Also I was shattered at the premature end of the Overlord 2 vs 2 game, even though it was only version 1.4. A 1 vs 1 version of Overlord would be awesome though.

Perhaps some of us should start a "bitter end" test group?

Soviet Navy Seals.

What Soviet? Those are Germans. The text says so. Can't you tell a pure-blooded Aryan lass when you see one? Unbelieavable

it was a joke

Mine was a joke too

Which is which? Same applies to Yugoslavia.

Overlord 1.3 and 1.4 were massively in favour of the Axis. Against Bren the Eastern Germans have taken over the British beaches and pushed the British into the US beach areas, only the RN keep the Germans from annihilating the invasion force. In another as the Western Germans the US have had to give up on Cherbourg and now being held up well away from St Lo.

I fear v2 will not help. The Allies need more AT and engineers. The revised RP mean the Germans can very quickly heal AA to 10HP then ship them on train to the front, thus completely negating Allied air superiority. And the train lines are great for the Germans, I load up artillery, tanks and AA get them all lined up and stop the allies in their tracks.

Jeez, I'm fairly speechless but I can just about type. Only two thoughts for now.
Trains - armoured and otherwise. Am I the only one who has seen the gun camera footage of train busting? After the damage done to the French rail network by the Allies - even Arthur Harris had his arm twisted, to lend a hand - the only way to some of that effect in OoB would have every rail bridge destroyed at the start. If that can not be done, leave them off the map.
French tanks - no stars, add them to the turncoat 'Red Army' and give them the 14 RPs the Canadians start the game with, they have to support air and land units - forget about their naval contribution more the moment!
Shiss, I need more than a big mug of tea, after all that. It's as well there is some nice cold Polish Karpackie in the fridge
Forgive any typos, not feeling very well.

PS. If we do not finish earlier versions, how will we know how good or bad they are?

Agreed on the trains, the Allies were able to trash the lines plus anything that move. I'd asl say more construction units for the allies or add the Kent coast with airfields.

The French tanks seem ok, I'd spend the RP on AA rather than them.

We should certainly try to get closer to and end game before another version unless we defo know it's broken.

I know I bitched about China vs Japan and non allied Chinese but in hindsight, as we continued, it sort of worked. We'll see with the latest version.

Typhoon 1941-42. You probably haven't thought about this one for a long time, but it is still interesting, except for the fact that scenario 3, Stalino is flawed. German R s do not accumulate at 50/turn and Germans run out of RP in 6-7 turns, rendering it impossible to continue.
