<t> You get down to playing it. I've done it twice. If you are serious about it, you create a bunch of spreadsheets to try to keep control of everything. It takes a while, but with one turn per day you should get through it - or if the players are roughly equal, to the inevitable draw. Be sure you ...

Yes please!

Play it out. It is still a win... from the education and learning. A half game does not show you the end game.

<t> YES! No sane sub commander will choose to take on a sub-hunter like a DD. This game would be far better if the number of convoy points lost to subs could be seriously increased, BUT then decreased through the proximity and density of escort/anti-submarine assets like DDs, CVEs, CLs and Maritime ...

W@W is a lot more fun... but you have to play the Allies, because the Allied AI is a true box of rocks.

WiE has far better AI for both sides, but the limited scope can make it repetitious after a few games.

Max out your Logistics Research. Rommel in the ME. 2HQs in the West. All the rest in the East.

Keep the artillery; it is useful when the Afrika Korps shows up. Rockets are useless. You can upgrade AT later, but AT units are mostly only useful as garrisons ...

Of course scale is the big difference, but under the hood WiE has the advantage of longer and deeper development. WaW has some irritating "features" [underdeveloped scripts] that more development and refinement can sort out. As much as I like WiE, <B><s>[b ...

playing the Allies in the 39 campaign is a bit passive during the early game

Passive does not mean idle. An "aggressive" defence is the foundation for the longer term, when the tide turns.

AI = "artificial intelligence"? No; it's more like genuine stupidity. [:)]

It's fun to play the Western Allies after D-Day, and to race the Soviet AI to Berlin.

Exactly zero. More or less nada. About absolutely nothing. The moment France surrenders, they disappear. Poof!

<t> 1) Launched Sealion in late 1945, with Moscow surrounded - but deliberately not taken - and driving northwards from the Caucasus... and won Decisively. No Vichy; USSR declared war on Axis in September 1941... plodded patiently east for most of the game.<br/>

2) Panzers 90% East; Fighters ...

<t> There is a lot of stuff that has been railroaded to Weirdsville by scripts that have not been tested, especially in the later stages of the scenarios. I suspect there are even a few that have not gone beyond mid-game.<br/>

Here's another suspect: What fires the "Build Atlantic Wall" for ...

I have never seen it.

The best coastal defence is Ports with Armies, combined with swarms of high level(5) U-boats. You can slaughter amphibs "by the boat load". Have a reaction force of tanks (with one Heavy) under a good commanders at the ready. Do not be passive in defence.

It must be ramming its targets with energetic rowing, and then boarding with hooks and cutlasses. Aaaargghhh! [:D]

<r> Land at Cuxhaven. It blocks the Kiel Canal, is close to Berlin, you avoid all of the junk in France, and the AI is generally quite casual in its response. This is <br/>
