Re: Update 2.0.1
I am very happy that the dice rolls have reverted back to the 1.x version... I am not frustrated by the game anymore! :D I'm offering a contrary view. With the stacked odds (which Shenandoah have yet to acknowledge), the advanced Axis AI at least had a chance to beat an experienced player. I'd like...

Re: new AI
Last night I tried Typhoon against the new Russian AI. My turn 1 planned offensives produced a whopping six pips of damage and (obviously) no pocket. I still won easily, largely due to ill conceived Russian maneuvering on the flanks.

Re: new AI
I've now played four campaigns vs. the new German AI: 1 draw, that could have been a win had I not bungled supply. 2 losses, Moscow captures. In both cases, the AI successfully formed a pocket on the first turn, trapping virtually every forward defender. One might have been a draw, the other a Germa...

Re: new AI
I haven't seen any evidence of 'bad dice' in almost a half dozen games vs. the AI: Typhoon: 3, all wins, some easy. At the Gates: 1, easy win. I thnk ObliqueStrats is correct about this one. It may benefit from a VP adjustment. Moscow Campaign: 1 win, Moscow captured. The Rokossoovsky AI is a vast i...

Re: Drive on Moscow rule clarifications
I am not aware of any case where ownership of Moscow fails to be detected if the Axis units could trace supply at the time. I don’t suppose the game is still on your device so that you can send it via the Feedback button in the menu. The game wasn't bugged (at the time...), I just wanted to test ...

Re: Drive on Moscow rule clarifications
Do I have this right? Axis units attack into Moscow, retreating the defenders and establishing control of the territory. They hold their ground against the Soviet counterattack. That maintains control of the space. Other Soviet units break the Axis supply line. At the end of the turn, the Axis will ...

Re: Any hope of recovering MP game?
Voronezh is in Russian hands.
Game on! I unexpectedly received a GC notification that read something like "action completed." We're back in business. Percussive maintenance must have kicked the turn free.

Re: Any hope of recovering MP game?
^Thanks for the suggestion. Tried and failed. We are on turn 15. Disappointing to lose a multiplayer game with so much time invested - I want to see how it ends.

Any hope of recovering MP game?
Gamecenter tells me it is my turn. My opponent sees the same thing. When I load the game, late in the campaign, I see my most recent move. The game indicates I am awaiting my opponent's turn. Is there any hope of fixing this? I don't have email configured on my iPad. I've asked my opponent to submit...

Re: New victory points thresholds
^You could easily have been down another 9 vp for Rzhev and its 3 infantry which miraculously survived with 1 pip each and refused to retreat, however I agree that the new vp thresholds put tremendous pressure on the German side. You did everything short of taking Moscow (and nearly did that too), a...

To update mid-game or not, that is the question
I'm in the middle of three multiplayer campaigns and one tournament game. And now we have an update. That was quick! The blog announcing the update ( http://www.shenandoah-studio.com/drive-moscow-war-snow-update-103/ ) doesn't go into particulars, but mentions some game balancing. What specifically ...

Re: The Three Most Important Things For Good Russian Play
I hear you. Moscow hasn't fallen, but I've watched with horror as a German stack lasered its way in successive turns through 4 points of defenders in Mozhaysk and 5 points of cavalry in Zvenigorod, taking only 2 hits in the process. I've gone from a solid but thin line to absolute desperation. Still...

Re: Drive on Moscow Screenshot Contest
How about a dramatic moment from the Soviet side? This is Operation Typhoon, early in turn 5, vs. an esteemed opponent, not the AI. This is the aftermath of a brave attack by the mighty 4th Tank Brigade and Belov Cavalry into Vyazma, destroying the Hun 10 Pz and forcing the chastened survivors of th...

Re: End of Day Quibble
Same here, with an additional quibble. I don't recall Bulge forcefully snapping the map to a changed, close-up scale. I'd rather the map display in the same state I last left it. Please.

All right Nick. If you and David report no issues, I'll make the jump. Thanks for your excellent responsiveness to your customers past and present. I should be up and running for Moscow within a couple hours.nkarp wrote:I have a low-end iPad 2 with iOS7-- so far no regrets.

Oh my. I have an iPad 2 but I'm still not sure I want to risk the upgrade to ios 7. I've seen reports of laggy performance. I've learned to avoid Apple's major OS updates. They've kludged prior generations of hardware.

Huge gratitude to Shenandoah Studios! It's one thing to support avid customers with free game codes for tournament champions (Alamein - ooo, can't wait).
