Plans for the next phase of operations:

1., Holding Moscow
...and not aiming to capture the Volga - Oka river region as in the winter I would have anyway to pull back to better defensible positions

2., Focusing all my main resources in the Northeast to take Leningrad
This would free up the Finns ...

The harsher penalties make it more important to defend the Reich from bombing raids.

With 4 squadrons of Fw's, 2 squadrons of JU88G bomber destroyers and a squadron of Bf110G bomber destroyers, I thought i had enough defenses. How wrong i was...




Oh wow, what turn is this?


I cant ...

I noticed another oddity.
Despite receiving a message stating that the western ports on the French coast would be turned into fortresses, this didn’t happen.
I don’t know what the reason is.

But I recalled that on several occasions (I think three) at the start of the Axis turn, I received an ...

Hi, may somebody explain please what are the reasons for selecting quantity of 5 and particular units as core? I mean why not 10 for example and no infantry/artillery present in core roster? From opposite PoV will it make much difference if simply mark all units as auxiliary (no core ones)?

I ...

I am interested to know how you only allowed a few weakened units to land in Sicily. Did you line the coast with cheap units and just absorb the damage or heavily stack naval and air forces to defend Husky?


It is usually a combined sea, air and land operation.
I expected the coastline to come ...

(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 suffered some losses.

In the ...

On the Eastern Front our forces have crossed the Don after heavy fighting and with the river now freezing we are able to bring further reinforcements in a push towards Stalin's bunker at Kuybyshev. The enemy are still able to throw heavy tank forces at us, so the pace has slowed and fuel shortages ...

I like that the river boat can now refuel at all cities on rivers. I usually put it in the Pripet Marshes to find/chase partisans, so it can now operate there quite freely without having to worry about running out of fuel.

It was also cool seeing how the train tracks were built turn by turn in ...

We have seen through the winter of '42/43 with great success, having beaten back the Russian drive on Kursk. We caused devasting casualties to the Russians whilst preserving our forces and captured a large number of prisoners. However, this success came at a cost. By drawing in our reserves to Kursk ...

I think General Werner paired two Wurfrahmen once to drive towards Moscow...

I think he had 3 of them together that he used in conjunction with each other.
In this play through I upgraded 1 of the smaller artillery to Wurframen as I noticed it’s cheaper now compared to v2.4. But I’m struggling ...

In early 1943 on the Eastern front, our forces made their final push towards Moscow, grinding down the defenders and advancing to within artillery range of the city. However, we were forced to pull back and redeploy the majority of our armor as Army Group South were almost overwhelmed by Russian ...

In North Africa our forces managed to break through the flank of the defenders at El Alamein, but were then forced back as reinforcements arrived from the Suez.

Further to the west and several months later, a separate Axis force drove into and occupied Tunis and Kasserine Pass and are ready to hold ...

The progress is going well, but the Soviets have massed their forces in the defense of Moscow and its become a bit of a grind.

Kiev/Kharkov/Belgorod axis is more lightly defended and we make better progress here. We intend to hold the line at the Don River as Moscow is the key focus.

At the moment ...

Is Nebelwerfer now no longer in series? So you cant upgrade them anymore other than paying full cost?


It looks like they are not. I do not remember why it is like that, I think I just wanted to have more unit variety: if the Nebels were in the same upgrade family then players would just ...

Im up to around turn 27 now. My plan was to close the various pockets before retreating back to the start lines for the onset of winter. I then advanced on a broad front in the East. I also transferred some forces to North Africa and am attempting to break through the El Alamein defenses before the ...

I did the conversion from strat bomber to fighter for around 3 or 4 aircraft.
The first one that came out on turn 16 had strength 15for some reason? Thereafter, the remaining fighters came out at strength 10 each turn. Not that im complaining, but i guess the strength 15 one is a bug.

Just got to turn 16 and got the notification you can now put it to to full strength.

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