Re: initial impressions

I'm finding it really hard to adapt my thinking to the new rules. I had the same thing when I first played DoM so hopefully I will get better! Observations so far: -3 or 4 spaces of movement in a quite constrained map mean that the AI consistently pulls moves I didn't see coming. -the new supply rul...

Re: Weather

Good point, thanks. An extra turn of clear weather would make it quite possible for the Axis to take Moscow, whereas an early start to mud could be paralysing.

As I suspect most people have, I have worked out a 90%+ successful method as the Axis playing against Zhukov. Almost always (barring catastrophic ...
