Great for providing air base for short-range aircraft

<t> I use fast recon or fighters to locate AA. Outflank positions to get at AA from the ground,attacking with armor and/or&nbsp;artillery. Once AA is weakened or suppressed(red), then you can even finish it off with airstrikes.<br/> It is important to attack in the correct order, depending on th...

<t> It would be nice to add a few extra battles after decisive victories in some of the scenarios. The idea of a single Panzer Corps single-handedly winning WWII is a bit naive to say the least. The ability to mitigate the short-term situation would be reasonable however. To successfully withdraw fr...

<t> Unfortunately this game is more like a simulation of combined arms combat than the typical 'wargame'. If you want to just crash ahead, slash and burn, and have a grand old time you will quickly wither and die, as the computer AI will overwhelm you. You must advance in an organized manner, checki...

<t> Panzer Corps is an Operational level game. It is not on a large strategic scale where one could expect to influence something as large as was WWII. There could be 2 to 5 corps just in one army, and 2 to 5 armies in an army group, so you are criticizing a game for not allowing less than 10% of a ...

Also, you might note, Panzer Grenadiers while on halftracks only have a visibility of one. That may contribute to your problem as well.

<t> A myth is not based on facts. If one looks at each individual item of equipment, piece by piece you can make a comparison that is valid on a tactical level. At a strategic level, quantity comes into its own as the Stalin quote reminds us.<br/> There is little doubt that certain German weapons we...

<t> I think these kind of questions can be simply answered, just by reading the product info:<br/> •Next generation engine with advanced shader effects and lighting<br/> •Free form quest map that allows players to decide when and where to fight within a historical framework<br/> •More than 20 differ...

<t> What distresses me is that our militaries want to fight the next war in the same way that they fought the last one, then are rudely surprised when it doesn't work. IMHO unmanned a/c capable of 2-3 times the performance of manned a/c and shipkiller missiles, satellite-guided at ranges approaching...

<t> I spent years shooting a compound bow. Found I had less and less interest in it. Bought a recurve bow and my love of archery was renewed. Now I make my own arrows, bowstrings and even bow quivers. Don't have the confidence or expertise to build my own bow. I don't shoot year round here in Alaska...

<t> People who want to only play the AI should use a later year start in the game after you have become good enough. Honestly, many people already consider the game too hard even with the 1939 yearstart as they can't win against the AI . If you refuse to learn or use proper combined arms the game ca...

Usually up for another game as Axis players keep dropping out.
There is usually lots of action available at Slitherine Strategies, especially for the GS mod.

Hi All! Is anyone out there who would like to play a few games of the GS mod? If you want to play Axis, just send me your first move. If I have to, I can play Axis myself.

I usually build at least two light missile batteries. Some of the races don't build much in the way of fleets except for assault ships and transports and this can handle that type of problem. For serious problems there is no substitute for a fleet.

The Nato symbols are the way to go. Much more descriptive than little models. My only problem is that I really like the tank models . Too bad we can't pck and choose which types of units to use with Nato symbols.

Has anyone else found that when your home planet is destroyed most of the bureaucracy penalty disappears? Had that happen in one of my early games when the Klurgu destroyed Earth. I was just learning the game and was almost bankrupt. Earth died and my income shot up!

Basically, if you are human, you shouldn't upgrade mines, as right now there doesn't seem to be a good counter to that much pollution. Don't really understand why asteroid mining and comet mining seem to produce negative modifiers, as by definition they would be off-planet.

<t> In my third game as humans, I was able to reach over 500k in cash reserves, build an 80 ship fleet(DestroyerIIs,BattlecruisersIIs, missile cruiserIIS,DoomwingerIIs) and become an almost unstoppable force by turn 300 of the 12 player game. Bureaucracy is quite playable as it is. Hint: As human do...

<t> Bureaucracy is the natural friction that has always limited the size of empires in the human experience, which is why no one power has ever conquered the entire world. I consider it quite realistic. Players of these games don't generally prefer simulations but games. A simulation MAY also be fun...

This is the most streamlined 4X game ever. You can zip through a decent-sized game in 8 hours or less. Turns can take mere seconds. 100 turns an hour is pretty easy to do. Most of my modestly sized games last 2-300 turns or so since I do prefer the smaller maps.
