One of the best wargames I've ever played. Period.

From June to December 41 Soviet army formed 82 cavalry divisions alone. Divisions were reduced in size , stripped of artillery and tanks but yet they formed about the equivalent of 27 cavalry corps.

<t> In my opinion, the cavalry should be weakened in defense to avoid this massive replacement trick.<br/> <br/> But more generally, the difficulty is that the Soviet fallback strategy is the correct strategy. The plan developed in the 1930s was to let the invader go to Smolensk and counter attack a...

Soviet cavalry divisions were mobile forces and generally fared better in 1941. But they had a Achill kneel : they lacked artillery and so were very weak in defense.

IMHO what's lacking is voluntary deception. Fortitude in the West, Maskirovka in the East should be represented.Ultra should be present too. Daunting task, even without considering AI. But yet...it should.

Soviet partisans in Baltic States is historically an heresy. These 3 States were annexed by USSR in 1940 and the populations were strongly anti communists. German never had much trouble during the war there. This excellent game should remove any partisans here.

<r> One of the most undervalued question in FY has been the spying activity of some of the former tzarist officers enrolled in Red Army. So Colonel Liundkvist, chief of staff of the Army defending Petrograd sent to Yudenich details of Bolshevik defense of the city.<br/> <br/> After a few hours of wo...

<r> I’m playing a quick and dirty test game as Southern Whites to fix more deeply the AI. I’ve added a few tweaks for Siberian naval AI to cancel its strange love for the Pacific Box.<br/> <br/> On land, the AI is … surprising.<br/> <br/> Red AI: this turn ( August 18), Red has captured in my back A...

<r> Provisional: this version is offered for testing purpose. I'm going to play it a bit in the next days. The more reports I will get, the quicker the improvements.<br/> <br/> 1.085: this version is yet lacking some of the features I wish to implement for the 1.09 version. The date of the 1.09 vers...

<r> Very few chances the area to become very active during the war, but Tzaritsyn should be on the Volga [;)]<br/> <br/> Great game. I'm especially impressed how the rules are both shorter than most computer wargames and focused on ALL the essential facts of WW1. Great design job. I would of course ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: devoncop<br/> <br/> Hi all,<br/> <br/> Well this game has been a real revelation.

BTW, as SVF 2.0 will now be a AJE mod technically, the future news will be given in the mod subforum of this game [:)].

Works very well indeed.

<t> Hi, I'm the wizard [:D]<br/> <br/> In fact I'm not. I would like, but I'm not so skilled. <br/> <br/> However, since I'm modding on the AGE engine since 2007, I've learnt a few things. Among these, there's one:<br/> <br/> agelint is free to use, openly available. Agelint reports an incredible nu...

<t> That's too a recurrent problem of AACW, as units are often at full strenght when the older ones were genrally badly depleted and not recompleted with new recruits. Depleted rgts were merged into brigade, that have more mand Rgts for the same number of soldiers. That's impossible to simulate in A...

<t> PickFromRegList:<br/> <br/> whatever the reply of the lead programer to the lead developper, agelint should keep a warning when used without parameter. Indeed, there's a bias in the command favoring the choice of the first region in the list; hence the parameter NobasicBias. Imo, a warning will ...
