HEARTS OF IRON DARKEST HOUR910 11to reinforcements. Reinforcingalso needs MP.Organisation: This is thedivision’s level of organisation,reflecting its internal commandstructure, intrinsic cohesiveness,and readiness to fight.There are two numbersdisplayed: the current andmaximum organisation of theunit. Morale: Each divisionhas a morale value that7represents its willingnessto persevere in the face ofadversity and it influencesthe regain rate oforganisation (highermorale will make thedivision regainorganisation faster).6Softness: Each divisionhas a “hard” and “soft”component to its strength. Thehard portion is its armour(tanks, trucks, etc.) while thesoft component is itspersonnel. The softness valueindicates the percentage of adivision’s makeup that isconsidered as a soft target.Hard Attack: This valueindicates the attack power ofthe division when engaging anenemy division that has afairly large “hard” component(i.e. a low softness value). Thehigher the attack number, themore likely it is that it will inflictsome damage to a “hard”target such as a tank division.Soft Attack: This valueindicates the general attackpower of the division whenengaging soft targets. A highnumber here indicates that itprobably do well againstdivisions that have a highsoftness component, such asinfantry divisions.Air Attack: When a division isattacked by aerial units, it mayhave the ability to fight backand inflict some damage. Theair attack value indicates howwell it is able to do this and willbe fairly good if the divisionhas an anti-air brigadeattached.Defensiveness: The division'sdefensive capabilities aredivided into two components:defensiveness and toughness.The defensiveness value isused when a division isdefending a province againstan attack initiated by anenemy. The higher the value,the better the division will beat withstanding enemy fire.Toughness: This is thesecond component of adivision’s defensive capabilityand is used when the divisionis launching an attack of itsown against another province.A high value indicates that itcan withstand more of theenemy’s return fire as it makesthis assault.Air Defence: This valueindicates how well a division isable to defend against enemytactical bombing attacks. Thisvalue is mostly an indication ofhow difficult a target is to hitand how resilient it is. It doesnot imply an ability to fightback.Suppression: This is anindication of a division’s basiccapabilities at suppressingpartisanship in a province. Thevalue is enhanced by givingthe unit orders to engage inanti-partisan activities, whichdoubles the effective suppressionvalue.Maximum Speed: The maximumspeed the unit can travelin clear, unobstructed terrain.Affected by infrastructurelevels, supply efficiency (lackof oil greatly decreasesspeed), ongoing battles/enemy bombing raids.Supply / Oil Consumption:The daily supply needed islisted here. It will fluctuatedepending on the currentstrength and task of the unit .Units in combat couldconsume a lot more supplies.The Logistics wizard leaderdecreases the currentsupply/oil consumption by10%. There are two numbersfor supply/oil consumption -current and default ( XX.XX/YY.YY). Note that this is theamount of supplies it requiresand is not necessarily theamount it is receiving.Fuel Consumption: Anydivision that uses vehicles willrequire a daily supply of fuel(oil) equal to this value,whether it is moving orengaged in combat. A stationary,non-combatant only usesa portion of this amount. Fuelconsumption is also dependentupon the current strengthof the division.Experience: Each divisiongains combat experiencewhenever it engages in battle.An experienced unit willreceive combat bonuses andtends to maintain its organisation and morale far betterthan a division filled withrecruits.99
