Unit Upgrade Level
All of the units in a country’s production
pool are affected by the Unit Upgrade
Level. You can increase your country’s
level while in the Status Menu by clicking
on the UPGRADE button. Each upgrade
costs between 10-30 PPs depending on
the country. Units receive a 10% increase
in strength points per upgrade. It also
costs an additional 20% in PPs per
upgrade level to buy a unit. The maxi-
mum level of upgrade is the total of the
R&D levels in AT and Heavy Panzer.

Unit Refit
After calculating PP, just before purchas-
ing units, an automatic refit of lost
Strength Points (SP) will take place.
Every unit which is on the map will have
its SP restored to its maximum SP. This
costs 1 PP for each SP of ground units
and 2 PP for each SP of Air Units. Units
are refitted up to the limit of available
PPs. Refit cost will be multiplied by cur-
rent upgrade level. Prior to production,
this expense is automatically deducted.

Production
Each turn, except for the first turn of a
scenario, the Italian, Axis, Russian,
Allied, and U.S. countries receive
Production Points (PPs) based on the
number of friendly cities, friendly
resource centers, and convoys. The
Status Menu will display the number of
PPs for each country. Each major city
and convoy is worth 1 point while
resource centers are worth 2 points. The
amount of PPs received in a turn is also
adjusted by the Industrial Base Multiplier
as shown below. If a country has been
conquered then all resource centers and
all eligible cities automatically belong to
the conquering player. Only certain
cities, once controlled, count for PP pur-
poses. All cities in a country’s homeland
count for PP purposes. The cities in
Poland, Benelux, and France, which
become German territory once they are
conquered, will be added to the Axis pool.
Rumania joins the Axis player so its cities
will be added into the Axis pool. Once
controlled all resource centers are added.
Russia has its PPs divided by four until it
is at war or preparing for war.

Players use PPs to buy various land, air,
and naval units which are either dis-
solved or purchasable in the Production
Phase. PPs are further divided into pools
per side which are namely: Axis/Italian
and Allied/US/Russian. Axis points can be
spent for all Axis units except Italian,
which can only be purchased by Italian
points. The same holds for the Allied,
U.S., and Russian points. All PPs which
are earned by the Axis player will be
added to the Axis pool, except for spared
and naval units which are either dis-
solved or purchasable in the Production
Phase. PPs are further divided into pools

In the Purchase Menu you will get a list
of eligible units together with the cost of

will take to produce the unit. You can
only purchase a unit if you have suffi-
cient PP remaining. Unused PP count as
spared PP. Purchased units will become
available as Reserve units after the
shown delay. The color of the lettering
