Well. I am going for early and strong barbarossa, not africa or balkans or spain etc. Only possible choice is norway, because its a great base to destroy russian convoys. You can counter allied bombers with your fighters, you can use your own bombers and surface ships from norway ports (thats why I...

(...) Now next turn I will have ~115 - 120 PPs and I am unsure, what to do with them - 2nd naval lab (last one to fill the limits), 4th fighter, 3rd TAC bomber, armour, couple of mechs, sub or maybe BB even. Usually I buy a third TAC early. However, if you do it now, it will not be available until ...

It's March 14 '41, I have bought no leaders and no corps. Still trying to keep up with labs and build up the armor and mech. Have bought four armor and (so far) one mech. Plus three additional fighters and four tac. This is really a frustrating joke. The gap between what I read about in AARs and wh...

2. Subs can be destroyed only on Axis player initiative. Whatever Allies do, if the Germans do not attack with their subs and keep them in the open sea they cannot be destroyed. I think that introducing such an element is bad for game balance, it gives Axis too big control over the development of a...

Thanks for an entertaining and interesting AAR! Congrats on getting back into the game after the crushing defeat of the USA. Although I greatly admire Supermax's audacity and skill, it is clearly also an issue of game design - that the rest of the USA are not part of the game made the Axis victory p...

... I guess it might be a bit tricky to come up with a good map that would cover that much of the globe and not be hopelessly distorted. Anybody an expert on map-projections with a good idea for this? The map projection is not really the problem, because there are enough out there that have tackled...

Huh! Well, I pulled that right out of the manual (sorry, I put that in the 'title' space, but I guess that doesn't appear anywhere). So... the manual (at least, the latest GS version of the manual), suggests that only the best general in range has any effect, and additional generals are ignored. Of...

Yes, I'm also happy with the current values. And I'm also against making units non-spottable ("invisible"). After all, we're talking about Corps-sized units. However, I've wondered whether it would be possible to simulate the effect that air reconnaissance in particular happened over enemy...

I've made some changes to the GS code so it's possible to set in general.txt which countries in Africa and the Middle East will be affected by Axis Med supply. I made 3 states you can set for each country. 0: Country never affected 1: Country always affected 2: Country affected, but not if Ankara (...

As I have argued in another thread, I would suggest to NOT count Axis units in Iraq IF the Axis holds Turkey or has a land connection via former USSR territory. On the other hand, Iran does not seem to be included (reported by another player). I think it should be, under the same conditions as Iraq....

2. Which region exactly is affected by the Axis limited supply rule (i.e., what countries constitute "Middle East" in the game)? Does it include Turkey, Iraq, Persia? Thanks for information and sorry if this has been answered someplace else - without the search function it's difficult to ...

1. Has anyone ever captured Malta? How did you do it? In Vanilla it was hard, but in GS it seems impossible due to the limitation of two air attacks per hex. I've managed to bring the garrison down to 3 steps with air and naval bombardment, but a string of unsuccessful attacks brought them back to 9...

[...] Currently it seems as though experience is lost at a rate very close to the amount of steps being replaced. Does anyone have the current exact formula? I always assumed that the new experience is the average of the experience of all, veterans and green recruits. E.g. a unit with 6 steps left ...

Hi everyone, I'm enjoying GS a lot. I think it's an excellent improvement of an already good game. That said, I take an interest in its future development - which looks promising considering the many good ideas discussed here! However, I strongly disagree with one idea brought up: 28. Elite Units. a...
