if anyone is still wondering, the solution might be to set TEXTURES option at least maximum minus 1 (1 to the left of max).

I had this issue just now ^_^

you can try to edit the savegame, move the extra airbase to where you want it.
use "tdbg" command in game to get the province ID

you must have done it wrong
I've previously added cores to all provinces in the world, and it was completely playable.

I've seen BICE using around 2.3Gb of RAM, and depending on the OS, I guess the OS may be using between 0.4 and 1.6, so it might be easy for you to have CTDs or at least significant slowdowns...

you can't really rush tech, just be on time with it
if you try to rush you're just wasting a lot of leadership time

well, obviously you shouldnt bomb AA emplacements, but there should be a number of undefended targets with a bit of IC or resources, both should damage unity.

you can conquer most of Europe if you want more resources (and manpower) with which you can have more IC. It has always worked for me to build tons of IC early game.

Lend-Lease, you must neutralize it at all costs.

you could try simply not to invade. Instead, annex Iberia and move on to Morocco, with Italian support occupy all of North Africa but make sure you are the one controlling Egypt. Move on to the Middle East and turn British puppets into your own. Take Turkey as well if you wish. Make sure you control Persia, in order to deny British Lend-Lease.
When invading Russia later on, don't call Finland in until their border is free of soviets. It is imperative that you land on the Soviet main port in the north, where all the allied Lend-Lease is shiped to. Do not fight in the swamps. Ideally Japan shouldn't have a non-aggression pact with USSR any longer. Also, I don't think you can win with 5 armies, you'll need at least 10.
Make sure you win the siege of Moskva, but don't be kamikaze. Use strategic bombing do disrupt IC and unity as a bonus. Bomb infra in important locations, and build where needed to keep supply lines running.
Make sure D-Day is a failure.

The above is based on version 6 though.

The following wall of text is basically how I minimized the need of micromanagement by a great deal.

I tend to have armies specialized by unit type. All Infantry Armies, or all motorized and/or semi, or all armoured. Then I may have an army with left over but organized divisions in it. I also create Spec Ops armies (or corps) attached directly to a regional or global HQ (examples are marines, paratroopers, sky inf...). I also have a global "Garrison" theathre HQ for all the garrisons. Name the armies properly, so they're easy to identify.

This way, I rarely need to modify armies. Just leave an Infantry army as "garrison" in an area (fx Balcans might have 1 inf army + 1 mountain SpecOps small army; France might have 2-3 inf armies + 1-2 mot/semi-mot armies. Also, you can easily send armies from wherever they are to a new front, when preparing an offensive, or regroup a spread around army when performing a general retreat or after an annexation.

I may create regional theathre HQs for local garrison/specops armies/units in places like Scandinavia, the Balkans, all of Africa, Middle East, etc... Then the main capital HQ/s is/are able to serve almost all of Europe.

Ah, I always make a custom start, split important units (colored names = upgadable/special units) from normal units and get rid of the later. Then create my own units. Much faster to organize. You can also reallocate all your arfields on custom start. I use airfields of sizes 4,8, and 10 for those to be "resource" upgradeable. My air wings have 4 units in them.

only saw it now, but as you see, the Microsoft AV was being stupid, and I had assumed that was the case, so I really don't understand your reaction. But I can pleasantly say, based on a translator, that your reaction is above stupid.
Seems my assumption was wrong by a humongous margin.

compare the download file size of this version with the other one.
simple conclusion

and if it wasn't, you'd find it in the description, no?

as I see it in BIce you are the one in command and thus can control the size of units to fit your need. For example, if you don't wanna micromanage as much you can just make less but larger divisions.

BTW, I noticed that the weight doesn't change with size??

only 1, from a game using wrong cache, shouldn't be the issue though...
I'll just try again sometime with auto-s enabled and report if it happens again

either you didn't download the correct file, or the download didn't complete, or you need to rename it and add an ".exe" im the end. If praying and enabling 'show file extention' thingy doesn't help, then proceed with caution and download it again.
