RE: Well, guess this will be a AAR then
Now
while all this was going on, we got Italy, they couldn't DOW on the Allies, so, decided they may as well go after Greece, while the English and French are busy !
so spent along time marching to the border (man those guys can not march worth a dang !!!)
DOW on the Greek, and the Greek join the Allies, so Italy is now at war with everybody, as are the Germans and there allies, only thing though, is Italy is not a Ally (the Troops I had left in Yugo, in case of trouble down there, can't march south, they can't cross the boarder that is now Italy ?
then, massive Naval battles in the Med, all of Italy's supply ships are sunk, all the troops in NA and Albaina are out of supply, lucky the Greeks do not have the firepower to really push the issue
Massive Naval battles again and again, and each week, all the new supply ships are sent to the bottom of the Med
but, the English and French are takeing a pounding, soon 4 CVs are sunk, and most of the French BBs join them, I finally get some supply to my troops and just in time, it looks like the French who were about to overrun my troops are now out of supply themselfs, and are quickly mopped up
and the English are slowly being pushed back on the other side of NA
the attack into France is slow, but steady, the French troops are not as good in the south as in the north, and they gain a breakthough of there own
really, really hurts not being able to join the Axis, and looks like the event that starts the war for Italy is not triggered, they don't join

ORIGINAL: Slick Wilhelm
What do the "losses dealt" and "losses taken" numbers represent? The number of unit strength points? And what about the percentages?Are your losses that were dealt by the Poles very high, relatively speaking?
Sorry Slick, I don't see if somebody posts while I got the post open
Losses dealt, are what you have done to them, and taken is what they have done to you
% is how much of the losses are done to/by that nation
(which once defeated, those do not show up any more, I would like to see them stay)
the losses to Poland are not really that heavy, but heavy enough, the way I read that, say a Inf Div is 3.00 points of troops, a Air Army is 8.00 points (or so) so, while I didn't really lose anything, I was bled 20 + points that I will need to regain
(most of my battles vs France/England in 1940, have been around 100/150 losses for a much longer, and Larger battle)

Heh, "Maggot" line...[:D]

Nice work, Sarge(as always). Thanks for the explanation of the losses.

RE: Well, guess this will be a AAR then
thinking about all the losses in the Med, I did some sea searches and didn't pick up any English ships, so started spending some PP on Sealion
landed 3 Armor Divs, shorebombardment along with some airpower made the landings easy, then shipped in some Inf
of course, forgot to set up a convoy for supplies !!!!
then the English decided to mess with the landing, that CV got away, but it was leaking pretty good by the time it got back to port (or where ever it snunk off to)

Greece falls into that best laid plans and all
do all the fighting to clear out that city hex, then the Bulgerains come in, and drive the Greeks back into the city, so I clear it again, then the Bulgerains slip right in, and steal the city !!!
things were looking good, until the English showed up !

The Royal Navy didn't intercept your amphibious assault on Cornwall? You think their entire navy was in the Med?

Sealion, what a difference a little supply can do !
those two Armor Korps are going to be HARD to defend against

RE: Well, guess this will be a AAR then
of course, what you don't see, is the numbers the English have there, going to either take it slow and kill everything a step at a time, or get alot more troops into the area
of course (part II) the Air part of BoB is still going on
here is part of it

not a good week for FC, or for the home Army either
two air Armies and a air Div are going to be HARD to replace, with the ground war heating up

ahh, to be honest, I think the Royal Navy is at the bottom of the Med
(wish list, something to add, or what not, but the AI has to put it's ships into groups, these small groups are getting slaughtered)

RE: Well, guess this will be a AAR then
well
London fell, pushing up towards Manchester, got my Para's sitting in the south for a drop soon up north
England had some nice troops, but my Armor is too much for them
BUT
Hassle is my computer died last night, game is on one of my backup drives, so game and files are good, but need a computer to put the backup into
so, would say this AAR is going to be on hold for a bit

RE: Well, guess this will be a AAR then
Hard Sarge, your comment about the naval groups is most likely spot on. Every PC WWII game that I have played in the last 20 years that is on a more strategic level with a naval component seems to have the same problem. All you need to do as the Axis is build a large naval stack, the Allied fleets show up in the small groups that you mention, and you defeat them time after time. Perhaps a ship stacking limit could be set up so you can't use this exploit.
RE: Well, guess this will be a AAR then
Got that right for the few I've played. Making History, for example, was a decent game but for the naval AI. It simply would not put together fleets that could defend themselves.ORIGINAL: stormbringer3

RE: Well, guess this will be a AAR then
Perhaps the game developers have an idea on how to improve this area of the game!
I am not game developer, so maybe this naval issue is very hard to correct, but it seems suprising that so many different games all have the same problem with large Axis naval stacks being able to win battle after battle because of fragmented allied attacks.
