Hi guys.

If you need another player I would be interested.

Haven't played for a long time, but I really enjoyed Nava's tournament until his work took him away.

Regards

Rob

Everyone's welcome!

As it so happens, there may be an Axis command opening... Keep posted here.

He just suddenly cut off all contact so I assumed it was his work and he couldn't say. he worked for the U.S. Army.

I chatted with him about a year ago on PM. As Rob stated, he had gone away for his work. He thought he might be able to start playing again...but I never heard from him after that.

Tunis tournament was indeed a very good one.

Hope all is well with him.

Welcome back, almost reported you MIA! :cry:

Cavehobbit can try but I found it can be buggy if the Soviets set up (let me know if you guys do try that).

Otherwise your set up would be
Axis Attack - Wilderness - Openness 80
SS Div. 41 vs. Sov. Line Div. 41

I would suggest no more than a Medium battle in size and forces.

Let me know if there are other questions.

Is it because we're currently playing against each other?

I think he may have unintentionally added you to his 'Foe' list. Hope you can get back on track soon.

MacD you have the turn. :D I guess I must have turned on the foe button for you. I have changed that status. :D I don't think that has any effect on the game it still showed you having the turn :D

This medal for all of the Soviets playing in the first round!

Image - for "courageous defense of the state borders"


My apologies for the Soviet forces, they looked better on paper (that KV-2 isn't cheap!). The other Division types will fare better I'm sure.

Fight on Comrades!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medal_for_Battle_Merit

EDIT: So I've run some tests and the Soviet Line Div. don't seem to be getting the number of units that I thought they would. For example, the minimum Militia should be 5 with a maximum of 8 but in a Medium force they only get 1 with an option to buy 1?! Again, this should be ok moving forward with the rest of the divisions but this took me by surprise...looking into it.

How goes the war?

Just wanted to get an update on the battles...eager to update the map.

For the next round, they will all be Meeting Engagement (Soviets, you'll have a much better chance in that one...make it count!).

And FM's you'll be able to switch around Generals, nobody is stuck in any given sector or against the same opponent...in fact, FM's I encourage you to get some feedback from your Generals on their opponents strengths/weaknesses.

Any suggestions/comments are always welcome.

In the Center, Random's SS force is rolling over my poor defenders without much trouble. The battle will be over within one or two turns. I've managed to kill some of his SS infantry, but lacking enough AT there's not much for me to do...
