We are working on it.

I think the solution to this problem is the make VPs harder for the Germans to get close to the start line, and reward them more for going far and penetrating further. Don't agree: the way the game is now structured there is no problem for the German player to penetrate the thinly held allied lines...

Your opponent is giving you options, he doesn't defend the river lines.
There is a lot of time to go.

I agree.

Show me, cosrara, I'm gregorit on GameCenter, feel free to set up a few matches with you as the Germans. My personal belief is that committing a panzer stack to a head-on assault to Verviers early in the game makes things easier for the Allies from a strategic perspective. As I wrote it's not the b...

If Verviers is defended in force by two units and Spa with one the Meuse is wide open for the German to pick. If Verviers is defended by two units and Spa is abandoned then Vierviers can fall on the 19 under a panzer stack (not the best option but still doable), but if you are going towards the Meus...

Let's examine the VP in detail from 16th to 22th (when the allied reinforcement come in but are not actually ready for combat) for a german player not willing to commit to the Meuse (but you can easily switch to Meuse mode if the allied player tries to hold all those towns: St Vith: you take it on t...

Sound analysis gregorit.
I would add that if the Allied player fall in love with the idea of holding Bastogne it usually end up trading 2-3 days with a much needed armor unit AND the delaying of 22th american reinforcement (not a great deal in my opinion).

@gregorit : couldn't agree more.
The same happens to me all the time, it's only some terrible combat result that alter this course of events.

Race to the Meuse is a joke. The only scenario worth playing is Battle of the Bulge, I would love to see stats (human vs human) for THAT. All things considered the AI is pityful and beatable on your very first game. I agree with the first post, Germans have the edge among experienced players and not...

In one of my games as Allies I'm not able to make the British reinforcements crossing the Meuse. I'm doing fairly well in that particular game and the amis were able to stop the hun tide all alone, holding BAstogne, Verviers and SPA and isolating a German controlled Marche. The German player is down...
