<t> Thanks to amandkm ... gave me a real fight and fright in this one. <br/> <br/> We end up with the Germans battered into submission in Wales, at some cost to the Allies in production, research and a Few naval assets. Russia is holding as planned, around Smolensk, Leningrad, etc. only Rostov is un...

<t> I concur with pjg100. Allies can recover more easily from early errors.<br/> <br/> Incidentally, as for “gamey” strategies, well ...it is a game. If it went according to the script, there is no game. Just simulation of inevitable German defeat. It can be argued that Germany’s only path to victor...

<r> Wait until an opponent uses Jap destroyers to rescue the italian destroyer in the Indian ocean ....<br/> <br/> But, yes, there needs to be a penalty ... probably loss of Italian morale? Or US 3-5% mobilisation? As long as the italian destroyer in the Indian ocean can choose where to deploy ...<E...

<t> In case anyone is wondering, Sealion has taken on a distinctLy Welsh flavour. Hampered by the poor performance in Russia, this daring gambit has produced a maelstrom of Nazis in the UK. All of wales is now occupied by italians, romanians, slovaks and germans, with paras and special forces holed ...

<t> I learned the hard way about losing the supply line to Korea! I actually managed to win a game after that (Japan conquered but Hungarians, Finns, Turks, Romanians poured into China after I took USSR), but usually you lose.<br/> <br/> For those newer to the game, the trick for Japan is to deploy ...

<t> Hi all<br/> <br/> I often redeploy 2 tanks, 2 a/c and do a few other things to hit Belgium in turn 2. It has mixed results and is, IMO, not ahistorical at all. Sure, it is confronting when first you get “done” but there is a lot like that in the game. It reflects the kind of madness of the Nazi ...

<t> Churchill is staggered by the sudden appearance in England of 3 FSJ divisions AND some elite Nazi special forces! Home Guard mobilises and the RN is recalled to help defend these green and pleasant lands. The shock is overwhelming, all the more so because the Western Desert is full of the main B...

I just lost India and am very cross . Well-played Zuxius!

(The importance of strategic bombing to destroy supply is evident)

<t> The Nazi horde has stormed into the Motherland and all comrades are called to arms! Comrade Stalin leads the heroic defence of the workers and peasants paradise himself!<br/> <br/> It is July, and the reports flood into Stavka of the necessary measures that Marxist Leninist doctrine demands we t...

<t> O Connor makes errors in the desert and Churchill demands answers! Of course,it was Churchill who initially demanded aggressive action....the sub hunt goes on, with one downed off Scotland, and now the RN needs to find the one off Spain. Meanwhile, nothing can be done about the one in the Indian...

<t> Where to start ...<br/> <br/> I will kick off with a few ideas for Russia since, in most games, you need to win there.<br/> <br/> Start the first turn by stopping all unnecessary research and immediately research inf weapons 1. You also need to have enough MPP in turn 1 to buy an engineer unit. ...

<t> All hands to the wheel! Man the pumps!<br/> <br/> The torrent of aggression laps at the shores of England but, no doubt, the bruising long campaign in France has earned the plucky Brits a reprieve from invasion. While the BEF deploys back home , bolstering already impressive defences, Lord Gort ...

<t> I would comment that while the supply effects are tricky to anticipate (even with the S-key to give you an idea) and that it would take insanely detailed play to get it right at all times, I think WaW models supply effects really well compared to most games. I concur that organising supply is pr...

<r> Let's focus on France. It's the end of June and, broadly speaking, I am pleased with the defence so far. It's likely Paris falls next turn but, possibly, France will hang on until August since the Italians are just doing a holding operation and Lyon and Marseilles look safe for now. I have not b...

<r> Stalin receives reports of the growing fascist menace and while, for now, he hides his forward armies in the digital fog, he orders intensive preparations to be made, investing in certain technologies which might prove useful, while ordering other wasteful research to stop, due to the objective ...

<t> So the fight continues.<br/> <br/> In China, Xue commands a line of corps, holding Nanning, Kwelin, and Hengyang, with no real,pressure there.General Peng is responsible for Changsha where all the action is. The forts are gone and armies hold the city and the road to the west. New forces are bei...

<t> III Corps has been duly sacrificed to defend the women and children of Changsha... utterly destroyed and yet, now the 12th Army steps forward to seek glory in total war. Furious research efforts are underway to build weapons that might give China a fighting chance, even as its paltry airforce is...

<t> China reels at the onslaught! General Feng marshalls a defence of Yanku, and sends emissaries to Mao pleading for help. General Zhu holds Chengchow, throwing back an overeager army at the northern defences. Peng maintains a watching brief opposite Wuhan... armies there not yet engaged in their d...

<t> Outrageous fascist aggression in Poland cannot be ignored. Even Chamberlain demands action. France and Britain "come to Poland's aid" by sitting quietly in their barracks and ports, aside from the desultory advance into the Saar, followed by a hasty retreat. Poles are not surprised, given the hi...

<t> Hi everyone, thanks so much for sharing your experiences and here's some thoughts and advice<br/> <br/> This might have been covered above but, when you attempted to move the Japanese transport into the newly-taken port of Pakhoi (southern China), and could not unload, that is because the port n...
