Pretty much any small notebook computer, I've had it running on a 13" Macbook Air running Windows under bootcamp, would probably evening run on one those very cheap netbooks with an Atom processor

If you make a unit into an SS unit and it has an HQ attached, what happens to the HQ? Does the unit come back with the HQ still attached, or do you need to detach it first (and lose 5 PP)? Am just worried that the HQ might "disappear" if I don't unattach it, but I don't want to lose 5PPs i...

I suppose a super-heavy siege artillery unit might be plausible, but it should be very slow (max movement 2 hexes, and that negatively affected by non-clear terrain), have a max range of 2, and have very low survivability and ground defence. I would also argue that it's ground attack value be quite ...

At the game's map scale, it would be pretty unrealistic IMHO to increase the attack range of a ground unit to >1 hex - field artillery could just not fire that far (at least not and still be able to hit the desired target area). If you increased the attack range to 2, then ground units in Calais wou...

The game is the wrong scale to model assault guns as seperate units, it deals with Corps and Division-sized units, which already abstract in values for these through the artillery and anti-tank tech advances. Dive bombers would be considered part of the components of the existing tactical bomber units

Mupawa - if you're doing that well, why let Monty have even Gibraltar?

Brits get supply 5 in Iraq/Persia which can make things hard for he Axis at supply 3

Against capable human opponents?

I can see how it can be done if the UK isn't defended properly (and would be tempted to take advantage of such an opportunity) but usually they are.

I'm available if I can play as the axis. Can do a turn a day at the start, but probably a little less once the game develops and the turns take longer to think about and carry out. Am probably around intermediate level, not a beginner, but not up to the advanced level of some of the players on here....

Given that the Brits can cover pretty much all of the south east coast of England with units and easily rail units to near where axis transports are likely to land, how does one go about trying to execute a successful Sealion, assuming one has enough U-boats to cover the invasion fleet and/or block ...

I'd like that...but not for a while, am embroiled in a couple of games at the moment and they're eating what spare time I have

This is a very strange game! Interesting, though!

Surely you can spare a garrison and 2 rail? And you get your SS upgrade increase in January so one would think your armor in Russia has little to do, and it is always a bad idea to leave it in the line in winter against the red airforce. So if you decide against it, it will likely be for a differen...

Also, bear in mind it's not always convenient to rail an experienced unit from, say, the Russian front back to Germany in order to be able to upgrade it to a para or SS unit, as the axis I'm often using my full rail cap most turns as it is!

Ok what's the best way of knocking Norway out of the war? I attacked in june 1940 with 2 infantry backed up with 2 stukas.The stukas got the oslo garrison down to 7 and my infantry,due to attrition,was also on 7 by the time they were near enough to attack,which did no damage to the enemy.The follow...

Thanks, makes sense

Not allowing units below a certain strength to launch attacks seems an unjustified restriction given that it would affect many other situations in which a player may wish to make attacks with low-strength units. Seems simpler to restrict placing new units in cities with supply lower than 4. I think...

You're not far off there!

Is this I intended or a bug?

Well that's what I was thinking, but would be useful if anyone is able to confirm this 100%
