I have tried a number of times to download the new updat but it just keeps erroring out any tips of tricks ?

Nope sorry Elephants are not that good they die after couple of js 2 and su 100 's attack them ,even with arty supoport .(even when the enemy is on a river hex . The horde of t 34/85 cuts through everything else .On turn one they knock out or down every infantry holding the towns the 2 pz4's are at ...

I was asking if someone has won this not in campaign mode but just the vanilla scenario

I am playing this on fieldmarshal anybody else actually win it on this setting ?
I like to play a challenge but I've tried 30+ times and nothing . are the other games in the slitherine line up like Panzer Corp (this tuff/ unwinnable)
Is this game better played through Campaign ,I was trying the ...

I have played several games and Have come to the conclusion that the russians should have made only this tank SU 100 .Its better than any german antitank and tank ,kills infantry with no problem has little or no vulnerabilitys its great really . However its not realistic, maybe the initiative is too ...

Ok my second post on this since the search function doesnt work . I have played aleat 30+ times as germans and 6 times as soviet .Soviets has a easy win here , no surprise . The germans not so much I play on colonel setting or higher and its just no fun not even a chance .As for historical I wont ...

Well I have played PG for many years and I have played PK, east coast, ardenes , normandy , sicily , kursk , moscow 43 , all on colonel or higher and I have to say Balaton is a stinker .I have played this game 25 times ,I have come close 1 or 2 turns of victoty but I can quite crak it . The German ...

"Regarding the accuracy of the list. I have checked a couple of books that I have at home regarding ancient battles and Pyrrhus is credited having 3.000 cavalrymen over a 35.000 (whole army at Heraclea) army and 3.000 cavalrymen over 20.000 thousand Greek troops he brought with him. This means more ...

"Ironic that you accuse others of not being open to discussion, before resorting to insults" Yeah I get upset when people dont read the whole post and then claim to want to "discuss things " .Meaning I dont believe in your intention to want to disuss the topic .By your own statements you make it ...

Just because one person diagrees with my oppinion doesn't make them (who ever that person is Right ) either . Wow thats some great logic shrub where you on debat team or what ? :lol: "If you mean a limited number of soldiers...surely it's the proportions that are important in forming army lists, not ...

"But even so, if you don't like the army and the way it plays in the game, there is a fairly obvious solution. Especially when there are any number of other Hellenistic-flavour armies to choose from. Just saying. "

I never said I only played this list My real complait is the list doesn't represent ...

"I'd be interested in seeing which you think we like or dislike - just a quick bash, nothing exhaustive needed. I'm sure our preferences must show somewhere so it'd be nice to see where the punters think that is."


Bosporan,LRR,Carthage, come to mind right off the bat in ROR .I did not say you made ...

True enough! Its a list by design never to be used .Open the army books and you spot which lists the authors like or dislike IMHO

Ahh yeah try reading the earlier posts I am well aware who pyrrhus is . The historical minimums for cavalry are not Historical they are to high for an army that had limited numbers of available troops .Also Pyrrhus fought his first battle against the romans with only his forces and that of the ...

well as a successor list who do you think most of my enemies are ( Romans ) (successors)

yeah, when The lists only allow average pike and the combat system is rather luck reliant I need every advantage I can get. But as far as being movement rescrictive behined my lines the same would go for spear aswell 6 to 8 bases can be quite an obstacle even if 8 inches behind . Does anybody really ...

WOW well I dont think I was doing that right . Well thats nearly usless for people with pike armies .Long trailing colomns of support that seems goofy to me but not my rules . I didn;t use rear support that much before (to expensive ) and now this is going to be totaly useless to me . 8 stands in a ...

why do they have to be in a single base wide column ? do you have to have all bases of a supporting BG partly behined the supported BG ,That just seems a little too restrictive . ( in this senario pike would never get support Yuoo would run out of table space ) I thought a 4 stand BG could set up ...

So while more likly to take base loses the 8 bg is more resistant to moral rolls ?
I can modify the Cohesion roll ,with rear support or a commander .The death roll I cant . So with rear support and quality rerolls It seems that the smaller BG's are better . I find myself using a large BG as fly ...

Well I dont think the cavalry minimums are backed up by history and the other better documented hellenistic lists have a lower minimum . As reguards to designing the list to have pyrrhic victorys ,Firstly who would play that list and second alexanders list would look alot better than it does now ...
