I've done it too, and have won. You have to play a bit greedy, and keep in mind Germany gets to go after you do. Having at least 150 MPP makes a big difference.

<t> Typically, the number values you see will be how much damage will be inflicted on the port itself, ie: the port is at strength level 10, and a 2 point hit will put it at 8. The percentage value is how much chance the ship in the port will be attacked, ie: 20% chance to hit the ship and I think ...

Thanks, I thought all equivalent units had the same numbers.

The previous versions had more disparity in numbers of similar units. A German army or corps had better attack and defense capabilities than Italian ...

<t> Play around with the Diplomacy on this.....works best in player vs player though.<br/>
My friend determined the best use of diplomacy is on the USA and USSR, in fact, I think either shut it off, or have a gentlemen's agreement not to touch those when facing a human.<br/>

If you are Axis ...

Other than being a bit gametastic like described above i always take the deal. It is more important to get my forces east than to get the extra MPP. The clock is always running as the Axis.

<r> Here is an interesting one. When I center Athens, Greece on the map, then hit 'P' to bring up the partisans, I get:<br/>
Failed(draw_unit_layer_to_buffer): Segmentation violation<br/>
<br/>
I can go to other areas of the map and hit 'P', and it works normally. <br/>
I can repeat this at will ...

If the French Capitol can go to more than one place, that's trouble<br/>

I just had the French surrender without me taking their new capitol, so it is not that big a ...

<t> I just don't think stacking will be part of this series. However, one thing I think could be interesting would be attachments.<br/>
<br/>
Instead of the upgrades which affect mainly the attack and defense values, I was thinking of specialized attachments that would be pricey, and only one can ...

This is very well done, makes me want to do an AAR! What size do you set your screenshots to? Yours are perfect in size. I am looking forward to your Barbarossa campaign.

<t> Numdydar, do you just have to take Algeria? If the French Capitol can go to more than one place, that's trouble. If only Algeria, that could work!! Good call, not touching Paris.<br/>

Edit: Do you set up a group to sail into Syria, to open up a 2nd front on Egypt? Just curious ...

The random effect of the diplomacy creates a level of replayability I guess. I had the same issue that I actually invaded Russia with no Hungarian and Romania help in 1941. Same "stuck" levels ...

<t> I am thinking also, for Romania and Bulgaria, the logistics may not be in place to support a large army. If you keep playing this game, let us know if they do enter the war on your side. I would say if they don't by August 1941, then they won't. At the very least, that would be a great piece of ...

<t> Only if you are not invading USSR does it have any value. Spain really likes this, and if you conquer France and take the British Isle, Spain, irrc, will automatically join the Axis. I also like to point out, from my view, I have not had a successful campaign when I don't kill Russkies in ...

That is one spot I find the AI lacking. It's too easy to clear up the U-boat by 1940 with access to the British and French navies. I am guilty of not playing the Allies as of yet in SC3, but I will take your word that Axis U-boats are too aggressive before France is out of the war.

<t> Goodmongo has good advice! Also, the Italians usually can hold until the DAK arrives. Oh, what I do, is make sure to have 3 Italian armies leading the assault; the armies hold up much better than corps.<br/>
<br/>
Another part, if supply is a huge issue (and this is my favorite tactical use of ...

<t> Nope, either the two spots have lower that 5, or it's a bug. Or, all hexes around those two spots are full of units. Are these the free units on the purchased track, or are these units you bought? Africa isn't a home country, and new Italian units have to start in Italy. I was assuming the units ...

<t> I find this version of Strategic Command the most weighted in the favor of DDs versus subs. It feels about right to me though, and I think we need quite a few more hours to see how it plays out. I am glad it's going live soon, as there isn't enough beta testing to determine if the balance on sub ...

<t> It's been a nice problem to have. I come and check if I find a problem, and it's already been listed. Been trying crazy stuff the last two weeks, and no problems arise. It's been great, and the release date of 11/17/2016 looks like a safe bet. Congratulations to the programming and design teams ...

I don't mind this game not being exact, as the abstract just won't let it happen. As long as it provides a reasonable historical bent, and is competitive, and FUN, I will accept what you give us. If I want something to model something closer to history WitE gives me that.
