And my opinion hasn't changed though I ev entually stopped losing planes.

I've finished all scenarios. 93 play through in red.

To play quibbles:
Planes crashing to fuel loss. Nonsense mechanic.
Heavy Flak popping up like weeds. Their Hard/Soft defenses need cutting except 88's. This was present but less annoying

My tanks were 11-15 each the planes too! Inf were murderated by this one.

The point is I wasn't using 41 junk tanks but '43 killers. Further compounded by it being out of ammo. It was worn down to 1SP. regenerated to 4 after I ran out of ammo and forced to leave an opening. In later Campaign my ...

I just finished assigning a corps to kill an ammo-less KV I. It took 10 turns.

Assigned were 4 Mk IVG, 1x 150mm gun, 1x 170mm gun, 1x INF, 1X Bridger, 1 Bf109F, 1 Do217E, 1 Ju 87D. They were successful. Another KV I died quicker, I shudder to think if they had had 3.

Twice tried to put German on Transport. crashed twice.

Does Germ have a Transport in scenario? The icon lights up.

Add another crash at other Crimean port.

Just finished Moscow'41 .93v. Weather was better. Bolshevik hordes were nasty. Failed to tale last objective when Luftwaffe grounded by rain. Declared loss but moved on to Stalingrad next. Say is that far objective Vladivostok (Baku)?

An extra turn or two might be needed especially if my weather ...

My attack on Moscow isn't stalled, it's retreating westward.

My core is now at 27 units with 8 LW and 1 Flak leaving. 18 ground units, 4 are Arty. 8 Inf, 6 Pz (3 lost to T-34 over run).

Prestige: 4882

In several battles most annoyingly in MOSCOW, it is impossible to replace lost core units causing higher losses as line thins.

Curious as to why. It's not ahistorical, but bad for game balance.

Yup its good and thumping. However like almost every comp game made to date: there ain;t enuff!

I suggest visiting the TIME OF FURY team and steal their music...that has a ton.

Stuff needed

Panzerlied

Nat Anthems.
Deutschland Uber Alles
Hymn of the Soviet Union
Others

Perhaps as signature ...

2 crashes turn one on France South/Paris Offensive scenario. Both occurred at different activity points.

I don't play on Impossible guess I'm just JV.

Ok. That makes some sense.

What level do units represent?

I'm guessing regiments (consistent with a Corps command) but ground scale is large enough for Brigades or divisions.

Another possibility to keep game fresh is to allow commander personality to be picked.

Hard-Charger: The Patton/Chesty Puller type. Has less turns to win, gets more prestige and possibly an affect on combat factors.

Aggressive: Standard PzCps

Methodical : US Army doctrine, Bradley or Monty ...

Kerensky
Someone stated they moved close to Narvik. I assumed it was you as you play at and therefore do the Impossible . :D


All reviews in, all scenarios played at least twice (2nd Moscow started but not yet completed). Several early ones played 3-4 times each.
Managed not to lose any CORE units ...

Whew!!!!!

Defeated here, about 14 of 22 turns mud. How does one defeat weather? Since this was historical loss why does campaign end? Pure luck involved in hoping for better weather dice?
