Moscow '42 Files Update (as at Jan 23rd, 2013)

[Strela]

Strela, would it be possible to consider placing the 57th Pontoon Bridge Battalion on the map at the start of the December grand campaign? It would solve the "the Volga thaws immediately at the first snow turn" problem which isolates the Soviet forces across the Volga.

The forces west of Kalinin have a pontoon unit, but the units east of it don't unless you pack up the bridging unit with the bridge across the reservoir. However, it would still only arrive after about 20 turns.

You could also move the 51st Pontoon Bridge Battalion there from 30th Army, but it won't be able to get to the Volga and place a bridge in less than about 3 days.

The unit starts on the map in the Kalinin City scenario, but only arrives on the 18th of December in the grand campaign.

Yep, let me have a look. We did something to fix this in the smaller scenarios, but it makes complete sense to fix it in the campaigns.

Will post a fix real soon.
