I also had a CTD in 1942. In early 1942 to be a bit more precise. So far i was not able to reproduce it.
I was playing on my 12 y/o Dell laptop, as my main unit was being serviced. The game was slow as hell, but I specifically avoided the multiple unit Artillery bombardment selection situation I reported before - But - I had just ordered Art. Bombardemnt, one-stack-at-a-time. IDK if that had anything to do with it. It was on a different computer from the one that had been crashing on me earlier. It took 3 hours to do 1 month. That sukd.
 
For the development of 1.11 the assumption was that less outdated systems are used. In 1943 AoD itself uses around 600 MB RAM. Less than 2 GB seems painfully too lttle. Even if RAM was not too little a current CPU will be about 10 times as fast.

I have my main unit back. 4 yr old i5 3320M 2 x 2.60 Hz (DXDIAG says quad core), 8 GB RAM, separate NVIDIA NVS 5400M video card in the Motherboard (1 GB dedicated, 4 GB shared memory), Intel built-in graphics 1796 shared, and now with a 500GB SSD.

Neither the grafic card nor the amount of cores will matter. The i5 3320M has 2 Cores, 4 Threads and 3 MB L3 cache. First available in September 2012 is a bit weak, but should suffice.

When switching from a Phenom II X4 940 with 6 MB L3 cache to a Ryzen 5 2400G with only 4 MB L3 cache the speed of AoD at Barbarossa increased by factor 3 to 4. It is very much the speed of the cache that matters, the size seems to be not so important as long as it suffices.
