O yeah, I'm usng v1.16. Would it help to send a savegame to someone?

<t> I'm playing WaW 33d, it's the spring of 1942, and I've just started my invasion of Russia. I'm unable to continue, however, because I keep getting an error during the AI's turn:<br/>

<t> Replaying WaW (33d this time), I agree with GrumpyMel. It's too easy to postpone your attack. In reality, Germany was in a lot of hurry to conquer as much of Europe as possible before the inevitable war with Russia would start. WaW rewards taking it easy, not conquering Paris right away, and ...

I've always assumed that HQ power is updated as soon as it changes. If the enemy fucks up and enables me to take out a tactical HQ before attacking its subordinate units, I do that immediately. Not only do you disrupt their leadership, you also disrupt their supply. It's a double win.

<t> I love building halftracks, but for short games they're too expensive. I love them mostly because I used to play Panzer General, and there halftracks were vastly superior to trucks in every possible way. This doesn't seem to be the case in AT, though.<br/>
<br/>
Perhaps halftracks should get ...

Another reflection i make when i look at for example the russian scenarios is that good players tend to make big stacks with something like 80-90% fighters and only 10-10% divebombers.

Correct me if I am wrong but there is no way to automatically "stretch" supply lines...you need to move the nearest HQ so it is within the maximum range of the troops it supports. My question ...

One of the things that is problematic in the scenerio is that Germany and Japan can sit back and hold off attacking indefinately while they outproduce the allies. Although this gives China and Russia lots of time to prepare a defence... not ...

Well, it's like I said: I have read the manual twice, played the tutorial 3 times and played all four training games with the naval one 3 times, so I am aware of all what you guys are saying so I think I have my answer: maybe I do know ...

When you open a scenario, there is a briefing on the right side of the window that should have the scenario specific rules. The notes on the WAW scenario are a bit long so you will have to scroll down. You many want to copy & paste and then ...

<t> I'm currently trying WaW 30 (not the most recent version, I know), and something funny just happened:<br/>

I play the western Blitz card, attack the Low Countries, invade France, and reach the outskirts of Paris. But I don't leave a garrison on Amsterdam. On his turn, the AI counter ...

Not first hand. I bought a dirt cheap Peak HD3850 (reputed to have a badly fitted cooler), and replaced the ...

<t> I agree. When I came here, I spent some time looking for the strategy discussions. There's a bit in the main forum, a bit in the mods & scenarios forum, and probably bits and pieces elsewhere. And I don't know where best to ask my stupid newbie questions, so I ask them all over the place. Would ...

<t> I think so. It also depends on how many supplies the HQ has. With lots of supplies, it can't move unless it also has lots of trucks. But I don't think a HQ needs trucks to distribute its supplies to its subordinate units and HQs. But boosting its own movement is not the most important reason to ...

<t> Thanks for the explanation, Manus. I didn't know subunits could transfer by themselves (I assume you mean without trucks from a HQ?). But with strategic movement (I thought the game itself called it strategic transfer, but I'm probably wrong), I had the impression that units being moved that way ...

<t> I'm still new to this game, but as far as I understand, trucks and horses can be used in two completely different ways: in a unit to increase the move of slower subunits (like arty) as described above, and in a HQ to provide transport capacity for transfers and strategic transfers to distant ...
