Hi

It has been sometime since I last loaded up this game and it looks like a number of changes have been made with recent patches.

Could someone please tell me the best settings to use for reasonably challenging German vs AI games now that there are new choices to make for national morale, combat ...

Thank you. Makes sense.

Hi

Is there a reason why my reserves never seem to activate when defending? It is winter 1941 and (as Axis) I have set most of my frontline to reserve status. When playing against the AI, I have not seen one reserve activiation on defence whatsoever. Is there a reason for this?

Thanks

This has been a useful discussion. It would be helpful to have an idea of the optimal settings to use for ground support doctrine. I note that most soviet units have up to decent low altitude flack and poor high altitude flack - on this basis does it make sense to set altitude to over 21k for these ...

Thanks, Loki.

Thanks. That is what I have been more or less trying to do throughout the campaign. But it is now going into 1943 and my logistical network still doesn't seem to be supplying my forces properly. Nearly all the railways have been repaired, but something still seems off. Is it the way I have been ...

Hi

After months of playing I still don't think I have mastered the logistics system.

As the Germans (esp during winter 41/42 and 42/43 I am trying to keep my depleted units up to strength by rotating and refitting them at the nearest depot. Is this bad for supply for my units on the frontline as ...

Hi

In the 1941 campaign, the HE 177 squadrons are shown as never being deployed to the eastern front. Is this correct? My understanding is that they conducted several deep raids into Russian territory during the war.

No, unfortunately even compressed the file still exceeds 2mb.

Joel - how do I attach a save game? Doesn't seem to work when I try to upload the file.

Thanks

Wait, so you’re saying I’ve done pretty well inflicting those sorts of losses?

Thanks everyone. I must say, they have done a great job with the AI. One of the best AIs I’ve seen for a strategy game. It will only get better through subsequent patches.

Thanks. Didn’t know about the Pz replacement battalion feature. I pulled all my Pz Divisions into reserve. Do you find keeping them on the front over winter and attaching the replacement battalions into the units works better?

<r> It is 21 December 41 - I failed to secure Moscow, Rostov and Lenningrad (which is isolated). Is there any point in plodding through Winter? Will I be able to muster any effective spring / summer offensive? <br/>
<br/>
[Update]: 3 German divisions in the south have been encircled with no hope ...

<t> I find that as summer turns to autumn, the combat effectiveness of Panzer Groups significantly diminishes and the scope for large encirclements correspondingly reduces. By late September / October, is it advisable to instead press on to secure victory locations (ie cities like Kursk, Orel and ...

Thanks, Loki.
