A friend wants to start getting into Wargaming but he doesn't like the idea of PBEM. He is looking for a multi player game he can play for several hours that will save the progress on the PC so he can go back in a few days and pick up with his opponent. The only games I've played here are PBEM based...

Hi Akkula, I also just finished after many months. I wanted to thank you for your hard work. I thoroughly enjoyed the scenarios. Was too much fun smashing Jap tanks with IS3's. I ended up with 28K prestige but that was because I had 48K for the last 2 scenarios and decided to spend it. I spent a ton...

Ahh thanks Akkula. Backed up a couple turns and found the crossing point. I didn't take heavy casualties at all from the crossing. The AT unit got suppressed quickly and nothing attacked my tanks as they crossed one by one. I did find the top German infantry unit could attack but I could not target ...

Hi Akkula. Finally found time to get back to your mod. I am up to Narwa. In the north opposite Narwa I cannot cross the river anywhere, not even a bridge unit can enter a river hex. It is still frozen. I can cross any other river as normal. is this intended? I have 1/3 of my army sitting helpless ri...

In beginning of gc 45 i have around 6k prestige and full force of 13 str king tigers, panthers, elefants, jagdtigers, strong luftwaffe etc. I think i get DVs rather easily but finally I am running out of prestige around Breslau scenario. Would it be better to start again with more cheaper core? My ...

Last time I did this on FM I ran south with 2 Maus, 1KT, 1JT and 1 Ferdi, 2 gren and 2 SP arty; all 5*. Moved 4 air south, including my 5* HE-177, once I took the south airfield. As Pro said I killed all the generals before the AI really attacked in the south. You can expect full 5 star everything h...

My last FM playthrough the key for me was being able to screen my forces with 5* Tigers and a couple 4* Ferdis. 5* Panthers did ok also in 44 but in 45 the IS2 and ISU-122 love to go after even full 15 strength Panthers. 4* infantry backed by a 17 or 21cm arty always on hills or rough. I found the R...

****Spoilers below******* What I did was to buy aux units at every city near the front line then buy some more. Mostly AT but a few riflemen also. I probably burned 5000 prestige to delay the Germans long enough for my units to arrive at the front. Also my forts held out fairly long. May have just b...

Hi Jinxed, Phil's idea of using them in the Baltic sounds so much better. . Hope this idea helps. What I would do differently in the North Atlantic is to repair the ships in France then open a quick route through the destroyers to allow an invasion of Iceland (or is it Greenland. can't remember). Ta...

Hi Uzbek, Yes I made that mistake also. You must put Siberian units in all hexes marked A. Not necessarily ski units but any Siberian reinforcement will work. By the way the city hexes DO NOT count (that was my mistake I thought the city would also count). Only the hexes outside the city actually ma...

I eventually did manage a DV. Only because the AI moved tanks into forest, hills and towns allowing my infantry to wipe them out. And finally got some good attacks in from artillery and ground attack. I would get suppressed tanks to retreat into forest or hills and again use infantry to wipe them ou...

Hi Jinxed, I finished this mod once on Field Marshall. I also played the preliminary scenarios and came in with a bit of prestige. One thing that really helped me early was taking Malta(taking Malta significantly reduces the RAF in the desert). Gave 1500 prestige that I used to upgrade pz1 and 2 in ...

Shoot I never noticed the biplanes were switchable. They "may" be able to get into battle in 3 turns. Can't use them down south against the Nashorns due to the 2 88 flak there. Need a rain turn to move them in. I guess if I can hold what I have I'll get a MV which is better than what happe...

Hi Akkula, Playing Mius right now. Not sure if you meant this but the bomber part of that woman bomber squadron has a move of 2 and will never enter battle. Oh and I really hate this scenario. :lol: Nashorns one shotting units was quite the wake up call. At least they were aux units. The SS Nashorn ...

Mind you my last play through was on Field Marshal but I had a ton of prestige in early '43; over 45k. By the end of the last battle in '45 I had 200. The prestige soft cap rules really start to reduce your awards in mid '42. After that you are basically living off your built up reserve. I was losin...

Hi Niki, What I ended up doing for the airforce problem was buy 2 85mm AA guns. They also doubled as effective AT when I needed them. I would hold my air back until the flak had a chance to weaken the German fighters. Doing this in combination with some aux AA I never lost a core air unit. Some were...

Ok turn 6 was a surprise. But I was so close to taking Sinyavino.

Bought the game soon after release. Played through vanilla 3 times on different difficulties finally unlocked Manstein. Played all Grand Campaign DLC, AK and AC at least twice and now playing Akula's, McGuba's and Niki's mods. Not on Steam so don't know exactly but probably approaching 1000 hours.

Uh oh not my KV-13 and AT units. How much were they changed? :oops: You really didn't have to toughen Mars on my account. :) I beat it on turn 19. I was beat up and out of units. Had no chance to push any further on the last turn. I can't wait to see how Nikki can do. On Operation Polar Storm still....

Ah but the KV-13 still has a move of 6. I'll have 5 if I convert my T-34s to go along with 4 KV-1C/E. I'll definitely buy some assault guns when they become available.
