns early (for the Soviets). The same applies to units of 16 Army, all of which are spotted by AT companies or other units that can't move out of their spotting range on turn 1 due to lack of MP's or being Fixed, which means they're spotted when the visibility increases to 2km.

The units:

-the Panzerjaeger company in 387, 104 (the elevation covers it in part, but it might be spotted by 1/26 GRR).
-the Panzerjaeger company in 392, 102 (pretty much doomed by default and even though it could normally move northeast along the road to avoid spotting the Guards, if the 28th SMG company moves up, it can't).
-the Panzerjaeger company in 356, 133.
-the Panzerjaeger company in 347, 137.
-9./III/Schuetzen GD in 438, 301.
-3.Krad Btl 3 in 439, 292 and the units in 437, 291 that are spotted by the Soviet unit in 437, 292, which could be moved south or southwest 1 hex to prevent it (not entirely sure if the Soviet unit south of the unit in 439, 292 can spot it, the elevation might prevent it).
-the units in 434, 290.
-the units in 427, 286.
-the units in 425, 284.
-1./Krad BtL 34 in 427, 282.
-the units in 429, 281.
-the units in 501, 272.
-the units in 504, 272.

The other units within 2 hex range can either be moved back or can't be spotted due to terrain. If you feel units activating early is a problem, you could consider increasing the distance between fixed units (in the south) or moving the units that can't move out of their hex on turn 1 back a bit.
