Hmm patch will probably go live next week. Torn between starting new game or going back to Stellaris for a bit.
Insert witty comment here.

Can any recommend a site that can help with OoB's/division structure for the major powers?

I want to mess around with the Division Designer this weekend and my knowledge of OoB's is weak, at best.

Thanks

Also you can watch this guy on you tube, very informative about historical divisional layouts.

I'll never be able to look at an OoB the same again

They are excellent. I found this waaaay back in the early 2000's. I think *every* NATO symbol is clickable.
Thanks everyone, glad to help.

Any thoughts on the new beta ?   Paradox forums mention it contains bugs, but that is the paradox forum ...

It probably does have bugs, but it's fixed the worst in my opinion. My naval bombers and CAS now hit naval transports and the hideous military access bug is gone.
The Paradox Forums for HOI are generally not a place of rational, reasoned communication.

Those forums are damn near as toxic as the Steam forums.....ok, maybe not that bad

Well, the Chinese managed to actually drive me out of China in my first Japan game on the new patch. 

The aggressive execute plan on the battle planner helps, but it's still a lot less intelligent and more passive than the player.  But it's a major improvement over what was there before, absolute step in the right direction. 

On defense, the AI has, at least in China, held a front better, and it actually was very very savvy on realizing when I, as Japan, had reached supply overload.  It counterattacked right at the worst moment, and yeah, I had to actually withdraw from Northern China lest I lose my army.   Never had to do that in any past HoI game, so kudos on that. 

Also, far less strategic redeployment by the AI along fronts.  This was a huge problem. 

So far no bugs except for one startup crash.  Beta seems stable and very playable.  It's not perfect, but an improvement.  Looking forward to more steps in the right direction.

I find it extremely difficult to manage multi level (land, air, sea) wars on multiple fronts. It is very easy to get overwhelmed.
