Re: AI doesn't play fair

Many players suspect an issue with the AI's combat rolls; however, the developers have made it clear that the AI neither cheats in any way nor have units with any built-in advantages over player units, it is, according to them, a level playing field. That said I have an AI bug report in right now fo...

Re: What's next? (after El Alamein, i.e.)

I absolutely second the Napoleonic era but I'd love to see a couple games set in more ancient times since that era is somewhat lackluster for good iOS strategy titles. However, my most wanted titles would be either on based on the American Revolution or the War of 1812. I've got enough 20th century ...

Re: new AI

Initially I was against suspecting that the hit roles against defending units were rigged or glitched somehow but after my last game, I'm on jumping on board. 17 infantry attacks, 3 full stacks, against a single, 2 pips remaining, utterly out of supply, non-elite tank, the only defender unit of Mosc...

Re: Tips for the Soviets, grand campaign.

I find playing the Soviet player in the grand campaign much easier than playing the German player. Having now played, and won, with the Axis, I'd agree. I thought it would be much easier than playing the Soviets but found it more difficult to hold VP locations during the winter counter attack than ...

Re: What's in a name?

I quite like the combo, Panzers in the Sand: The Battle of El Alamein. The first segment will interest the general pool of gamers looking for a strategy title, as 'Panzers' has decent enough name recognition for any core gamer, non-strategy gamer and a decent margin of non-gamers who are making gift...

Re: Tips for the Soviets, grand campaign.

Hi Topher, Suggest playing on game center against good human opponents & watching what they do. A few tips though: 1) Extract some burly front line troops if at all possible. Though they can be rebuilt later, getting some 5 or 6 str units out really helps. 2) Don't defend forward one-time VP ci...

Tips for the Soviets, grand campaign.

I'm getting utterly destroyed by the AI. After the first few attempts, getting to grips with the system and losing, I tried to cut off the axis supply lines as early as possible, as I don't have enough units early on to put up any sort of offensive or establish any real defensive line, so I figured ...
