Yes, the Soviets surrendered around turn 70.
In the final stages of the game (after the fall of Moscow and Leningrad), it wasn’t too difficult.
I’d expected more resistance.
Are you playing on General difficulty?

Yes, that’s the General.
I’m playing the Real ...

You have made much better progress compared to me. It shows the difference of abandoning North Africa compared to reinforcing this front!

(My version)
Turn 58.

Leningrad has been captured.
Stalingrad too.
After a long wait, there has been a small advance near Moscow.

British forces have been sent to defend Baku, fortunately without air support.
Now we’ll have to deal with them first.
But we’ve also ...

What if Hitler took the Mediterranean & Middle East? ‘Game over’ for the Soviet Union….
On this episode of History Undone, Fergus Macphee is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Dr Klaus Schmider to discuss a plan that Nazi Germany never went through with. At the end of 1940, Hitler faced ...

But which one?
- Another 15cm Nebel, or a 21cm one? The 21 cm has a bigger punch but also 1 less ammo and 1 less rate of fire, for 10% higher price... I think that's a tough choice.
- Or perhaps another good-old 10.5cm leFH, for about the same price but with more ammo and more range, albeit with ...

I’m also on turn 27.
I used the strategy of evacuating from North Africa.
Malta and Moscow have been captured.
Now the next target is Leningrad.
There’s also an advance into the Caucasus.

I plan to meet the Red Army’s advance along the Donets River (the classic move).
Advance to the river in the ...

Ha, I ran into that too when I sent the unit in for an upgrade

PeteMitchell wrote: Wed Jun 03, 2026 6:28 pm Now I am curious, do people buy lots of arty in BE?

I had two free slots available, so I bought 2 arty.

Does JG1 ever go to full strength? Im on turn 15 now and still doesnt let me go above 5 strength.

I think I read somewhere (I don't remember where) that the str. increases on turn 13.
But for me, it also increased by 16.



Curious about the utility of a 5 strength fighter unit.
Isn't it too ...

So actually it looks like there was some coal mining. I am not sure though how significant it was for German war efforts in general. As there was an abundance of coal in Germany and occupied Poland and Czech territories as well. So I am not too sure if it is justified to give more prestige for ...

Congrats on the release of the major update!


- If the Axis is too passive in North Africa in 1941-42 by not capturing Tobruk or by retreating to Tripoli or outright evacuating all forces to Europe then the Soviets will receive more Western Allied units since those are not needed by the British ...

Someday the map will become more historical...
And new types of city hexes.

Or some more key strategy screenshots from during the game, please :-)

Well, ok :D
without fogofwar

Begining 1942
The idea was to kill as many units as possible and retreat before the frost, avoiding a few thousand in prestige penalties (maybe 1500 by my calculations, I don't remember ...

PeteMitchell wrote: Sun Jul 06, 2025 5:11 pm As an idea, could you target Stalin's Bunker right from the start (and ignore everything else) or what are the conditions for surrender / capitulation?

I don't know exactly, I need to look at the scripts.
But after that I had this idea to conduct a landing operation on Stalin's Bunker)

PeteMitchell wrote: Thu Jun 26, 2025 7:24 pm Do you have some more maps?

Sure.
I forgot that after capturing Stalin's Bunker the Soviets capitulate. And I captured all the key points with my own forces. Apparently it would have taken another turn.

Another issue is, that arty switched to AT mode does not have the camo trait.


My experience so far is, that arties that can switch to AT mode are very rarely used in that AT mode.

Well, while we are talking about Soviet artillery...

I would not give such artillery a trait cammo.
They were ...

I think guille1434 has one for the 152mm ML-20, will check that.

Yes, Guille1434 made this unit at my request.
There are ~15 others left)
All units from the Soviet artillery roster in BE.

I'm all for direct fire mode, especially for Soviet arties.
All nations used arty in direct fire mode, but the Red Army really emphasized that (eg direct fire is also much more ammo efficient).

I've been wanting to add direct fire mode for a long time.
If someone can make icons in AT mode for ...

The Bolsheviks fell on the 96th turn, the last Oil in Iran on the 97th.
The Soviets were very strong.
I think that if Moscow is not captured quickly, the chances of victory are very small.
Although perhaps if you use random chess, they will be.
However, it was interesting to look at the late ...

:roll: :wink: Make a mod continuation of 1942, it would be interesting, the battle for Stalingrad, the Caucasus, the defense of the Soviet Army would be no less interesting... :roll: :wink:

Too many unrealised ideas for 1941 and so little time.
I'm guessing there will still be three more ...

PeteMitchell wrote: Sun Jun 15, 2025 10:48 am How is it overall?

Finals are coming soon,
after which I'll share the result here.
But overall I think victory is almost impossible if you don't capture Moscow in 41-42 quickly.
