Hi Panjack:

Interesting reading for a newbie to the game as well. My small bit of advice. Make your own plan. Stick with it. Learn from it. And just have fun.

I would like to second Michael T's suggestion. It would be helpful to more accurately plot your moves. Especially when in close proximity to the enemy.

It's essential to make a fight out of Leningrad in every game, even if it falls, keeping the Axis busy there until mud helps Moscow. But if the Axis really wants it, they are probably going to get it. It really depends how much they ...

<t> I know What Pelton is talking about because I had the exact same thing happen to me in my last game. No need to further elaborate but my suggestion is playing server based games (especially if you don't know your opponent very well). They are very easy to set up lot's of challenges to choose ...

<t> Interesting AAR as always Tarhunnas. My current game is a the same point as yours and my front line (as the Axis) is almost exactly the same with the notable exception that I will not capture Leningrad. Curious about the losses for both sides? Can you share a screenshot?<br/>

Thanks.<br ...

Thanks for the work updating the manual. Well done sir!

<t> Hi Guys:<br/>
<br/>
Looking for an opponent for the 1941 - 45 campaign game. At the Blitz club I am #2 on the ladder after a victory as the Axis. Would like to try the Soviet side but will play either side.<br/>

Only requirements are a dedicated player for 3 to 4 turns a week.<br ...

Morvael:

Be sure to properly garrison the cities you capture with security/static units. That will cut down the number of partisans created significantly.

Thanks for this great game.&nbsp; I have been playing as the Axis vs the AI on normal and I am currently on turn 45 and starting my version of Case Blue for the summer of 42 campaign.&nbsp; Playing on v1.03 overall the game has played great.&nbsp; The AI has been a ...

Superb AAR. One of the best I have read. Very informative and your style of writing makes it a fun read as well.<br/>

So far my favorite scenario is Peiper's race for the Meuse as well though I have only played a couple so far. BTW, your Peiper pictures and captions ...

Hi Bill:

Not a problem at all. I am really enjoying our game and hope for a rematch when it's finished.

Hey, we all start off green, and make many mistakes along the way. The trick is to be observant, learn from them, then get back on your horse and kick back - only smarter and harder. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

That Union player under 800 PP in May 1863 that Ironwarrior mentioned would be me. [8|]

<t> Hi IronWarrior:<br/>
<br/>
I am a rookie also. Just completing my 2nd game against the AI as the Union. I think I can give you a fair game with the rules you suggested. Let's use limited command recovery also. No restarts from me! [;)]<br/>

If interested let's start a game.<br/>

Hi Erik:

Thanks a lot for the quick response and fix. Really appreciate it. Now on to tackle a KV 2....... [8|]

Hi Erik:

Thanks. The Alt-Tab cleared up the white overlay problem. The files you asked for are on the way.

Thanks for your help.

Mark

Hi FNG:

I saw your post on that and I tried re-installing the v1.01 patch with my virus software turned off but still no luck.

The strange white overlay on my tactical map at the end of the 3rd scenario is what I think caused the problem.

Mark

<t> Hi Erik:<br/>
<br/>
Playing the 1st Panzer Division Long campaign. Toward the end of the 3rd scenario the tactical screen suddenly turned white. I could complete the scenario but the next scenario will not load. When loading the game freezes up when it is toward the end of "loading units" just ...

<t> I thought I would contribute my experience as well.<br/>

As a veteran ASL, SP and CM player I too passed on OWS.&nbsp; Just didn't seem to be up to par with CM a game I love and the wargame I have played the most.&nbsp; Mostly PBEM at the Blitz wargaming club.<br/>

I was going to ...

<t> Well as I have already said to you privately, we disagree, the rules of the game support my position, Frank hasn't said there is a problem so let's move on to other opponents and games.<br/>
<br/>
Oh and by the way I didn't "intentionally" over stack any hexes. Because of the restrictive ...
