When the Axis goes all in on Russia you must invade France in 1943. You've been handicapping yourself.

You are doing well. Just perhaps possible to salvage the game for the Allies if you invade France early in 1943. Personally though, I am completely unstoppable as the Axis, 100% win rate. And I don't consider that a brag. I think Axis supply rates are too high in Russia. Partisans have no effect, an...

Honestly for WarPlan 2 Canada should just be part of the UK forces (much like Australia, etc).

I can't remember ever hearing of any incidents where the various Commonwealth forces had any problems cooperating.

Nice post. May I suggest something? AI empires need to play more differently, according to their race or settings. Also, perhaps as DLC, but the game could really use Scenarios. Imagine starting at war, you have 3 planets are are losing. But nearby is a large neutral empire. Or playing as pirates. O...

I am in the same situation. Apologies to my opponents. Real life is back with a vengeance.

Thank you Alvaro.

I forgot to mention the Soviet Winter scenario is very fun to play. Win or lose, it's always close enough for a lot of suspense.

Just a further note, the UK should always, always max their Convoy Escort tech.

I have quite a few games of the "Soviet Winter" scenario completed, and my statistics are: Axis: no losses Allies: 1, most likely 2, losses So for me at least the game is still slightly in favor of the Axis. But, in another game (modded scenario), I am encountering a major problem as the S...

Let's not mess with WarPlan.

Ideas and suggestions for WarPlan2 are good.

My question is: Has anyone actually seen the strategy of waiting til 1942 work? I'm really curious if so.

Remember, the Axis only have to survive and win by victory points. A defensive strategy can be very powerful for the Axis.
Of course most players just keep attacking for far too long.

You cannot think of ships as being in a single hex for an entire turn (two weeks). Abstractions and all that

Useless in Europe

Have to use the Royal Navy and invade at a weak point. Walking to Tobruk doesn't work.

Honestly for WarPlan 2 maybe France needs to be a bit different. Their infantry can be 50% (because their soldiers/equipment/doctrine was not bad), but their leadership was atrocious and downright treasonous sometimes, so they could have leadership penalties like reduced movement and a massive chanc...

That weather is just wrong. Even May and September. The weather in the Arctic is just nothing like the weather further south. Even in "mid summer" the weather is never as good as continental Europe.

This is Tromsø yesterday (not an extreme example):

Not building another air superiority group as Germany is a massive mistake.

All the tanks in the world won't help if you don't have air superiority.

Blitzkreig was about panzers and stukas.

Been away to long.

Mirror games?

Didn't mean for this to turn into a whole discussion. I just go something different (silly) every game. The UK units will be withdrawn when depleted and sent to Egypt/England. Having them behind the French would be a bad idea as no time to evacuate. It does make France slower (not harder) to take, b...
