I am finding how amazingly time consuming the GC is compared to scenarios. Also, seeing how spread out my forces are even if I am attacking into the USSR as they are melting away ... I am just asking myself; what were they thinking?

The time involved in the opening turns is a bit daunting ...

Getting ready to wrap up the first turn. I took Riga, Minsk, Lvov, and have a near pocket in Lithuania as I just need an armored unit to close the coastal ports before Riga. And have a large pocket in Biyalystock region. It looks impressive, but we all know how this will turn out.

I have a ...

I been studying the map, objectives, and ingress. Supply and rail lines are going to be a big part of this. The Balkans along with the line Pskov and the port of Riga look very inviting along with the rail straight into Ukraine. One almost get the impression that the Russians where not eager to ...

Vorwärts!!!

There are worse things, much worse things, to wake up as. To ensure you keep waking up, self-discipline must be deployed. Ballance of time/activities is the key--gotta keep moving.

Vorwarts is the lifelong call.

Hey M.S.

If you have not played the grand campaign beware of the looming first winter. If you start digging in by mid-October you should be fine. If you continue the attacks into mid-November, the Red Army (and attrition) will cripple you.

I finally got this game about three weeks ago. Lost (as ...

Now, that IS defense in depth.

There are several guys that make YouTube vids which are very helpful. Two of them are still posting informative videos of the game--there are dozens--and those are needed.

There is a discord site but have not joined it. I may. I just recently bought this game--it is a bit on the "deep" side.

I agree with that. It was a great game.

I bought all of his games that were on Talonsoft. I was struck by the similarity of those and the US Army's battalion computer battle simulation from 10 years earlier. I strongly suspect that was ...

Well nice surprise 06 maestro , good to hear from you. 60 miles out! towards red rock or north towards Mesquite? Retired myself as well, but am looking to pick up a low stress part time job. Boredom plus a little extra to play with.

I have followed the water situation here for decades--in the early 70's that was only to know when it was safe to go diving at the cliffs.<br/>

Although Lake Mead is still down from historic averages, this was a fantastic water year. Upstream Lake Powel has had a ...

I would go with the one I have played the most TOAW, WOTY, ACOW, TOAW III and soon, I suppose, TOAW IV. <br/>

PC Gaming since '99 with dozens of different games including some great ones. However, TOAW is the one that keeps pulling me back. After several ...

Congratulations on finishing the game. I see this was from last year, but had to comment. I made it over 200 turns once, but never finished a PBEM game.

This was a pretty good game.

<t> There are several versions of Francesco's counters mod to choose from--not just the one shown in this thread. He also has created a "models" mod for the unit builder interface that accurately depicts equipment. <br/>
The models mod is limited to use in other mods depending on how much was ...

<r> Yep, it is WAD. If I understand your question, I would add there is no problem. What you are experiencing is double consumption.<br/>
<br/>
If you are already at 1000 NM, then that double consumption is partially wasted. If you are well below 1000 then it is a great help as it accelerates NM ...

<t> France would have made at least 3rd place. If GB was being led by a less capable King, France could have gone even higher. It's too bad we could not finish this game-there were still a challenge, or two, left.<br/>

If we suddenly have a replacement player appear and the merging can be ...

I think you fail to see the fact that I was not going to abandon the Ottoman Empire. It was thanks to Ottoman aid that France was able to recover to the extent she did. I was more than happy aiming for the positions behind the OE, so I would ...

Thanks Al-and sorry Terje; R added [;)]

Prussia is in a tough spot-right in the middle of everything-almost. No doubt we would all do a couple things differently in a rematch. You did keep the little Empire busy-and in the sights of bigger powers.

This looks to be the end of the game. Iron Warrior, who did the turn merge is having some difficulties with his new W7 computer. During the wait for turn 238, Anthropoid (Russian player) decided to call it quits. It is possible ...
