Hi guys Im very new to this awesome mod, though had a couple of basic questions that I couldnt find answers for

For the PE with Luftwaffe doctrine, is there a way to cloak your kettenrad?

In the 'Advantages' tab, where there is the option to spend PP on getting more manpower/munitions/fuel. Is this just for the next battle, or is it a permanent affect? and does it just increase the max you can spend on each army before a battle, or does it increase how many additional points you get after a battle?

If I retreat half of my army in the last battle, does that mean I get only half the amount of manpower/fuel etc points to resupply my army back up to strength? Or do you constantly get given (approx numbers) 1,000 manpower, 1,000 munitions & 1,000 fuel to spend after each battle regardless of how many men were retreated? So that if after 5 battles I constantly retreated half of my force I could accumulate as much as 5,000 manpower, 5,000 munitions 5,000 fuel to spend etc?

Any help would be great, thanks

First of hello and welcome dude. Have fun.

(1) Cloak etc for Kettenrad is a doctrine ability. The doctrines are not in yet so at the moment so there is no way to cloak it. But It will be in some time in the future.

(2) When you have enough PP (You get 3 per game win or loss) to buy the advantages they will be permanent.

They add the stated amount to your supply pool.

(3) Units that are successfully retreated of the field survive and retain any veterancy that they achieve. The death of a unit in game gives you  refund in their cost when you return to the launcher.

Your supply pool only changes when you get advantages. You should spend as much of your supplies as possible. There are a number of guides that people have written to help you noobs, these will be very advantageous to you.

A lot of good guides are in here:

Remember you will loose your first couple of games, it happens to everyone. Ask for hints and tips for team mates and opponents when they are not ass holes.

Even if you don't have a mic join the Ventrilo server its really useful:

Good luck man and have fun.

Welcome to EIR:R, Rummy. You ask very good questions and as always our community respects newcomers. Feel free to ask any further questions on these forums or in the launcher, we will answer them.

Yo crummy!

You will always have 8000/2000/1300 in your company. Advantages increases this maximum of resources. Even if your entire army dies, you get refunded EVERYTHING. If 1000 manpower worth of infantry died, you will get back that 1000 manpower. If 4000 MP died, you get back 4000, to reach that max of 8000.

Basically, spend everything you can every time. Those are always given free. Except PPs. Those you need to earn.

Thanks for all the very helpful answers and warm welcome guys, that makes a whole lot more sense to me now. And also a special thanks to sgMisten for taking all that time out last night to teach me about the game and sorry for making you cop a loss after I didnt click on the 'finalise' button when resupplying my army after getting mauled the previous battle (maybe it could be highlighted out in the tutorial for noobs like me ) and for also being so patient with me getting Ventrillo going.

Cant wait to start gaming with the rest of you in this very awesome mod.
